In October 1980, the first BMX Monthly Magazine in Thai was issued.
It called "Jak-ka-yan" in Thai which means bicycle in English. Below was the pic of the ist Issue.




Throughly 4-5 years later, we had three BMX Monthly Magazines called "Jak-ka-yan", "Super BMX" and "Bicycle". See few pics below.

Yeah, can we have a new rule for the pit bike race at MK this year - flip-flops only as footware? ;-)
Still limping......

At that time, BMX racing in Thailand normally classed riders depend on calculation of weight & height
to be 4 classes like "Small", "Medium", "Large" and "Open".

This guy, his name "Weerayuth", was the Thailand Chaimpionship in "Open" class
for period of 5 consecutive years after Yutthana who was the Champion in 79/80.









His last nice shot above was selected to be logo of our osbmx-thailand website.
