Title: Lars Sexton
Post by: Jaan on November 20, 2013, 02:55 PM

Does anyone remember Lars Sexton from BITD? I know he's better known for karting and driving for Prodrive but I thought i'd ask the question.

Heres an interview with him aged 4 interviewed for Kellogs BMX.  http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL06C5957938D43029

I recently picked up a CW cruiser that used to belong to him, whats interesting about it is that it has an inverted stem and seat post clamp custom fabricated for him.

Yeah, he used to race against my little brother. I think he was pretty good.

Couple of years below me. Decent national standard racer. Seem to remember he was from west midlands region and rode with redline gear in '87. I have a memory of him racing my mate at Derby greyhound stadium at national club/British champs 87/88.
