Got this sent over to me at the NJ Bike Summit this past Saturday by super JORBA man, Jeff Mergler. JORBA is really working heavily with the BMX community to make a lot of great stuff happen. Word I’m getting is that a pump (…um not PUNK, LOL) track is a definite up there with […]
Almost too unreal to believe, BMXNJ found out through the VintageBMX grapevine today that super quick Factory Ace Anthony Derosa is (for the time being) retiring from BMX racing. Anthony and his father were a big presence on the NJ scene and what not too many people may know is that Ant actually contributed quite […]
Yes Virgina, there is still BMX racing in NJ. Hot on the heels of the state commissioner of NBL BMX racing in NJ resigning came this “controversial” President’s Cup jersey design from an undisclosed source. Quickly put up on the unofficial source for BMX racing discussion in NJ, Bill Hayden’s njbmxracing.com website, comments and “intense” discussion […]
Dave Dechert, the main man behind the story in “The East Coast Is The Right Coast”, was cool enough to hit us up for a jersey to race in as he is getting back into some racing. (You can never stay away…not possible.)
On Wednesday August 26, Hunterdon County BMX hosted Cub Scouts from Pennsylvania’s Hatboro Pack 17 and Horsham Pack 675. This was the Scouts first visit to a BMX track as well as their first time riding off jumps! (Their lives will never be the same! J )

Here’s a little vid of the action from the ERA Kingston Cup this past weekend. Check out the mention of Phil’s name at least twice and look for him in semi 2 as well as the B Main (consolation main). It should be noted that ALL the pros are rocking phlat pedals, (yea, I spelled […]
The Dragon from TR, Phil Delizia….did not make the main at the first ever Elite Racing Association Cup race in Kingston Ontario Canada, BUT he did make it past the motos into the semis, where he got sixth. Normally at your average, who really cares if you are a pro or not national that would […]
BMXNJ’s Bad Boy Club hat is off to all the racers from NJ who made their mains at the 2008 NBL Grand Nationals. Our hats are also off to all those who spent the gas money to get to those events! It’s been a rough year in that arena.
