Before BMXNJ Ma…WAY before BMXNJ Magazine there was 1 issue of another glossy magazine based out of NJ and that mag was named, BMX Madness. Only 1 issue of the magazine was made, in 1984 and didn’t really feature much BMX in NJ beyond a cover with NJ Legend Jarrett Justice and coverage of the […]
How far back do you go in BMX? The Hoffman era? Early 90’s? Bicycle World in the 80’s? If you can remember when there was only 1 track in the state of NJ and you had to hustle down to
At one point, like I and many others have told before, BMX just about died. In the early 90’s the bottom dropped out of the BMX freestyle market, America went to war and some of us were left wondering what would happen to the sport we grew up doing. A few of us didn’t wonder, […]
Dave sent these pics over to me a few weeks ago and since I’ve been busy upgrading all my stuff over here to Vista and 64 bit computing…(It’s a pain…) it took a while to get these to the point where I could post ’em. These shots are pretty small but interesting as all get […]
Brian Shute has been cool enough to send over more shots from the early and mid 80’s days of BMX racing in NJ, PA and the east coast. He also scanned in some memorabilia. One of which is a funny as hell note left by Franco Perrino when Brian was riding for Dic’s bike shop… […]
Tim has been super busy on the scanner the past couple days and sent me some more stuff over. I got this on my blackberry today and immediately knew it HAD to be on the site ASAP. Below are the scans from the 1977 NBL Northeast National Program in Millville. This IS New Jersey roots […]
Another OBMXG (original BMX gangsta, lol) signed up the other day and told me he had a bunch of old school shots from NJ, wanted to know if I wanted to see them… OF COURSE! Another one of the great guys who raced all the way at the beginning here in NJ has opened up […]
Dan Hammell was cool enough to donate these shots of racing from the early 80’s to the site over the weekend. He sent over an email about the Dave Dechert interview and asked if I’d like to see some of his stuff from back then. Of course I was like, H**l yea man! Lots of […]
One of the cool things about doing this website is that I occasionally get hit up by an old school dude who was around during the “heyday” of BMX racing in the 80’s. At that time you could race easily 8-9 times a week in NJ and have a class at most local races. Everywhere […]
One of the BMX pioneers we always talk about on here is the originator of BMX promotion in NJ, Charlie Litsky. Unfortunately Charlie passed away at the young age of 33 leaving a large void where his smile and constant enthusiasm of not only BMX but the cycling lifestyle in general was. He was the […]
