SST Dirt Skirt
Invented by Brian Scura, the Dirt Skirt would prevent dirt entering the bottom of the headset.
The "B.S." (Brian Scura) Dirt Skirt was '81-'82 era. After much complaining by parents about the risqué name, they finally changed the name, it was good timing as the company, Scura Speed Technologies, also was evolving. So, they simply changed the name to "S.S.T." Dirt Skirt.
The tagline for the Dirt Skirt was "Keeps you balls from getting crusty"

Redline Flight "401" Series Cranks
The full-wrapped single-pinch Redline Flight™ 401 Series Cranks are regarded as the second (2nd) generation Redline Flight™ Cranks by oldschool BMX collectors. These are the most sort-after cranks for any 80's build.
Full-Wrapped refers to how the pedal and spindle bosses are connected to the crank arm. Full-wrapped cranks have both the spindle boss and pedal boss completely wrapped by the crank arm. Single-Pinch refers to there being a single pinch bolt securing the spindle boss to the spindle.
According to the Redline History, 401 Series cranks were offered in White on February 1st 1985.

Pedal cage color options will be Black, Blue, Gold, Red, and Silver. Unlike the originals, these pedals will feature precision sealed bearings.

Takagi MX Mang-Moly Size-Stamped One Piece Cranks
"The Takagi MX Mangmoly Cranks are made of Manganese/Mang-Moly. During the late 70's, Japan's bicycle industry/manufacturing was in full swing and their supply of chrome-moly steel couldn't keep up with the demand abroad. This gave way to Mang-Moly being used as an alternative for chromoly bicycle parts and frames due to it's similar characteristics." - Takagi cranks of different types ~ BMX Society
