BMX Action October 1987

Matt Hoffman on the cover of this issue. Vision Street Wear half pipe contest and GPV contest in Palm Springs. Classic Hoffman style from before he turned pro.

Oh, the times of GPV. Gravity Powered Vehicles with all of their add on wind deflectors, bug shields and other little do-dads. This didn't seem to catch on very well, but I shouldn't say that. I still enjoy bombing down big hills on my bike. Just not in that position.

While overall, the content of this issue was a bit on the thin side. The coverage from the vert contest in Palm Springs pretty much made up for it. Josh White doing a can-can look back.

That shot of Matt Hoffman doing that switch hander is so good. Made my want to learn that air so bad. To bad that I sucked at vert.

Josh White was killing it a this contest. He always had the best variations, and that no footed x-up was one of them. He was always one of the smoothest in the Pro class.
