Co Factory Rider Joe Robinson back in the Day
Janseville WI back in 1986 Joe was on the same team as Nor Cal Bmx Hall of Famer Ronnie Anderson. Joe started racing in 1983... then raced for factory Coke for a year. Joe raced every NBL national in 86 in the U.S. and a few ABA nationals, Back in the day big sponsors were paying out and Joe was living the dream at 15 years old. Hardees was a major fast food chain that had a big budget for its bmx team...the team even had a new 85 suburban truck and a enclosed trailer all pimped out. Joe was lu cky to get on the team and be a part of it before Hardees franchises were over. Joe almost won a Grand National and was a main event maker at all the Nationals. Were glad Joe is back into and riding for Psykopath with his kids.

1982 ABA Nationals/Winter-Nationals - 1982-Chandler/
The start is the most important thing in bmx racing then and now, I was never good at it, but when you take the right snap you just know it.
In future post you will see old skool pictures of past Psykopath Riders. So all you past Psykopaths send in in those pictures of bmx Piorneering, or we will find them. I'm # 18 sponsored by Bike Village Racing (BVR)/Pizzia Hut, that day I rode well with all National Factory riders in my class but just missed the main on the bubble.

The boys at Ride SFO started the SF Bike Expo about 5 years, and its gotten bigger and bigger every year, as always Psykopath will be at booth 666, check out the info below:
AT's Showdown is back for the 4th year at the SF Bike Expo in San Francisco, California. We're bringing back the head to head style unique competition like we did last year, but to change it up this year we’re adding a couple of different features to the course. We are expecting heavy hitters Greg Watts, Martin Soderstrom, Andreu Lacondeguy, McCaul brothers, Ryan Howard, Casey Groves, Linus Sjholm and many more to return to dual side by side.
New for this year will be an AMATEUR competition for all the up and coming riders that aren’t quite ready for the big show. The course will be a four pack next to the Showdown jumps. Anyone can enter, but it is a first come first serve basis that will max out at 35 riders. For more information about the Amateur Competition click HERE.

What riders have to say about the contest
What do you think of the contest and why?
It´s a superfun and relaxed contest and the perfect way to end the season with your friends. I am very over traveling right now, but will travel over the pond anyway. I guess that shows that it´s a pretty damn good contest!
What is the atmosphere like?
The atmosphere is definitely more towards having a good time then to win it. And that´s a great way to end a very competitive season.
Is the contest like other contest?
The comp and weekend have their own tweaks, always fun with something a bit different.
"Martin Soderstrom"
What do you think of the contest and why?
I think that the head to head format is awesome. It's unique for a dirt jump contest and it reminds me of racing dual slalom back in the day...
What is the atmosphere like?
Atmosphere is mellow. It feels like a jam.
Is the contest like other contest?
Nope, AT's Showdown is a refreshing detox from the hectic contest schedule that we go through over the summer.
