In the early 1980s, BMX freestyle became a creative lightning rod for a generation of kids around the world. Through organized contests, magazines, & VHS tapes, the sport spread virally out of its birthplace in Southern California & into the broader territories of North America. Ambitious new brands scaled up to meet the escalating demand for bikes & accessories. Factory sponsored riders spent long summers on the road, taking the message to the youth of America in Chevy vans, towing giant wooden ramps.

They were more than just the founders of an alternative sport; they were essential to its direction, growth, & culture throughout this legendary first era. This story is the legacy of that community. ...
