History - BMX Australia 1982

April 1982

The 3rd Australian BMX Championships were held at Waverley, Victoria. Soaring temperatures met the huge numbers of entrants for this installmant of the National Titles. The ABC were on hand to film the Championships along with major sponsors, Milo. Australian BMX was starting to have an impact, now with a national television audience.

Local Melbourne based ace, Jamie Hales once again proved why he was the best in the business, taking out the Open Boys final for the second year in a row. Having also scored his face on Weetbix packets across the country, (apparently without consent), Jamie Hales was the face of BMX in Australia in 1982. Australia's first BMX "Superstar" was born.
