What BMX Was Like In 1979

April 4, 2018

If you have wondered what BMX was like in 1979, this BMX video will answer a few questions…

It’s always interesting seeing the difference of BMX in the past versus what it’s like today. Virtually everything has changed from the bikes and clothes to the tricks and styles. One thing that has stayed the same is that it’s a whole lot of fun. We had this video sent over featuring the Plainwell crew riding back in 1979 at the track, some trails and a few questionable ramp setups to jump over things like cars. It features a few names you might know like Stompin’ Stu Thomsen or Scott Towne, and a few names you might not recognize. Either way, this is pretty interesting to check out!

“Super 8 Movie BMX footage from 1979, with Plainwell BMX locals: Larry & Ted Lowis, Scott Towne, Jeff Bragington, Ben Lyon. Star cameos by Stu Thomsen, Turnell Henry and the wheelie king, the late Doug Domokos.” – Scott Towne
