Hia all
Just thought it might be nice to compile what we think are the most iconic shots in old-school BMX...
It could be Craig Campbell banging a footplant, Harry Leary powering out of a corner, Neil Ruffel hanging a massive one footer, Bob Haro kickturn, or Woody Itson doing another gay endo variation ;) - it could be anything!
So, what image sums up old-school BMX to you?
Post it up here and let's get a nice one-stop thread.
:daumenhoch:
Cheers
Dave

i havn't got the pic, but the one that is burnt into my brain is John Crews crossed up and sorted of folded in behind the bike. this was a "hot shot" in BMXA, probably around '80. any good ol' crossed up tabletop on a dirt track, i would think is iconic.
i noticed most of the pics here are freestyle which was used as a side show bitd. check the faces in the crowds.

Nice Andy!

The Hoffman pic would be mid-school but a classic none the less.Even if he was aided by a motorcycle.You deffo wouldn't wanna clip the coping at that height & the hang
time would seem like forever!
