[@slickmic6113]

I raced 17 and over expert at the end of my career I had finished with 55 trophies I met a lot of these Pros best time of my life!!!!!

[@petermariner6323]

All the legends of the best time of my life are in these races. Roll call of BMX royalty.

[@jag5508]

Wow talk about a gate full of hero's in the main . Great video and the commercials too .

[@billyjoechambers8494]

Greg Hill, Stu Thompson ,th ose were the days. good stuff

[@solidstream13]

Thank you for the walk down memory lane

[@seanfried5583]

This is friggin' awesome. These guys were all my heros

[@MikeKollin]

So funny how all their names come back... I was big time into racing back then. Sponsored by a local bike shop, Paid for all my gear, bike, frame, parts, entry fees and travel... Life was good!! 🤣🤣 I had so much fun back then!

[@chrismartin500]

Love the old school foot drop in the berms!!

[@tucker21ful]

I took 4th in 10 expert class that weekend. I was proud of hat considering you were probably racing the best around the country at that time! I remember how much faster that race was compared to local races! That was 40 years ago for me but remember all the names of the pros , my hero’s at the time 🤘

[@M3LTUP]

Seems like BMX in the 80s was much more aggressive than today. Kids today all have full face helmets. And some even use peddle clips. I miss the 80s.

[@ozarkcharlie9331]

You need to check out an Olympic Bmx race friend. Big Shyt

[@tnerbsg8134]

😂😂 wtf. Oh God a full face helmet?! 😂

[@yellowveedub]

When Bmx was great

[@SolarEclips86]

Still is amazing bmx is a amazing sport

[@diecastmaniac2301]

eddie was a dick. pete was always cool and cool 64 impala. gun metal grey.

[@Scotty-P]

What is called "BMX" now, is not BMX.

[@batmasterson1715]

Cool bikes, sunshine, riding in packs and pit stops at 711. That is my definition of Bmx in the 80's.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Raced BMX from 82 until 87. These guys were my heros back in the day. I still have my copy of Stu Thompson's BMX from the early 80's.

[@frankbalazs8816]

I remember racing The goose Chapman all over Michigan!! Bogie downs ect!! Is this you mike,? Frank Balazs Toledo ohio

[@ajbrown5247]

Those Jox Jag shoes are actually really sweet looking

[@woodystorey]

AJ Brown....May be sweet looking but they weren’t good, the team I was on was sponsored by them....tried them once in one moto, went right back to Vans...

[@billwood6535]

Lived 5 minutes from oaks . Was there with my Pops . I can't remember who it was but they ended bailing into that pond just below the start gate. Track hasn't changed a bit. Good times.

[@massacredh]

the betters year´s bmx .... the best times!

[@chance9083]

I miss commercials that were worth watching

[@frankbalazs8816]

I was there!! Racing with Richie Anderson and Deen Neeb!!!

[@batmasterson1715]

At 13 I could only read about these races in Bmx Action now at 49 I finally witness it on You Tube. Pistol Pete is as good as advertised.

[@frankbalazs8816]

Greg Hill is the Man!! GT BMX #1 !!! ALWAYS

[@brianbyclewis5358]

14:48 John Tomac! Legend in mountain biking and bmx. Also the father of one of the greatest motocross riders ever, Eli Tomac #3

[@diecastmaniac2301]

bad ass video thank you.

[@JayandSarah]

Interesting the names from back then. Turns out the most famous guy there would turn out to be John Tomac in the 15 expert class. Crazy career and now his kid is one of the best motocross racers in history.

[@mopar1465]

Actually had to pedal back then and no clip-ins.

[@cerealkiller4248]

In the 2nd race Greg Hill in the outside lane was adopting his ‘sidewinder start’, you can just make it out. Tim March also started using it after he spent time at Greg’s place training. Great days in my distant memory.................. 😎

[@JuniorPolancoLaCoalicion]

This was the first ever BMX race I ever saw. Thanks for posting!

[@sinhocorredor]

Is good see image years 80,

[@killsalltires156]

I was so young when I started racing in 1982 at 8 years old, I had no idea how crazy fast these guys were, super cool OSF, thanks guys, and stay rad!

[@firstnamelastname3558]

Wow; Stub Thomsen. I remember that guy.

[@arnulfob3454]

Stu is bad ass !

[@mxwl12]

New day bmx racing is more now it’s own sport, 1980 bmx was just a copy of motor cross but on bikes

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I raced BMX until I could get a bike for MX. We all did.

[@ianlewis6555]

Those tracks were too short

[@landonleffler2106]

Damn, those bars and seat posts... also, whats up w the guy who had goggles on his helmet?

[@jackrussell108]

Raced against Stu Thompson many times… never beat him

[@NeilLB7]
