Vintage Bmx Socks
Description: DG Racing was started out as a motorcycle parts company, taking its name from founders, Dan and Gary. Gary's son Kevin was both into competitive MX and BMX racing, so DG also got into BMX in 1975. In 1976 they hired Chuck Robinson (later of Robinson Racing) to run the BMX team and help design their bikes, which were produced through 1981. DG Racing had never stopped producing MX products and continued to do so after their foray into the world of BMX and to this day, their bikes remain highly sought after by collectors.
Description: Founded in 1978, BMX Plus! Magazine is the longest running BMX publication the world has ever known. They were there as BMX racing was born until their final issue in 2015 making it 37 years straight without missing a single issue. While that alone is impressive, especially making it so far in the internet age for what is without question a niche market while maintaining their consistent quality throughout is truly an accomplishment all involved should be proud of.
Description: Torker BMX existed between 1976 and 1984 during which time they handcrafted some of the best BMX frames ever made. Prior to Torker, the company was run by John Johnson, Steve Johnson's dad. The first Torker frame design was actually introduced by Steve Rink of Peddlepower Cycles as John's son, Doug, wanted a lighter frame to race with in 1975. Steve Rink and John Johnson had the first frame built under the Texon name.
Description: DYNO was a BMX bike and bike products company started by Bob Morales in 1982. DYNO’s first products were BMX racing apparel and number plates and DYNO gear was used and endorsed by many top BMX and Freestyle riders and teams, including; GT Bicycles, SE Racing, Auburn Cycles, Robinson Racing, and Team Powerlite. Riders included Eddie Fiola, Mike Dominguez, Greg Hill, Gary Ellis, and many others. In 1985 Bob Morales said “GT Bicycles made an offer to buy Dyno. I accepted their offer because Dyno was severely undercapitalized and in need of investment. I negotiated a contract with GT to design bicycle frames and components and to consult on a marketing strategy for them.” Morales developed a line of DYNO frames and bicycles for GT.
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: CW was a highly competitive force throughout BMX's heyday and was definitely one of the more innovative manufacturers with a long line of unique frames and features that kept them out front. CW stood for Custom Works, although because the founder also owned Coast Wheels bike shop, a lot of people thought it stood for Coast Wheels, but it never did.
