Miscellaneous stuff about you: I started racing in upstate NY in 1978. Moved to eastern NY in 1980 and had nothing to do except race 4 times a week. I think I eneded up with some kind of #1 plate in the district for being crazy enough to race so many local races. In 1982, I got a co-sponsorship from mongoose which turned into a full ride in 1983. In 1984 I took home 2 Nat'l #1 plates in the NBL (17&over exp, 18-24 cruiser). Turned 'B' pro in 1985 and moved up to 'A' pro just before the NBL grands (thanks to Bob Tedesco not honoring my protest that I didn't get first place). BMX has given me lots of memories that I will cherish forever.

Your favorite old school ride in your possession: Tim Judge Hutch Pro Racer The Ultimate BMX Bike
Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: I already Have It.
Miscellaneous stuff about you: I started racing in 1981 at an indoor track in Mchigan City Indiana. I was immediately hooked and started practicing and racing 2-3 per week. I raced under the sponsorship of Calumet City Schwinn in Illinois. I turned expert after about 13 months of racing and Hutch picked me up as a Co-Sponsor. That was very cool!! I raced mostly in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan and once in Minnesota. My highest ABA ranking in Indiana was 35 and that's where I finished back in 1984. The local tracks closed down and the nearest one was over 3 hours away, so unfortunately that put an end to my racing. Although recently a sanctioned track opened in Portage, IN which is 20 minutes from my house so my interest is started to rise again. This is a great web site and it brings back alot of great memories. Thanks!!!!!!!

Miscellaneous stuff about you: Raced a little when I was about 12, but do to unsupportive parents and no local track, couldnt race much. When bmx all but died do to that freestyle crap(yes I participated too)I pretty much forgot about bikes. I was too busy chassing girls and power drinking around 1989, the year I graduated high school.Now 12 years later they finally build a bmx track 5 minutes from my house! I bought a new PK Ripper and a Schwinn cruiser and started racing and Finished third in the State of Michigan and was named the 26-30 cruiser State champ and the 28&over 20" State champ. Better late than never I guess. Now I buy and restore the bikes I used to drool over in the bmx mags of my youth. Someday I would like to own my own bike shop.

Basically your prime NorCal bike - just like Brent's. Matter of fact I bought the frame and forks off of Ronnie and Richie Anderson's dad at Vallejo PAL BMX track for $50.

My favorite tracks were McClearen Park, San Francisco(my home track) and Rheem Valley, Lafeyete,Ca. I really miss BMXA. I saved all my issues from no. 1 to about 1982, I have them all.I'd love to go see some racing now maybe do a 24" race. I'd love to meet some old timers and shoot the breeze here in So. Cal.

Travis Blank
Email: TBlank929@aol.com
Birthday: September 29,1975
Favorite Childhood BMX Hero: I have several as far as BMX racing. Eric Rupe, Travis Chipres, and Charles Townsend.For freestyle it would be Eddie Fiola, Martin Apirijo, Brian Blyther. I never was a fan of racing as a little kid. But started racing in 89, and made it to superclass by 93. I love racing now, but a big fan of the old school freestyle as well.
Favorite Modern Day BMX Hero: Well a close friend to me is Matt Pohlkamp, so he is a given. He has worked hard to accomplish what he has. Other than that I coudn't name just one. So many of the pros were always really cool, and always were giving me some parts and helping me out on the track. So it's not fair to just have one. Gary Ellis would be one of my least favorites though.
Occupation: I am a CNC machinist
Family: It's just me and my wife Brandi.
Your favorite Old School ride in your possession: As of right now I have none. I had a Patterson,JMC,Kuwahara,and a race inc. All wich were stolen out my parents garage last year.
Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: I am looking for some for some bikes to buy and restore.
Miscellaneous stuff about you: My name is Travis Blank. I started riding the very first day that my eyes wondered through a BMX Plus mag. I was about 12yrs old. Up till then I was always building jumps out of anything I could find. After that I had bought me a GT pro performer and rode freestyle, then later at about 15 started racing in the NBL and made it to super class in 1993

Family: I live with my girlfriend and my cat.
Your favorite old school ride in your possession: 1999 PK Ripper, 1999 Quadangle
Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: I already have it -- my PK Ripper. I plan to build out my Quadangle to match it.
Miscellaneous stuff about you: I raced BMX and rode freestyle before there was a difference. My friends and I took plywood scraps from construction sites to build jumps and half-pipes. When we could get in, we rode in skateparks. When I started out, "dirt bikes" looked like motorcycles without engines -- and they were just about as heavy. I gave up BMX for almost 15 years, but last year I rediscovered the passion after buying a 24-inch cruiser. Then I saw that Dan’s Comp still had new PK Rippers in stock, and being a former SE-head, I got one while I still could. It took me about eight months to build it part-by-part, but now I have the bike of my dreams. Lots of the Ripper’s parts aren’t old-school (like the rear V-brakes, the non-threaded Landing Gear forks and the stem), but I like these new parts because they’re lighter or work better for me. To continue my obsession, I recently got an aluminum Quadangle frame and Landing Gear forks that have never been ridden. I’m going to salvage as many parts as I can from my cruiser for the Quad, and then slowly build it out to match my Ripper. After that, who knows? In my former life riding BMX (counting backwards), I rode a chrome Patterson (with Z-Rims), a chromoly Quadangle (that originally was red, but I later painted white and then had chrome-plated), a red Torker (that I broke), and a red Schwinn Mag Scrambler -- box-bars, Ashtabula forks and all.

Miscellaneous stuff about you: Started racing around '82 in the western MD area. (Corriganville, Jeffs Freeway BMX in Frostburg, MD) My first bike was a department store special then I saved up enough money to buy a powder blue Thruster Tri Power standrd that a friend had. Raced that for a year then got a sweet '84 GT Pro model that I raced in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Not long after that I made the mistake of trading it for the first yellow GT Performer that came into town. After realizing my mistake, I decided that since I always like the old school Murray team, I'd try to build the bike Scott Clarke had in the Murray test issue of BMx Action. A year later, I had the best handling bike I've ever ridden. I raced it for about three years (never doing well at South Park nations) then hung it up in the garage. A couple of years later I sold it to my cousin and now there is no trace of it. So--, I now trying to get my hands on a chromoly X24 with Bottema forks. If I get them, I'll start racing again.

The 31-35 cruiser class (my class) is consistenly the larges and most competative class at the tracks. Turn outs for the States and Gold cups have been huge. In April 1999 the Goveners cup brought almost 400 riders and over 80 motos to Mollala Oregon for an indoor event. The rate of new rate of new ABA members is increaseing at the local Portland area tracks. Stay tuned to your local seen.

Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: A white Redline RL 20-II with Redline Flights (anybody have one for sale, by chance??)
Miscellaneous stuff about you: I started racing in about '83 and then started freestyling (ramps) in about '86. In late '86 I began skating also. Back in those days, you were considered a poser, a sellout, or both, if you did or claimed to do both (skating and BMX) but...I did it anyway. I was on a local freestyle team in '86 but it folded pretty quickly. Then in '96 the fever came back and I started riding again doing mostly dirt jumping. Does anybody have any info on what RL Osborn is doing nowadays? Thanks and God bless.

Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: Floval Flyer, There was this older kid at the local track with one, it was mint! I don't think that thing was ever dirty. Not that he didn't ride hard, but after a day at the track he went home and cleaned it up. I am currently trying to track him down to see if he still has it. My fingers are crossed!
Miscellaneous stuff about you: I thank god that I grew up when I did, the late 70's and the 80's what a time. There is something special about being part of the birth of BMX. Growing up in Minnesota, BMX didn't really catch on in my small town until about 1984. But thanks to a friend whose dad was on the city council and was tired of driving the 4 hours back and forth to the closest track, there was a track built in our town. It was crazy how many kids were there the first few years. But the track never did get any organized races going and it wasn't long before people started getting hurt and the track was tore down. But the birth of freestyle was just around the corner. Most of the local "racers" put axle pegs and rotors on our bikes and gave that a try. A local kid (Tim H.) formed a freestyle team that performed at area fairs and parades (I think the parade idea came from RAD.) After that came the 90's and the down fall of the hair bands, the end of an era. I never realized how much I missed riding a BMX bike until I satrted again, some of my old friends laugh a little when I tell them that I started racing again, but as soon as they stop laughing they always ask for directions to the track, "just to check it out" I always tell them that you don't need to be a teenager to ride a BMX bike.

Your favorite old school ride in your possession: My SCHWINN
Your dream bike you'd like to have someday: Hutch Trick star
Miscellaneous stuff about you: Glad to have found this site. Brings back a lot of memories for me as I was growing up in a small Wisconsin town. Nobody ever gave BMX much of a chance. A lot of my brother's friends were into it, so if it wasn't for them I would've never been into it. Never had a bike shop in town so I was very limited to what I could buy. The nearest bike shop was over an hour away. So I did the next best thing, mail order from my favorite place, ROCKVILLE BMX from Maryland. Had a HARO freestyler Master during high school. Once out of school I switched my interests to auto racing. So I shipped the HARO down the road. Worst thing I've ever done. Good news is the person I sold it to still has it, or at least they did two years ago. I will be looking for them to see if they still have it. Hope to restore the SCHWINN for my son.

I raced for "Speedo","R&R", "Robinson", "Murray" and "Redline" factories. I was in the BMX movie Rad (#10 Redline rider). Recently the ABA was kind enough to induct me into the BMX Hall of Fame. When I quit racing BMX I went into Speedway motorcycles. I raced at Ascot, Costa Mesa, San Berdoo and Victorville. I made it into the Second Division and won several races. Currently I'm racing cars. I started out in "modified midgets" now I'm racing full scale Midgets. (It's cool you don't have to peddle and you can sit down) If there are any people from the past feel free to E-me !!
