I can honestly say that I read this issue of BMX Action over a million times when it came out. Another classic cover shot from Bob Osborn, and another good issue with a ton of good content. On the cover, Donovan Ritter tips his hat and runs his number 1 sideways. Hey, Eddie Fiola ran his upside down. Looks good to me. Do a search online about those two. Some interesting rants from Donovan about Eddie.
When a bunch of us in the neighborhood saw this photo, we all decided to go ride our bikes into a pond in the subdivision across the street from a local ditch we would ride all the time. Much to our surprise, not as fun if you don't have a ramp. Hey, we didn't care, it was summer in Texas, we needed to cool off.
Two of the best styles ever. Hands down. Brian Blyther on the left with a "tuck" air at the usual Blyther height. Guy went so high and was always so smooth. And Mike Dominquez on the right with a proper look back. I must have driven Mr. Sanders at Action Bikes mad all the times I would call him. "Do you have white Tuff Wheels with the blue hubs?" I called so much the number is burned into my brain.
Tons of good coverage from this contest. Eddie being a hard ass riding with a cast on. Brian Beam's one handed fence plant is crazy especially where he was doing it. And well, more awesomeness from Dominquez.
A while back I had posted something about the time line of "The Judge" jump. This was Tim Judges response to all the hoopla. DAMN! That would make even Vic Murphy proud.
