Re-Up; Preserving BMX History. Episode 59: Toby Henderson (USA)
Name: Toby Henderson
Started riding in: 1972
Teams represented: DG, Raleigh, Hutch, SE, GT, Iron Horse.
Was pretty much everyone on a Stingray when they raced Bicycle Motocross at BUMS in 1973?
Toby Henderson: I know I was on one. The rest of the guys... I'm sure there were some Huffy's on the field :)
At age 12, was the Stingray actually a perfect fit for you?
Toby Henderson: I didn't know better, but it handled everything better than any other bike I rode at that time. It was funny you asked because I was the first one to get a Schwinn Scrambler/prototype, a straight tube version of the Stringray. The head tube was so slacked out, it was almost unrideable. Not sure if they ever fixed that as I went on to ride for DG later on.
Did you do many of the downhill BMX races when they were around?
Toby Henderson: Yes, I remember one in San Diego where I crashed really hard. On the Yarnell track, I was scared to death just to go out of the starting gate.
How many bikes would break at a race like that?
A collection of footage shot over a week and a half in early February 2024. Shot entirely in North Carolina. Luckily winter here is super mild, but it feels like it's dragging forever this year. Shooting this video was a nice excuse to get out and battle the remaining days of early sunsets.

Name: Mickael Clerté
Hometown: Gujan Mestras, France
Started riding BMX in: 1985
Number of bikes in the collection: 18
Do you remember the moment that you decided to start collecting BMX memorabilia?
Mickael Clerté: Yes around 2010, hearing about more and more BMX old school reunions.
Who were the first people you came across that helped you out to find the stuff you needed?
Mickael Clerté: My old friend from TOURS, Eric Pontoizeau. This guy is one of the first French who start to collecting.
Do you feel there is a need for BMX products to survive for history's sake?
Mickael Clerté: Yes sure.
Did you get to keep all your bikes when you were part of sponsored teams?
Mickael Clerté: No never, always need to sell those bikes to pay BMX travels, races…I wish I could but not.
