Just curious if anyone knows if there is such a thing? I remember most of the NBL nationals that i raced in were video taped professionally and it would be cool if I could obtain copys of those events.

I had one that I recently sold on Ebay. But I did burn it to DVD before I sold it.. I think it was from 1988 or something. Mike King was on Haro.. Greg Hill on Robinson... Those old races were so fun to watch. I would love to get a few copies of NBL or ABA nationals myself.. They have to be around..

I have the woodward and big apple national from 1985 on tape I should put it on dvd one day

Is it professionally shot? Good quality...??? If you need it on DVD>> you came to the right place.. Legendary footage should be on DVD soon. I guess quality on those old VHS tapes is about 20 years, then they start to really loose it..

I have a couple of the tapes from the ABA grands circa 84-85. I also have 2 or 3 of the early AFA contests. I need to find a Beta machine to transfer them to DVD.

Which race in 1988 was it? If its on DVD it would be easy to upload to the net.

We have tons of Video tapes at ABA. We thinking about copying everything to DVD and putting it out for sale again. I get hit up via email all the time at the ABA office about footage of past events. We did a good job of hanging on to our history!

Youtube has several videos of races from BITD, although the quality is shite.

This video has been posted here and was the subject of many fiery debates. It is the 1980 ABA midwest national in Elkhart, IN It was the first ABA national east of the Mississippi. Wildman
