One of the great things that I personally have gotten out of running this site the past few years is meeting people who actually were around at the dawn of BMX in New Jersey all the way back to the earliest days. One of those guys is John Malone, he has a whole photo gallery of pictures from the […]
Well, here it is, the final installment in the Harry Myers interview. This is the part where I actually really got to meet the guy 1987-1989 and sorta be there towards the end, lol, the end of General and the end of the beginning of freestyle BMX. I scoured some of the old mags and found […]
Guess I’ll give a little preface here as well. Harry the originator of Craigmeur had the National NBA tour through the area in 1978 and was drawing in a huge amount of riders every race. People were impressed by the facility and he was getting notoriety in the industry. At the time a lot of […]
When I was growing up and just learning about BMX, one track was already a legend in New Jersey. Craigmeur BMX. It was located in the Vernon Valley area and already by 1979 had seen an NBA National, all the pros and was known as THE track to go to if you were serious about […]

Legendary in their time, the ECD guys were notorious for severally shredding at comps and jams throughout the North East during the early and mid 90’s. The footage you are about to see is from 1993 but incorporated in a 1995 video. You see by 1995 Jeff Crawn had a…pretty bad accident at Hoffman Estates […]

Andy’s Dad was good enough to have an old (then new) 8mm video camera and captured this footage. This is over 31 years old…Andy is actually on there somewhere but there is also a lot […]
Some video from Jim Stinson, an OS BMX rider from PA. Watch and see Mr Stix founder, Dave Scruggs (3:13 in) and future National 1 rider, Danny Notte (5:15 in), in 1980…31 YEARS AGO! LEGENDS of BMX in NJ. (Danny was from my home town.)
Courtesy of Brian Shute, this is some historical footage of Brian racing, as well as a tribute to where most of the east coast BMX community would wind up in the winter months, The Jersey City Armory. Realize this footage is TWENTY FIVE YEARS OLD.
