Bmx Socks
Description: Before there was Torker BMX, there was a small family-owned and operated a company called Texon, run out of a garage in Anaheim Hills, California. Founded in 1975, the company was set up to design and build BMX racing frames. The following year, the company was renamed Johnson Engineering, and by year-end, it was renamed again, to Torker. The Johnson Engineering name was still attached for many years, most often in ads and on the head tube decals, but would eventually be phased out altogether as Torker BMX became a major player in high end BMX race bikes.
Description: If you were a BMX rider in the '80s, you probably recall Rockville BMX. Based in Rockville, Maryland, even if you weren't a local or even a north easterner, you definitely saw their ads in every major BMX magazine, and probably even sent away for their catalogs. Whether you were into freestyle, dirt jumpers, or traditional racers, Rockville BMX had you covered. In addition to their general catalogs, Rockville also published several dedicated catalogs for most manufacturers, as well as some for the aforementioned styles of BMX. The shop hosted countless trick shows and exhibitions in their parking lot, and being a well known national mail order operation, took the show on the road as well.
Description: Aero BMX began making racing gear for BMX riders back in 1979 and quickly became known for their premium apparel, often working as a supplier of many factory team uniforms. While pants and jerseys may have been Aero's bread and butter, they went on to manufacture some other accessories for BMXers. From pads and seats to number plates and mag wheels, Aero built up a pretty decent catalog over the years.
Description: Chuck Robinson started Robinson Racing in the mid-'70s. He had worked for DG, Webco, and LRV, among others and decided to start his own line of BMX bikes after working to build the brands he worked for. Chuck always had his bikes fabricated by third-party sources and was underfunded, so he was never able to run consistent advertisements in the magazines. He did what he could with the budget he had and was a big promoter of BMX racing and is credited for his role in taking the sport to new levels. In the early days, he made smaller frames for the younger kids and then went into the production of larger bikes.

Description: Dyno was a BMX company founded in 1982, focusing on apparel and accessories, and eventually making their own bikes. In '88, the new catalog came out, but one bike stood out from the crowd - a Pro Compe Team with Dave Voelker kneeling behind it. By the time new models hit shops, the Pro Compe Team didn't look like the one in the catalog as several parts were swapped out, but the most significant change was that the cool graffiti decals never made it to production bikes. The unicorn bike was truly one-of-a-kind, becoming known as the 'Catalog Voelker-Build.' Over the years, many Dyno fans have recreated the iconic freestyler, including their own graffiti style graphics which were the inspiration for the design we have here.
Description: Good old 4130 Cromoly was the trademark of the late 70's, 80's and 90's BMX frames and components as some were made from normal or mild steel, so the mark of 4130 CroMo meant that you were getting something a bit more special. This is not a specific design rather just something created to look cool. This design features a "Distressed" effect, meaning it looks old and worn. ;)
