Harry Leary Fall Risk Racing 2023 Number Plate Decal

This Fall Risk Racing #5 number plate decal from 2023 represents BMX legend Harry Leary’s continued involvement in BMX racing well into the later years of his life. The number plate identifies Leary’s race number within the veteran racing classes and reflects the enduring passion that kept him active in the sport decades after helping shape its early history.

Fall Risk Racing is a team formed by veteran BMX racers who continue to compete later in life, often embracing the humor and camaraderie that comes with returning to the track as experienced riders. The team name itself is a playful reference to the realities of aging racers who refuse to give up the thrill of BMX competition.

For riders like Harry Leary, participation in veteran BMX classes allowed them to remain connected to the racing community while sharing the track with both longtime friends and younger generations of riders. The presence of pioneers like Leary at modern races also serves as a living link between the sport’s early days and its present evolution.

Artifacts such as this number plate decal illustrate the lasting dedication of BMX’s founding generation. Even decades after his early successes helped define professional BMX racing, Harry Leary continued to ride, compete, and participate in the community that had shaped his life.

Preserved within the Lititz BMX Archive, this piece represents the enduring spirit of BMX—a sport where passion for riding often lasts a lifetime.
