For a short shining period in my racing career I was factory support redline. As shown by this shot taken in the infamous Jersey City Armory, I liked jumping more than racing and the following year I would be full on freestyle. JC Armory is also the site of the first freestyle demo we ever did in the winter of 1984. Anyway a toast to the classic one footed tabletop and all the people who made indoor racing in NJ in the 80’s a reality! #bmx #njbmx #oldschoolbmx #redlinebmx Check it out...
Last issue of a wizard pub and last place in the…average joe class…me. Things to note: this was at the infamous hoffman estates ramp park in Chicago. @billnitschke and @bmxtrickstars were killing it. jeff Crawn had just turned pro. And Colin Winkleman (RIP) shredded my class. It’s really odd to be frozen in time in that last issue of Go from that era. It was truly the changing of the guard back then. A new world awaited BMX freestyle and the Osborns would have nothing to do with it. The following fall McDonald would start Ride BMX magazine and the sport would change again. BMX is life. #bmx #njbmx #midschoolbmx #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx Check it out...
Throwback Thursday Yep, somehow I was able to wrangle myself into becoming a #1 rider in the ABA. Ok, it was on the cruiser but still, I... Check it out...
Why they changed the name to Go will always be way beyond me. Dumbest decision ever. Anyway…the last issue of a Wizard publication and 14 years from when I picked up my first wizard pub, I was finally able to get recognition for stuff that was being done in NJ. My ramp park, the Ramp-Ateria was shown in the Section 8 part of the mag. It was really mind blowing to see something I had created in what was the premiere mag for riders at that time. Sadly this was their last issue and a massive era for BMX came to a close with wiz pubs demise. Not long after the ramp park would close as well. There’s other news from this issue as well but that is a post for another day.. for now a tearful farewell to a great magazine with a super stupid name. Salute. #bmx #njbmx #bmxmagazine #gotheridersmanual #njbmxfreestyle #bmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmxfreestyle #oldschoolbmx Check it out...

By about 1991 most local contest were put on by local riders. There was a killer crew in south jersey who did a lot for freestyle BMX in NJ and this shot of an 86 trick in 1991 was taken at one of those comps. If I could just remember theirs names… ah the old days… or the beginning of mid school as some would say. #bmx #njbmx #bmxfreestyle #njbmxfreestyle @oldschoolbmxtv @oldschoolbmxfreestyle I loved the paint scheme on this @harobmx freestyler and yes I rode flat and street at that point. Not well…LOL but I did. Check it out...

Local headlines. By the time 1992 rolled around myself and Eric Fleming were hitting the 2b Soul Kitchen NBL series. We actually had one at the Ramp-Ateria back then and Eric and I did pretty good in our respective classes. Leigh Ramsdell, who’s wheels you see, moved past Kevin Robinson to win “vert”. Which was the old HVTT 1/4 pipe, LOL! The dead era of BMX in NJ. #bmx #njbmx #njbmxfreestyle #midschoolbmx #oldschoolbmxfreestyle @oldschoolbmxtv @oldschoolbmxfreestyle Check it out...
