1982 JAG BMX World Championships

This was posted on Vintage BMX earlier. The audio is kinda messed up but the footage is still really good. The opening race where that guy blows up in a wheelie is priceless.

BMX Plus September 1983

What a great cover shot. This might mark the point when BMX Plus started to cram as much stuff onto their covers as they could. Number 55 has a blood red though bubble coming out of his head. He really should be thinking of the race at hand, not coast to coast coverage. 

These Redline PL-24's always seemed to be the tallest 24" cruisers out at the time. The six inch head tube didn't help matters. Wonder how many of these are around now a days? Pretty rare bird, and not to mention finding a fork with a nine inch long steering tube.

Here is a picture of that head tube. What was Redline thinking putting on those Tech II levers? The test crew for Plus had a solution, but I wouldn't call it a good fix. Horrible levers. I seem to recall Redline switching over to the Tech III when it came out. Good move.

Looks like Tim Judge made another Rad Gallery. He had the best one footed table tops. And yes, Dia-Compe is the number one brake in BMX. I might have had 4 or five set of those MX-1000 and MX-900 brakes. It was cool to run the colors all switched out. Red and black, black and red, gold and black. Who else did that?

I couldn't imagine bumping elbows with these guys in the AA pro class. Stu Thompson and Brian Patterson look like they are about to lock up while fighting for first place. These guys were crazy fast.
