Name: Trevor Henry
Hometown: West London UK
What's your earliest memory of BMX?
Trevor Henry: Watching Craig Strong doing no handed wheelie’s on TV and then seeing my friends trying to the same on Grifters and Choppers, but complaining about how heavy they were. Then E.T. came out and everybody ditched their Choppers for Burners, PK Rippers, Ammaco’s and DP Firebirds. It’s like a wave hit the London overnight… one day it was Rubik’s cubes and monkey boots then the next day it was BMX’s Breakdancing and Electro Hop music.
Who were some of the BMX riders that you admired back in the day?
Name: Jonathan Sherwood
Hometown: Durban (South Africa), now living Durham (UK).
Started riding BMX in: Had a BMX from a very young age but only properly discovered BMX in 1992.
Number of BMX bikes in your collection: 35 completes, 14 frames, and a whole lot of random parts and race gear.
Being from South Africa originally, what were popular BMX brands when you started?
Jonathan Sherwood: BMX was huge in SA in the 80's, so all of the major brands from that era were popular (GT, Mongoose, Kuwahara, Hutch, Patterson, etc). In the 90's however there were absolutely no BMX bikes for sale in SA, so you could only get bikes from mail order stores like Dans Comp, ACE, and

BMX Lewis Mills 2021 new edit bytiM Production
Tyler Shaw, Clay Cain and myself finally punched the gas on making a trip to California to see our sisters and cousins. We rented a van that was our home for a week and a half making stops at so many cool skateparks not even making a dent in how much there is to ride in between Texas and the West coast.
The New Templar frames came in and Oscar Ruiz, Mike Rose and Montana Ricky took them for a test run. Here are a few clips of them at the Merritt Warehouse. For more info on the frames check out.
