You can find ANYTHING on the internet. Apparently - I didn't know this - BMX was invented by a motocross racer in Long Beach in 1970. He even refers to being an Evel Kneivel-style daredevil in this article, though I have no way of knowing if he was the loon jumping cars. But it does explain a guy on a "BMX-looking bike" doing something insane in Long Beach when I was a kid. So there ya go!
PS. I rode my Sting-Ray on the lot mentioned here. I didn't know it was the first BMX track. https://signaltribunenewspaper.com/8260/sports/from-lb-dirt-lot-to-the-olympics-bicycle-motocross-celebrating-its-40th/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
