Title: bmx freestyle 80's. On TV Saturday mornings
Post by: dancetothedrummersbeat on May 14, 2012, 06:55 PM

Back in the mid 80's (84-87 ish?), does anyone remember a short segment on the Wide Awake Club on ITV about bmx freestyle? I think it lasted for about 5 minutes per show. I think Tommy Boyd was one of the main presenters of the show (and I think Mike Myers of Austin Powers/Waynes World made a few guest appearances). Each week, 2 bmx riders would show you how to do a new trick, either on the flat or on ramps. Does anyone remember it, and can recall what the segment was called? Who were the riders, and is there any video footage of it knocking around?

Hope someone can help!
Thanks. Andy

They were the test team for BMX Bi weekly. Great stuff. Thought initially the thread was about BMX Beat with Gaz Top.
