I'm basically a caveman so I love pictures. Especially ones that make me miss the early days of BMX. Here's two of my favorites. Lets see them!


DAVID CLINTON


ANTHONY SEWELL

Woody Itson

Thom Lund



Bobby Encinas and Stu Thompsen

Great pics guys keep them coming! Pete that might be Stu and Brent Patterson. Great shot no matter what!

jk

OM and ?



Danny Bonaduce or maybe a young Dog Chapman?

cool thread..............i love this type of stuff!

i dont have the picture (maybe someone has it)

but, its a photo of a guy jumping a vw bug.

i think its black and white and i dont even remember the rider, but his style was simply early bmx

anyone have it?????

I think your correct. I remember Brent being #14n. Its early in the Morning, but is that a Speedo jersey he's wearing? if so, Brent...

Yes, that is Brent Patterson with SE STU over the berm

Here's my favorite....










Is this the one?? it's labeled "Beau Mahaffey BugJump"

yup, thats the one!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for posting it, one of my favs!

Man That guy jumping the VW bug RAD real old school no landing ramp all air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

svt_pony,

Those pics are sick! I have seen the first one before. Its a pic that sticks to your mind. Got any info on those pics? I have never seen the bug one before. Now I know why Tone likes it so much. Pure OG!

jk

I copied both of those pics off of this site in years past.

The top one was labeled "VanderTablehop" and just blows me away. I'm looking for a jump... But there isn't one. Just bunny hopped into a tabletop.. Awesome.

This is a great shot of Woody getting sick!

That Vander pic came from the first issue of Freestylin'. What makes it more amazing is I think he is on a Mag Scrambler or some sort of older gusseted Schwinn. Thos are not light bikes.

National "Pedal Sport" Association...



Extreme Old School...

Haaahaaa....damn that wins^^

+1

Yeah everytime I look at that pic it just blows my mind! TIMELESS shot indded. There's a Hawaii rider who would tabletop from just bunnyhopping in the 70's. He would just freak me out when he did it. He is an active vintage member that has the screen name "perfectnut". He posts some of the most amazing OG RAD shots on the all things Hawaiian thread.

Pete,

That last shot you posted! Dang thats the sh_t right there! The good old days when we ran what we got.

Here's a few cool shots...

Medrano


Old School car jump


Rl/Buff


onehand Stu

jive on buffs shoes in that photo of him hopping rl's bike

Here's a goofy shot. Bike probably out weighs the rider.

the one of the wildman is awesome

That photo of Stu is from the Silverdome. They had a pro jumping contest. I remember Harry Leary throwing some killer renditions of his signiture move earning himself the cover of BMXA doing a Leary at the dome.

Early huge air...



Tinker has style...

Good memory! This isn't the cover shot obviously, but from the same event...

Great pics of some true early warriors. Keep them coming guys! Tinker, Stu, Leary, Lyons, all great pics. That early Huge are is just retarded.

Always liked this early tabletop...

Dude jumping the bug is still-supa-fast racer from Rock Springs, Wyoming, Beau Mahaffey -- old friend of bnd's. Style for miles!

Love this pic of Richie. Cop an eyeful of the gearing!



A pic Stu Thomsen posted here once of his own bad self, taken waaaaaay back in the day:

I was thinking about this pic last night for some reason while bouncing around on different BMX websites. I remember staring at that pic when I was a kid. My best bud Rockne even called me up about it BITD. He had just picked up the BMXA and was asking if I saw the pic of Richie Anderson in it.

Thanks for posting it!

jk

Does anybody have the mid-Eighties BMXA full page shot of Mike Miranda jumping out of "the U" on a pink Hutch? I had it on my bedroom wall for years. Or if you can tell me which issue it was in that would be great too.

John Crews/Brent Patterson


The Grubby One

Thats the one! Thanks Brian.

I had this pic on my wall for ages. My fav race pic by far. Thanks to Waza I now have a huge poster of this pic.

Being more of a park rider bitd these two guys shaped the riding I did back then. RIP Jeff.

Heres a few of my favorites...


Trashcan Morgan...

Anybody have a pic of Derek Garcia BITD? Dude could get silly air....

Gest shots guys, but where is Windy's photo of Lund on that monoshock? In a hundred years from now, if you had to explain BMX to someone, that one photo would do it.

Or maybe this one.

STU

Heres one of my buddy Rockne Tang. This was at our favorite place on earth in the 70's - Triangle Park in Palolo Valley on the island of Oahu. Check out the Rubbah Slippaz or as you mainlanders like to call them - flip flops.



jk

That is an amazing pic Jeremy... Too cool.

Someone asked about Windy Osborn's classic pic of Thom Lund on the "Boinger"...



Windy herself...



A couple more of Thom and that famous Wayne King Monoshock (which is currently for sale):



I believe Thom split the frame in half at some point, thus you see the changes like the front triangle that was redone...

I can't believe Thom would ever sell that. No way!

I know Glenn... Crazy huh? I wish I could buy it. BTW, that is a rockin' sticker!

Here's Thom's listing which is still active (one offer as of now):
