BMX International Aust

BMX is our passion and for 40 years it has been our total existence.  

In 1976 Scott Shepherd and his mates started to ride their Dragsters on an unused block of land near his father’s car yard.  The boys got ideas about jumping, racing and doing tricks from the pictures they saw in magazines from America where BMX had already begun.
In 1977 Blair Shepherd – (Scott’s Father - Brisbane Businessman / Entrepreneur / Speedcar Driver) saw his son’s enthusiasm for this new sport and his business eye saw the potential of something bigger.  This is when the proper BMX track - The “Youth Cycle Centre was born” later changing it’s name to “Windsor BMX Track” –  Qld’s first official BMX Track.
1978 Blair took his family on a trip to USA – resulting in a chance meeting with Howie Cohen (Everything Bicycles), Linn Kastan (Redline), Skip Hess Snr (Mongoose) and Chuck Raudman (Skyway).  Through these meetings Blair decided that perhaps BMX bikes and parts could be a business – not just a sport.
