There's bmx tracks all over. I still race at 54 and so do my kids and wife

[@LearnBMXRacing]

Impressive. Considering this is 35 years old, there's some good advice in this video which still pertains to racing today.

Titans were the cream of the crop at the track back in the late 80s early 90s.

[@metalpiper]

I'm 58 and raced in the 80's.....coolest thing I ever did!! RAD!!

[@johnw.9363]

Had Stu Thompsons HUFFY white tuff wheels front and rear Mx 1000 brakes was a great 20' bmx bike...

[@tommyboy7210]

My son Jon Albritton put it all together at the Bakersfield U.S. Nationals in 87 scored a triple national win there in 8 expert, for some reason they showed the video and had 11 open caption under his name. He jumped the big double there and ran away from the pack. He raced for Titan Factory that year and won a lot of races for them. Good times!

[@SetRuleTv]

Th actual race we're watching looks like a "local" race to me .. .presumably somewhere in California especially with the factory riders present, (CW) Charles Townsend.. Greg Hill, Todd Blaser (Elf) etc

[@donnyhaddoxjr25]

Pretty positive race was ABA Winter Nationals in Scottsdale 86 or 87.

[@ricklowry5447]

This was the US nationals in Bakersfield ca. I was at this race and remember the track very well. Saturday it rained and flooded parts of the track. Sunday it was sun. Great times.

[@JClark2600]

Interesting to see ELF from back in the day. Also I didn't know that In Hee Lee was racing back in 87, in about 3 or 4 years I believe he was the #1 Am in ABA. RIP NBL hahaha
