BMX Weekly podcast with Paul Roberts. We kick things off talking about BMX magazines, then get into some mid-’80s talk, including rider Solan Foster and the ’80s Huffy team Mike King, Brent Romero and Gary Ellis. We also touch on the 1985 IBMXF Whistler Worlds, some terrible TV announcers, and the irritating fake Brad Simms on Facebook.
From there, we reflect on the sad news of UGP’s Ronnie Bonner passing. We share our first memories of meeting Ronnie back in 1990 when we came over to the University of BMX training camp in Orlando. It was the first time we connected with Ronnie and UGP. It was a real honour to represent them, and we talk about how big UGP became in Europe during the ’90s. Great memories, great times.
We then move on to remembering two of our old friends, Rob Indri and Winston “Winnie” Wright. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 25 years. Paul and I both grew up with Winnie and Rob, so we share some funny stories and good times from back then.
Paul wraps it up with a political rant and more. Check it out.
