Title: BMX trophy history found this morning
Post by: animal on July 07, 2012, 11:15 AM
I needed some engraving done 4 a little BMX project I have on the go . Was recommended 2 a small shop right round the corner from where I live in Walsall Wood by a work mate. Any how went and the old guy in there is gonna sort my stuff no worries I hope  ;) Got chatting 2 him about my hobby etc as u do  ::) Turns out his name is John White and bitd he made up and engraved all the trophies 4 Birmingham Wheels and also the Kelloggs Championships. Remembers Andy Ruffell, Tim Match etc. Says he still has some medals and trophies that he is gonna look out 4 me when I pick my bits up  8) Guy was really really nice and a nice bit of History discovered on my doorstep almost by accident. Made my weekend has that  :daumenhoch:

It's surprising how many people were involved in BMX in some shape or form in the early 80's
