Hia all

Just thought it might be nice to compile what we think are the most iconic shots in old-school BMX...

It could be Craig Campbell banging a footplant, Harry Leary powering out of a corner, Neil Ruffel hanging a massive one footer, Bob Haro kickturn, or Woody Itson doing another gay endo variation

- it could be anything!

So, what image sums up old-school BMX to you?

Post it up here and let's get a nice one-stop thread.

Cheers
Dave

As much as I have no time for the geezer, that magazine centrespread ( I think) of Andy Ruffell bunnyhopping the tennis net comes to mind.

i havn't got the pic, but the one that is burnt into my brain is John Crews crossed up and sorted of folded in behind the bike. this was a "hot shot" in BMXA, probably around '80. any good ol' crossed up tabletop on a dirt track, i would think is iconic.
i noticed most of the pics here are freestyle which was used as a side show bitd. check the faces in the crowds.
