This was such aniconic period for GT that just so many people relate to - and to get WD40on board (one of the main sponsors in-period) as well, was the icing on thecake and with their new WD40 bike line the timing was perfect”.
A few sponsors are still to be announced, but we have the support of:CSG/GT Bicycles, Box BMX and Lake Cycling (via Moore Large), WD40Bike, Tioga (via Extra UK), Vans, Thor MX (via Madison), 100% (viaDecade Europe) and RSD who are making our jerseys”. “I’m stoked that we still have support of many

The documentary story of how BMX Supercross became an Olympic discipline.
We are working on a project with Wall 2 Wall freestyle guys on a new history project they are working on. In the next few months they have been gracious enough to hook us up with some unscene footage from some big events in Freestyle history.
This is an awesome look at the behind the scenes of the first street contest. 2-Hip put this together in in Santee Ca. in 1988. You may recognize plenty of riders like Chris Moeller, Eddie Roman, RL Osborn, George Smoot, Craig Grasso, Craig Cambell, Spike Jonze, Ron Wilkerson, Pete Augustin, Dave Vanderspeck, & Dave Voelker.
This was a turning point in BMX and im so excited to be able to share some of this never before seen footage with you!
