BMX Action Magazine – March 1988 Issue
This issue of BMX Action Magazine from March 1988 features coverage of the 1988 NORA Cup results, one of BMX racing and freestyle’s most respected rider-voted awards programs. The NORA Cup (Number One Rider Award) recognized the top racers, freestylers, and industry contributors based on votes from riders and BMX insiders, making it one of the sport’s most prestigious honors during the 1980s BMX boom.
The issue also highlights the ABA Grand Nationals, promoted on the cover as “The Biggest and Best Race Ever!” The ABA Grand Nationals were the championship finale for the American Bicycle Association racing season and represented one of the largest and most important events in BMX racing at the time.
Published during a peak period of BMX popularity in the late 1980s, this issue captures the culture, athletes, and competitive landscape of the sport through race coverage, rider features, and industry news. Issues like this provide valuable historical documentation of BMX racing during its golden era.
The cover of the March 1988 issue of BMX Action Magazine features freestyle pioneer Brian Blyther performing a trick on his GT bike. During the late 1980s, Blyther was one of the most influential freestyle riders and a regular presence in BMX media and demonstrations. The issue also includes the 1988 NORA Cup results and coverage of the ABA Grand Nationals.
