About this user

Welcome to the BMX Documentary channel!

The BMX documentary, "How We Roll" covers the American history of the sport of BMX racing dating back to the early 1970s.

This channel is dedicated to the early years of bicycle motocross racing. It offers a glimpse of early organized 20" off-road bicycle racing from its modest origins beginning on the steep downhill tracks in California and spreading to the flat dirt tracks across the nation.

The documentary (currently in production) covers the development of competitive BMX racing in the U.S. with a focus on the formation of the National Bicycle Association. The video features interviews with pioneers of the sport as well as coverage of pivotal events that helped shape its early form.

My sincerest gratitude goes out to the following pioneers and supporters of BMX racing for their unending generosity, support, hospitality, and the contribution of their time, treasure, and talent dedicated to helping make this project become a reality!
