Raced against Stu Thompson many times… never beat him

Interesting the names from back then. Turns out the most famous guy there would turn out to be John Tomac in the 15 expert class. Crazy career and now his kid is one of the best motocross racers in history.

I was there!! Racing with Richie Anderson and Deen Neeb!!!

Is this Springfield Ohio?

Is this the track that was built on a landfill and was beside the Fire Station?

I miss commercials that were worth watching

Any chance you have the full version with interviews of each group? I won the 10 girls race. The interview is terribly embarrassing but I’d like a copy.

Damn, those bars and seat posts... also, whats up w the guy who had goggles on his helmet?

The 12 year old EXPERTS look like they were as fast as the pros

Awesome video I was there

Its Clint Miller not Lee Medlin. lol @5:13

Awesome! All legends, and decent quality footage (most you find here from that era suck).

I raced from 1978 to 2012!! Greatest sport in the World!!!

The names in these races are legends. Super cool how every rider would be on a different bike 👍🏼

Rupe FTW!!

It hurts if I touch my crank.. What the...

the betters year´s bmx .... the best times!

I was so young when I started racing in 1982 at 8 years old, I had no idea how crazy fast these guys were, super cool OSF, thanks guys, and stay rad!

Cool. No cruisers on that reel? My and Tim Merritt from Schwinn battled all day.

Wow; Stub Thomsen. I remember that guy.

14:48 John Tomac! Legend in mountain biking and bmx. Also the father of one of the greatest motocross riders ever, Eli Tomac #3

All the legends of the best time of my life are in these races. Roll call of BMX royalty.

I raced BMX from 1973 to 1993. I missed 4 years in the 80's because of high school sports...

Lee Medelin at 5:50 in ? No stupid it is Clint Miller.

Weird question but anybody have a source for the music in this video?

Greg Hill had a BAD Gate!! GT BMX #1!!

I won my 1st National here at this race 14x!! I raced here from 81 til 2012!! Best days of my life racing Bmx!! God bless ABSOLUTELY LOVE WATERFORD OAKS!! MY HOME TRACK!!!

At 13 I could only read about these races in Bmx Action now at 49 I finally witness it on You Tube. Pistol Pete is as good as advertised.

I took 4th in 10 expert class that weekend. I was proud of hat considering you were probably racing the best around the country at that time! I remember how much faster that race was compared to local races! That was 40 years ago for me but remember all the names of the pros , my hero’s at the time 🤘

Yeah, that's the way me and my buds used to race

This was the first ever BMX race I ever saw. Thanks for posting!

Raced BMX from 82 until 87. These guys were my heros back in the day. I still have my copy of Stu Thompson's BMX from the early 80's.

New day bmx racing is more now it’s own sport, 1980 bmx was just a copy of motor cross but on bikes

The golden era of BMX was a fantastic time to be a teen, and racing I loved it.
