The National BMX Hall of Fame has just announced the Final-5 nominees for this year's Hall of Fame voting. After receiving hundreds of public nominations since January, the Hall of Fame committees have narrowed it down to the final five nominees. From here, a group of over 500 people (made up of previous Hall of Famers, BMX historians and Industry vets) will vote to decide on the final Inductees will be. This years' Inductees will be announced on July 1st. While making it this far is a huge acknowledgement in itself, one lucky BMX legend in each of the five categories (Pioneer, Racer, Industry, Freestyle and Woman).
The National BMX Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for Saturday evening, September 27th - in front of the Olympic flame, at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. The festivities take place following the UCi Supercross World Cup finals,

Covers are a big deal. Getting one is awesome. Selling a magazine to newcomers relies on the cover shot most of the time. #188 graces Brad McNicol doing a giant transfer on big concrete quarters somewhere in Spain. But the horizontal photo shows a small Brad. It's a good thing that BMX is written on the front page. But enough about the cover. Here's what's inside:-Steve Crandall interview
-Brad McNicol in Valencia, Spain
-Train Trip with a bunch of BMX-ers
-Kink Bikes in Mexico
-Bob Manchester in SoCal before the fires
-It's the road trip style of life issue.
Out before June. Get a copy to read something on your next trip.
