The episode features a conversation with Dr. J discussing various aspects of BMX racing and the bike industry.
Catching up with Dr. J for a conversation covering everything from the Sea Otter Classic and the bike industry show to some bigger questions around the BMX race scene, who’s really driving it, and a few thoughts on the gatekeepers. With Chula Vista closing down, we also talk about how Southern California still feels like a dream location for a BMX World Championship that never quite happened. We get into the Pro Series season getting underway, the Australian National Titles, and the U23 category. We also touch on BMX Mania and Jerry Landrum’s contribution to BMX media, Alan Foster and the Schwinn American Muscle video, Transit, and a new batch of VHS footage making its way online to BMX Weekly. Plus Dirty Fest, LA 2028 Olympics, and plenty more.
