A little BMX History

[reilley1]

Today's lesson. The Jurrasic Period

   


Never pass a frame that looks like a Huffy...

   


Mountain Bikers DID not discover front suspension

   


If you twist your mouth just right, you can sound just like a 250cc Penton

   

ON Any Sunday is the greatest movie of all time

   


Cruiser racing was not invented in 79

   

The MX in BMX stands for Motocross

   

and kids CAN change the world:

watched On Any Sunday the other day, top film, great bmx clips at the start, and the desert motorbike racing looked great fun made me wana go and do some

True.   I shyed away from watching On Any Sunday for decades, but saw it earlier this year and loved every minute of it. Quite inspirational really.  Dust to Glory is another film in the same vein all about the Baja 1000, well worth a look

Yeah. You'll find it in Videohouse or Amazon maybe.   Motorcycle based, and focusing on a couple of riders predominately.  Bloody good though
