In june 1986 my dad and I visited the 'European Challenge Cup', a major BMX race here in Holland. It was at an amusement park called 'Ponypark Slagharen'. Nearby the track, Ron Wilkerson [Haro] and Martin Apparijo [GT] did some freestyle demo's. There were also a few riders from France.

Really neat Schwinn BMX bike commercial from 1981. I've never seen this one before and found it to be pretty cool. Enjoy!

In 2011, Producer and Director Todd Huffman of "The Motocross Files" acquired reels of lost footage from the 1976 motocross series shot by a young filmmaker from San Diego named Ray Baum. The footage had never been edited into anything so after transferring thousands of feet of film into a digital format, hidden in all the wonderful motocross footage was six minutes from this BMX race.
BMX is a Bicycle Motocross Racing documentary I made in 1977 while attending film school at San Francisco State University. My father was a bicycle racer in the 1940's, and opened a bicycle shop in Pleasant Hill, CA in the 1960's. He promoted any kind of bicycle racing and in the 1970's, sponsored a BMX team. Most of the film was shot at Merritt College in Oakland. The music track is original music, performed by myself and some friends. Monument Cyclery was a great, creative environment, encouraging and producing some great artisans in varied creative careers...and Me? Still producing films!
