2-Hip King of Street Wall Ride

PHOTO ©Brad Fanshaw

This was shot at the 2-Hip K.O.S. near San Diego about 1986. Wilkerson piled a bunch of dirt against the back wall of the shopping center and everyone went crazy. Every major rider from the day was at the event and in true 80's fashion Vision Street Wear made the mark and outfitted the riders.

If anyone knows who this rider is I would love to identify him? I am guessing it could be Brian Blyther?
UPDATE: STRIKE at vintagebmx.com helped us identify the rider in the picture as Craig Campbell...thanks!

Mike King Vintage Team Huffy BMX Team Photo Shoot

PHOTO © Brad Fanshaw

It was big news when Huffy got back into bmx racing in the mid 1980's and the team was a powerhouse! They signed Stu Thomsen, Mike King and Shawn Carmody, a team that was ready to dominate bmx racing.

I was able to gather the guys for a quick photoshoot to promote Huffy BMX during the ABA Mile High Nationals outside of Denver, Colorado. Since we were at an event we didn't have much time and we had nothing but a dirt lot to ride. Other than the static team shots with team manager Bob Hadley I was able to get some berm busting action of Mike King.

The photo is another from the fill-flash motion blur era of photography, a killer shot! This is certainly a team that is vintage bmx and deserves to be part of the bmxretro blog.

Ron Wilkerson's 2-Hip King of Vert 1988 Austin, Texas

PHOTO ©Brad Fanshaw 1988-2009

I don't know who the rider, but this is Austin, Texas 1988. What I like is the ramp built lakeside and the laid back casual ramp session attitude. The guy riding is "hanging-it-out" while everyone is just hanging out.

The rider is sharp and crisp while the ramp and spectators are in soft focus. This photos shouts early BMX vert competition.
