SoCal,
I vaguely remember that photo. I'm pretty sure that is Stu Thomsen who was one of the first super-stars of BMX and a Redline factory rider (I supposed the #1 plate and Redline uni give it away). If I remember correctly, Stu was a big dude, like 6ft 200 lbs. The bike in the pic looks like an original Carrera or RL20. I wish I still had my collection of BMX Action mags.
Most of the original BMX guys were also car guys. I think they used to put rider's rides in the mags as a regular feature. Haro had a sweet BMW 635 with Epsilon wheels that just had the right stance. I remember Oz and his son were both Porsche guys.
Thanks for the memories
