Looking for a break for the long lines at the mall and last minute holiday shopping? This Saturday at “Da Compound” BMX park in Perris, CA there will be an 80’s themed freestyle jam hosting some serious fun and a flash back to the way BMX freestyle used to be. This is an event that has really been made possible because of the efforts by
Randy Lawrence who competed in some of the first A.F.A. events in the 80’s, was
Jeremy McGrath’s mechanic during his reign as the “King of Supercross” and is now a physical trainer to the top riders in Motocross and Supercross.
“I grew up in a family that raced motocross, but one day I picked up a BMX Action magazine and RL Osborn was on the cover with some white Tuff wheels and I thought, man that looks cool! Growing up with the OG’s of freestyle everyone rode flatland, then it was flatland and ramps and now days there is flat, ramp, street, dirt, vert and all different cliques of the sport. It seems like today’s BMX is missing some of the fun we had back in the day and I wanted to bring that back.”
