CHULA VISTA, Calif. (BRAIN) — The National BMX Hall of Fame will induct six new members at a ceremony to be held here on Oct. 10.
The new inductees are Frank Post, in the Pioneer Racer category; Christophe Leveque, in the Racer category; Bob Tedesco, in the Industry category; Brian Blyther, the Freestyler category; and Kathy Schachel, in the Woman category.
Also, Ron Mackler will receive special recognition. Mackler was the park superintendent of Los Angeles' Palms Park. Mackler saw kids zooming around the park on bikes, and decided to set up some of the first-ever BMX races to keep them out of trouble.
Once again, the Induction Ceremony for the BMX Hall of Fame will take place under the Olympic flame of the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. This year's ceremony is tied in to Round 3 of the USA BMX North American Supercross series, held on the Beijing-replica track at the OTC. Simultaneously, the Gold Cup Finals West event will take place on the Chula Vista BMX amateur track.
Tickets are on sale now through EventBrite. Early bird pricing is available to those who book early.
