2nd
Annual "Rockford of the West" Vintage
BMX Meet
The 2nd Annual "Rockford of the West" Vintage
Meet just took place last weekend – in conjunction
with the ABA Nor Cal Nationals. Held at Oak Creek BMX track
in Roseville, CA., we had 122 Vintage Bikes on display,
courtesy of 32 individual West Coast E-Bay addicted collectors.
Throughout
the day, spectators and collectors walked down memory
lane, and got to vote for their favorite BMX bikes in
8 categories:
- Best
Monoshock
- Best
70’s Bike
- Best
80’s Bike
-
Best Pit Bike
- Best
24” Cruiser
- Best
26” Cruiser
- Best
Freestyler
- Best
of Show.
Custom
golden Flight Crank awards from REDLINE were handed out
Academy Award-style later that night at PATRIOT BIKES
in Fair Oaks, CA.
Meanwhile,
on the BMX track, it was “Clash of the Dinosaurs
– Round 2,” with a record-making 17 sidehacks
showing up … including the “WASP 11” hack
piloted by the Godfather of Sidehacks; Dennis Dain (Remember
– Dain for Hall of Fame ’07!) and Rick “Reilly-1”
Gayton. The Hack race was won by Phantom-OnTrac’s
young guns of Nic Long and Rusty Nesvig.
Dennis
at BMXweb.com just posted up all of his pics from the
event. For some great photos, go to: http://bmxweb.com/vintagebmx/
Great
pics of the Vintage bikes, Hack racing and modern day
BMX action! Thanks, Dennis!
Results
from the 2nd Annual Meet are below. Thanks to all who
showed up – we’re already looking forward to
doing it again next year!
