What has been your biggest score in the past 5 years?Īdam Cox: Staying somewhat healthy. Those were a good time and core events for the Darkside. They are top shelf! The BMX Source events were cool, but the event I really would like to see return are the Gonzo BBQ shows. What Oldskool BMX Swap meets/reunions/shows do you try to attend?Īdam Cox: I really make an effort to hit up the BMX Society events. I guess I should name "WFO" Johnny "TrueTorch" Severin, since I've called on him in the past to bend up and weld cages in race cars for me. We are better friends now than we were when our 11 year old selves used to line up on the gate together.ĭo you come across any (former) BMX-ers in the car industry?Īdam Cox: Yes! Jeff Utterback, Gary Turner, Dan Gurney (RIP), Lenny Batycki, Steve Firestein, Dave Marietti, Rick Elam, Stacey Stone, to name a few. We hang out when we can, and he usually gets my old ass up and pedaling a bike when we get together. He's an old, and I mean "old" racer, Eddy King. The BMX brother I see more on a regular basis than anybody isn't a collector. Glenn Packer is another brother that comes to mind. Which BMX collectors do you stay in touch with on a regular basis?Īdam Cox: William LaRoque never lets me stray too far.

We assemble, manage and support racing programs for private individuals and professional teams. For several years I have run my business ACE Motorsports Racing. As a kid from BMX to Motocross and eventually Autosports. I have pretty much been involved in racing all of my life. All of us that knew him miss him dearly.Īdam Cox: Without a doubt. He was a key player in designing, welding and bringing to production the original JMC frames. Prodyne was located a few doors down from JMC and the owner, Larry Barker (RIP), was a huge influence on me as a kid.
When you see a sweet JMC bike built up, does that get your blood pumping?Īdam Cox: Absolutely! This is a sweet example!Īre you on the internet much looking for parts?Īdam Cox: Not as often as I was in the past.ĭo you have a project going at the moment?Īdam Cox: A few! My 24" Prodyne is at the top of my list. I have also acquired through collector friends, items that I had given away back in the day, such as one of my early factory jerseys. Have you hit them up to see if they have some good stuff left from when they were on the team?Īdam Cox: No, but I have through hunting and chance, come up on some of my team mates' frames, number plates, etc. Harry Leary, Darryl Young, Andy Patterson, they were all JMC riders back then.
A yellow '78 short, large bb and my chrome '80 Black Shadow. The values and pride that Jim possessed in regards to USA made products were instilled in me as a young kid.ĭid you save all your bikes from the time you were racing and did you use that as a base to expand on?Īdam Cox: I saved all of my JMC's, but two. Adam Cox: Yes, I worked for Jim Melton at JMC as a kid.
