Bicycle Motocross Action--November 1981

Great cover shot of Harry Leary blasting into a berm slide. Was 1981 Harry's best year as a Pro? Not sure, he seemed to be everywhere, and didn't seem like he was leaving anytime soon.

  

When cruisers were starting to catch on more, companies started releasing more and more to fit the demand. Funny to see some of the earlier models with their laid back geometry and tall stand over heights. It was a great starting

point for a great class of BMX bikes though. 

Jumping into bushes. Young Eddy King winning 14x. Stu Thompson sharping his pedals. And the Rupe boys tearing it up. nice group of photos for the Pittsburgh race.

Very fun looking track layout. I like all the bumps and ruts coming in and out of the turns. Lots of slipped pedals. Those fools weren't clipped in. Need to look and see who took number one that year. Close points race. 

There is so many rad things about this photo. Not just the speed these guys are doing, the era perfect BMX items. More than one rider with front brakes. Campy hubs. Riders still running those Tech I levers. Great year for BMX.

BMX Plus January 1983

Eric Rupe on the January 1983 cover of BMX Plus laying out some classic style. This months issue brought to you by No Fear, New Gear, and New Year.

The ABA Lancaster race was the last National of the year that year and there was plenty of action. BMX Plus did a great job covering it, with some really good photos from the race.

The ABA needs to bring back their "special sideshow jumping contest." Wedge ramp and all, that would be sick. I think the only other place doing that is the 9th Street Halloween jams.

The big surprise at this was was Greg Hill entering the cruiser class and winning. You have to read the four reasons Hill gave for entering. The BMX Action one is the best. Lower left has Texas boy Eddie Siegmond getting coverage and the classic style of John Crews.

Great layout to start the skatepark coverage in this issue. Look in this crowd and you can spot some pretty heavy hitters in the skatepark world.

The BMX Plus photographers were really doing a great job around these years. So many issue had great photos. Dean Bradley, James Cassimus, and John Ker really captured some special moments from this time period.
