BMX Action--November 1984


















BMX Action November 1984 and "Capt" Kirk Chrisco with a killer on footed downside table at The U. Another great Bob Osborn cover shot.

I wonder how no one at this time didn't realize how absolutely crazy those CW bars where. And what the Hell was I doing trying bar hops on them?













Holy ring of fire! Gerritt Jan Koornwinder and Hans de Jons won top honnors with this "hot" picture. Those silly Dutch riders both won GT bikes. I guess it is fitting seeing as it says they are both team riders for Kuwahara.













I remember seeing that shot of Kevin Hull blasting over that trailer and thinking that he must have died on the landing. What a great picture. Did GT re-shoot this for another ad later on? And what ever happened to that dork doing the look back from Kansas? What was his name again? Dennis McCoy something or other?













Great spread of RL coming in fast at a Rockville show. Those crowds there were always the biggest.













Possible one of the most famous Tim Judge shots ever. Blasting off the pier behind Mr. Hutch's house. I still want a pair of those Oakley wing arm bands. Someone make it happen.
