BMX Action January 1986


















Had to take a second look at this cover when it first came out. Yep, RL and Eddy are riding 24" cruisers on the Wizard Pubs halfpipe. Looks like Fiola might have liked riding the cruiser a little more than RL. He has him by at least 3 feet. He was the King of the Skateparks, he should have alley oped over RL.
This is a great shot of the pro class at the NBL Grands will Greg Hill out in the lead. I wonder what the heck happened? He just needed to make the main to have the number one spot wrapped up. Turns out he didn't and Pete Loncarevich took the top spot that year. Aaron Ross needs to see that set up Greg Hill is riding. He would be stoked on the color set up.













There are so many rad things about this picture of RL blasting a berm slide. Although the thing that stands out the most is the set up he came up with to hold his "Walkman". Someone needs to one this set up with their I-Pod.













Had to post this just because of how rad that air Fiola is doing. Text book perfect table on a 24" cruiser.













About this time was when RAD the movie was going to be released. This issue had some really cool coverage of the making of the movie. If I remember correctly RAD was up for Best Picture that year at the Oscars right? Take a look for yourself. RAD in HD.
