Dale Matson posted a bunch of really good pictures on his Facebook page, and I think most of them can also be found over on his Blog http://midwestfreestyle.weebly.com/index.html Really awesome stuff over there. Somewhere on there is a kick ass picture of Hoffman blasting over Moliterno. So rad.

Trashcan Morgan Nothing

From the November 1981 issue of Bicycle Motocross Action. Trashcan Morgan giving a nothing his best try. I was always under the impression that Wilkerson came up with the nothing. Seems Morgan got it done first on dirt. Ron took it to vert. And Mat Hoffman rocks the helmet without the visor. Wouldn't it be epic if everyone not running brakes these days would start running just a coaster brake?

Update to the Florida walls.

I could not forget this. Should have gone in the Freestylin' post from earlier today. Craig Campbell killing it on those walls in Florida.And Dave Voelker doing what he still does best.

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.

Colorado 2-HIP King of Vert

Such a rad contest. I wonder if anyone still has their Swatch Watches?

More BMX scans.

Pulled a few more pictures to scan tonight. Just some random ones I had in a box in the garage. Love the picture of Chris. Text book perfect no-hander on vert. 

Mat Hoffman at one of the Austin AFA comps. I don't remember the year. If anyone remembers e-mail me.
