Through first-hand accounts, along with dozens of restored photos from our catalogue, you’ll learn about Nebraska’s first BMX tracks and the racing pioneers who rode them. I’ll share my own memories and stories, along with others who were there to experience the action.
Produced in 2010 for the Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame, with commentary from Brad Fanshaw, Chris Heyden, Doug Olson, Rex Reason and myself, this video tells the story of those early days of bicycle motocross in Nebraska.
So, sit back, relax and enjoy the video.
