–Robert Plant, singing about the 25 year gap between Retro Rag 2 and 3.
Twas the Summer of ‘97 when we’d last used up an entire ink cartridge inside the ABA xerox machine; utilizing a ream of Legal paper at no charge. After the roaring success of the first Retro Rag in 1996, it had taken seven months to assemble Retro Rag 2. In that time, we’d also received our first subscription - from the Mighty Wizard himself, Bob Osborn - enclosing a crisp $20 bill with a short note of encouragement. “I think you’re on to something,” he wrote. It wasn’t long after RR2 that the World Wide Web came along, with old school BMX sites taking over all things Vintage …and there was no longer time to do a xerox’ed ‘Zine inbetween browsing thru the latest lies and controversy in the VintageBMX.com forums.
Until now.
In February of 2022, a dream that BA Anderson had back in 1998, finally became a reality. His vision was for a new ABA headquarters, complete with a roofed arena “about the size of Reno,” along with a BMX Museum for the fans, as well as a gym for the riders. It’d taken nearly seven years since the citizens of Tulsa voted “Yes” to this project, but we were finally able to cut the ribbon and open its doors.
The BMX Hall of Fame & Museum is a key element to this multi-million dollar facility and it was created to attract non-BMX people as well as BMX fanatics, as well as getting busloads of Tulsa school kids walking around it each week during their STEM-inspired field trip. Thus, we thought it’d be perfect timing for the triumphant return of the legendary RETRO Rag! Thanks to digital online publishing via Issuu.com, and with so many Vintage shows and swap meets happening all across the country - it’s long been overdue for a comeback. *WeevenhaveaCOLORXeroxmachinenow!! …but don’t worry. We’ll still print up a buncha copies and staple ‘em together, old school-style. But there will only be one place to pick one up. ... and I think you can guess where that will be.

After jumping thru many legal hula-hoops, Supercross owner Bill Ryan has prevailed with this aquisition of the Torker trademark - and has already began early promotions of the twin-top-tube revival with their consumer-direct website and FB page. Torker fanatic David Ramey, from Oklahoma, is helping Bill with the promotions of this modern-day Torker revival. If you go to: torkerracing.com, you might also notice that they’ll be bringing back MAX race pants, too! How about some MAX gators while we’re at it?
Ever heard of the Redline Shirt Company?
(No relation to Redline Bikes). They are a subscription-based clothing company that creates the golden era of drag racing. Well, twice they have put out a T-shirt honoring Mongoose founder (and BMX HoFer) Skip Hess’ hopped-up Anglia. Cool - eh? For more, go to: redlineshirtclub.com
Their goal? “ToliterallyNUKEthelast20-plusyears ofTORKERhistoryfromexistenceandbringback whatTorkerstoodfor,” is stated on their website.
HoF contender BOBBY WOODS, owner of Studio City Bicycles, has recently started up another shop - Adventure e-bike Co., specializing in all Electric Bikes. If you’re going to go Electric, might as well buy one from a BMX legend - right?
No.1 SIDEHACK TEAM in the UNIVERSE!
After qualifying for the big show at the Hardesty BMX Stadium, eight sidehack teams were able to compete at the 2023 Grands - in an “A” main and runner-up “B.” In the end, Seth Buwe and Clark Dufrene III of Gretna BMX in Louisiana were crowned the Intergalactic Champions.
BMX Hall of Famer Toby Henderson has started up yet another BMX brand. “I promise,” he told us, “this will be my last one.” The founder of T.H.E., Sinz and Box Components has recently broken ties with the Race Inc. revival, and introduced is own SYNDYT brand of bikes at Grands. The new race bikes are state of the art and he’s even coming out with a line of Electric BMX 20”ers.
CANADA’s BMX Hall of Fame
Canada’s biggest voice on their BMX scene - Kevin O’Brien, has just announced that it’s time for Canada to have their own BMX Hall of Fame ...and that the best time to hold it would be timing it with the BMX Canada national in Langley, BC. on Saturday August 3rd. Check out their facebook page for more details on noinations and inductees.

Many, many year ago, Hall of Famer and longtime industry employee Travis Chipres, told us that somewhere in his storage piles, he has Chuck Robinson’s personal collection of BMX photos. Evidentally, a few days before Chuck committed suicide, he dropped off a box full of B&W and color slides at Travis’ house. While a few of these have been seen in Robinson ads, the majority have never been seen before ... until NOW.
Special thanks to Travis Chipres, for holding on to these images for decades- and for donating them to the BMX Hall of Fame & Museum.
CHUCK the PHOTOGRAPHER
From his early days as team manager for Webco, DG and LRV, before founding his own company - Robinson Racing Products, Chuck began documenting our sport with his camera. His recently found archive of B&W shots from 1977 to 1983 can now be seen at: photos.usabmx.com/ chuckrobinson

When you look at the wide range of Robinson riders over the years, there are plenty of greats who got their start in the red, white and blue. From Bobby Woods to Gary Ellis, Scott Clark to Travis Chipres, Mark Wegner to Jeff Ruminer, or Gary Renteria and Rory Ingano, including hoardes of No.1 riders in their States, Chuck knew how to pick ‘em.

CEREMONY
The Class of 2023 was another great one (as if there is ever a bad one; right?)
Sadly, we had three Inductees no longer with us (Vander, Renny and Redman). Imagine how much cooler it could’ve been to hear those three say their own speeches? But their posthumous acceptors did a great job filling in.
For many of us, the induction of Stanley Robinson - the inventor of the 2-pedal start, was long overdue. It was awesome to see him get the honor and respect he so deserved.
All eight indcutees in the Class of 2023 are prime examples of what BMX Excellence is all about. If you missed it, you can always re-watch it on USA BMX’s YouTube channel.
“He had a giant voice and an even bigger personality. (He) was an encylopedia of BMX knowledge and history. He elevated every race he announced.”
“I showed up at the BMX track on my birthday - seven years old, and I fell in love.”
RENNY ROKER (accepted by Kelly Roker)
“He was a visionary. And his vision was very colorful. He even had a pair of chrome Jox-Jag shoes! He was relentless and that is what got us here today.”
ALICE BIXLER (Lifetime Achievement)
“The ladies cruiser classes got started because we first did it with our program.”
MIKE REDMAN (accepted by Richard Huvard)
BUBBA HARRIS (Racer Inductee)
STANLEY ROBINSON (Early Racer Inductee)
“This is breath-taking. To see how far this sport has went. To see Grands have over 900 motos - and all of those riders still doing the 2-pedal start.”
DAVE VANDERSPEK (accepted by Maurice Meyer)
“Dave was encouragable. He was that guy. For real, he’d be up there hanging from the rafters if he were with us today.”
RYAN NYQUIST (Freestyle Inductee)
“I absolutely, 100 percent, have to thank Bar Spins. Because without bar-spins, I probably wouldn’t be here today. You’ve made me a lot of money, so thank you!”
GALE WEBB (Woman Inductee)
“Parents, moms and dads - kids too, get out there and try to do the things that make you feel good about yourself.”
By far, the most legendary BMX track of them all - still to this day - if you ask me.
The infamous Corona Raceway!
Here, JMC’s Kim Jarboe (#32) leads a pack of hungry BMX heavy-hitters.
While the whereabouts of Jarboe are likely unknown, Raleigh’s Toby Henderson (#192) is still doing the BMX thing as founder and owner of BOX Components and the new SYNDYT bike brand.
Over to the right we have Jag’s Turnell Henry (#232), who is also still invloved in the sport today as both a track operator, BMX coach, team manager and still a NAG-contending racer.
While we may never see another gnarly downhill track like Corona, it’s good to know that it bred racers who will never be forgotten.

I feel fortunate to have attended the 2nd Annual USA BMX Vintage National and Bike Show,Hall of Fame Reception and 2023 Induction Ceremony. I hadn’t been to a HOF ceremony since 2007 and was looking forward to being at the new USA BMX headquarters in Tulsa, and getting a chance to tour their museum. This turned out to be another amazing highlight of my year, and will be an event to remember!
SATURDAY: VINTAGE NATIONALS
Knowing this race was going to be on a concrete parking lot with wooden jumps, I was 50/50 on whether I would actually sign up to race. The last time I raced a track on concrete was likely 1982. This 61 year old body and concrete crashes did not seem like a good combo. But after a few “test” laps I decided I would race, keeping in mind that I would take it easy and ride at 70-80% speed over the first two jumps. The event was scaled back to just two motos with total points added up for a final finish. Racing two classes (Cruiser and Suspension) would mean only four laps.
Cruiser was up first, so I took it easy and finished second behind Tim Shaffer, who was going very fast on this track, attacking the first two jumps at full speed, as if he were
Connecticut’s Crit Plate lifer Mike Savage (#516) is out to be the King of Vintage events.
16 years old. Racing with Texas HoF’ers Rusty Roberts and Tim Shaffer is always a win regardless of who crosses the finish line in first. In my first Suspension moto I followed Mike Savage around the track with Anthony Chambers finishing behind me in third. For the second and final Cruiser moto I dialed it up a notch with a holeshot and hit the first two jumps with more speed, only to get passed by Tim Shaffer in turn one. Still, I was feeling faster on the track. I was on the podium with second place in Cruiser. Feeling more comfortable over those first two jumps, I decided
to let it all hang out in the second and final Suspension moto. I hit those jumps at speed with Anthony and Mike so close enough behind that I could see them on each side of me through the long, first turn sweeper and over the water jump. I held the lead through the tight, left-hand turn two and down the third straight, but bobbled my pedals enough for Anthony to come along side me. Savage was watching the whole time and saw a line around us and took it. I’d gone from first to third in a blink of an eye. I pedaled everywhere I could through the long turn three sweeper, took an “outside-inside”
line in the final turn and pulled back up alongside Anthony on the final straight. It would have been a photo finish for second place at the line, except for the fact that I had no room to fit on the final wooden roller jump! These jumps were not wide enough for three riders and Anthony rode as far left on the jump as possible! So, I was automatically given third place for missing an obstacle. I was happy to be on the podium with the Crit Plate cult hero and Anthony ..again. People were talking about this race as the highlight of the weekend. That’s a cool factor you don’t get every time!
Former editor of ABA Action, Tim Lillithorup (#4) leads cruiser, but Tim Schaefer (#2) has his eye on the prize.
You can tell how fun it was by the smile on Anthony Chamber’s face.
From a bike mechanic’s perspective, I was proud that both of my Huffy Monoshocks were leading a moto, and this time the chains did not fall off like they did at Frogtown!
HALL OF FAME & MUSEUM
The National BMX Hall of Fame and Museum has been open less than two years, and yet this was my first trip down to Tulsa to see it in person. While the photos are
impressive in their own right, seeing it in person is an awe-inspiring experience. You can feel the BMX history in the air. It’s a feeling I’ll never forget, especially with Hall of Famers and friends by the score to experience this with. The displays are very well done with rare BMX bikes and memorabilia surrounding you. gOrk gave us a tour of his office and archive room including some photos of myself from my
early 1980’s ABA days along with photos I had taken while Editor of ABA Action. Shannon led us on a tour of the offices and gym, leading us to the balcony overlooking the state-of-the-art covered arena and modern track. Thanks to USA BMX for their hospitality.

room in a downtown hotel to a grand event with a red carpet entrance, large screen, beautifully decorated tables and a live webcast. Staging this under the same covered arena as the track was a really nice touch. Congratulations to inductees Stanley Robinson, Bubba Harris, Renny Roker, Gale Webb, Dave Vanderspek, Ryan Nyquist, Mike Redman and Alice Bixler. Renny and Mike’s inductions are bittersweet as they both passed away this year. The contributions they both made to our sport, along with positive impressions they made on so many thousands of kid’s lives is worth celebrating for all time.
“Redline” Robert Lane invited our Nebraska crew of Greg Grubbs, Joe Baumert, Anthony Chambers and I to sit with him at one of his Sponsor tables. He was an amazing host for us and has become a great friend.
SUNDAY: RIDE-OUT
A bunch of us met up again Sunday morning for the final
stage of events. This was a casual ride out around T-Town and the downtown Tulsa area, with a featured first stop at the Outsiders House Museum. The Curtis brothers, Darry, Sodapop and Ponyboy lived in this very same house in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 classic film The Outsiders. Touring museums is a hobby of mine so this ride out was amazing. We also went to a downtown museum where scenes from the movie Rumble Fish were filmed. We needed to leave the ride early to make the seven hour drive back to Omaha, so when Stanley Robinson got a flat tire, we followed his entourage back to the museum parking lot. Great riding with you all, including new HoF’er Stanley Robinson – the inventor of the two pedal start! Tuesday night this week I watched The Outsiders again after many years. Great movie. Stay Gold all you vintage BMX and ride out people!
Texan Tim Schaefer carted home the hardware in both racing and the bike show.
BEST of SHOWS
Thanks to Tommy Montgomery of the M.O.T.O.S. Group for hosting another great Grands show! Along with Bill Nicholson,
has made the Grands Show one of the best around with the largest crowd of BMX fanatics ever.
This years BEST OF SHOW went to Curtis Witt and his 1978 Torker LP. Curt will get his name engraved on the “Best of Show” Cash Matthews trophy (which has just about run out of room for listing future winners).

USA BMX VINTAGE BIKE SHOW
Choosing the Best of Show is always one of the toughest decisions for judges - so, for this year’s Vintage Show held at the USA BMX HQ, we left it up to the publlic to votewhich helps encourage spectators to get more involved and looking at details of these builds.
For the “experts” and HoF’ers in the attendance, they got a special ticket which counted as 5 points toward “Best in Show.”
Tallying them up was as close a race as the 2nd moto of the Suspension class; with Rob Lane’s Byron Friday replica giving the Don Johle Robinson a super tight battle. But in the end, by a mere 2 points, Tim Schafer - owner of Factory Robinson ride of the late Don Johle, took top honors.
