Brian Shute. In the mid to late 80’s a new wave of racers were coming into play in NJ. Brian was one of them. Hailing from the south NJ area, he was a local to Clayton BMX and Deptford. Undisputably one of the fastest riders to come out of NJ in that time, he would […]
Like I keep saying the best part of running a site that is all about something you really believe in, is meeting other people who feel the same way. I got an email a couple weeks ago from Dan saying he dug the Dave Dechert vid and had a bunch of shots from NJ and […]
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 […]

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 […]
Courtesy of my ol bro, Andy Moraller. This is 8mm video footage of the 3rd World Championship in Indianapolis, Indiana. 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.)
