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: 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: BMX began during the early '70s as kids inspired by motocross racers began racing their bicycles on dirt tracks in southern California. In 1974, the National Bicycle League formed as a BMX sanctioning organization and regular organized races began to come together. As BMX racing began to reach a fever pitch, Bob Osborn and Wizard Publications launched Bicycle Motocross Action Magazine in 1976. The new mag would quickly become known as the BMX bible, tracking the races, points, events, riders, and of course, the latest in BMX bikes and equipment. The name was changed to BMX Action in 1982 and the publication continued to run until 1989 at which point it was combined with Freestylin' Magazine to become 'Go' which ran until 1992.
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: 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: 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: Founded in 1963, Skyway Recreation is without question one of the original innovators in BMX racing, and aside from their composite wheels, they're probably best remembered for producing one of the first BMX freestyle teams. The team toured seemingly non-stop, putting on expositions and demos at just about every bike shop and shopping mall in America (and beyond), all in promotion of their cutting edge freestyle products and complete bikes.

Description: BMX Bandits is a 1983 Australian action film about three teenagers who discover a stash of walkie-talkies, and decide to make a quick buck by selling them. Unfortunately, the equipment belongs to a gang of hardened criminals who need them for their next job, and will do anything to get them back. The film was initially released as Short Wave in the United States, but would regain it's BMX Bandits title when it made its way to home video.
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.
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: Super BMX Magazine evolved from the awkwardly named '70s publication, 'Minicycle/BMX Action' and was always considered an alternative to the mainstream BMX publications on the market. It ran from 1980 until 1988 and in its final years, changed names again to Super BMX & Freestyle and split their coverage of traditional BMX and the increasingly popular freestyle BMX.
