The Rise of BMX Freestyle - My book coming soon
« on: January 07, 2013, 01:45 PM »


For those interested, this is hopefully going to print in a couple of weeks time and should be available soon after. In brief, its 144 Pages of insights and pictures from the era 1978 - 1986. Many of the pictures have never been seen and are from the personal archives of the riders covered in this volume. I spent some time on the road in the states last year as part of a mini film crew recording footage for a DVD we hope to release. I also interviewed everybody featured in different parts of the country to get some new information.

Dominguez haul of old photo's and slides..


Riders- Bob Morales, Eddie Fiola, Ron Wilton, Rich Sigur, Craig Campbell, Mike Dominguez, Tony Murray, Marc McGlynn, Ron Wilkerson, Brian Blyther, Dave Nourie, Terry Jenkins and of course Dennis McCoy. Rick M and Joe Johnson both joined at the end of the period and will be covered in detail in the second volume (if that happens) which covers 1987 - 1991.

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.
