John Montoya--Toughhombres

He could pass for Brian Castillo's brother. A San Antonio street ruler for sure.

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.

Lazy Sunday

Went and rode downtown for a little while on Sunday. Managed to session one spot for a couple of hours. Made a little self filmed edit with the Kodak Zi8. Some of the clips turned out pretty good. Not bad for an old man.

Jack Smith KOV Austin, Texas

I lifted a photo from Steve O's Facebook page this morning. Jack Smith riding in the 2-HIP KOV in Austin, Texas. I think that this is the one that had the ramp on the barges in the river. That was an epic contest.
