Bicycle Motocross Action Magazine sticker

Bicycle Motocross Action was probably the most influencial magazine in the early days of BMX. Bob Osborn was part of the sport since the very early days. Throughout the years BMXA made a number of different styles of stickers, this one was from the early 1980's. The sticker is black ink on brushed metal sticker material.

Original MotoMag Frame Sticker- BMX Products


One of the original BMX manufacturers BMX Products was founded by Skip Hess, an old drag racer. When Skip started the company he took some knowledge from the drag racing industry. Drag cars and muscle cars already had plenty of cast aluminum wheels, Skip made them for us BMXers!

The original BMX mag wheel was the MotoMag and these first stickers were a two-sided sandwich that wrapped around the downtube of your bmx frame.

BMX Plus Magazine California License Plate Sticker

California has always held a magical place in every ones mind and that famous California license plate with either the black and gold or blue and gold was special. BMX Plus! Magazine was part of and still is part of publisher Daisy-Hi-Torque, known for titles like Dirt Bike and Motocross Action.

When this super rare sticker came out it was a keeper.

Hutch BMX Action Trick Team - Mike Buff Sticker

It was the early 1980's and BMX Action was at the height of its popularity. Hutch was the premium standard in BMX technology. Ask yourself, what kid didn't want to be on the BMX Action Trick Team or at least see them show up at the local shop?

When R.L. Osborn and Mike Buff weren't out in California jumping over Porsches, eatin' tacos or testing the latest bmx gear the were doing stunt shows. At the end of the show they would throw out stickers to the crowd, yep like the one above.

Haro Designs Neon Tube BMX Sticker

Bob Haro came on the scene in the 1970's drawing the fantasies of us all, lifted Toyota 4x4's, trick bmx bikes and the big race. Haro's cartoonish drawings appeared in Bicycle Motocross Action and he became famous to every bmxer.

When he financed his racing by making custom number plates on summer tour it was just the beginning. By the time this neon tube sticker became available he had a super successful line of number plates and those nifty two finger plastic brake levers. His bike frames were yet to be realized.
