Jim Jannard founded Oakley in his garage in 1975, starting with just $300. The original Oakley product was a Grip, whose distinctive material (“Unobtainium”) later became a key feature in future Oakley products.
Jannard’s long-standing support of BMX, motocross, surfing, and other action sports, through Oakley, helped shape modern sponsorship and athlete-marketing strategies.

Having raced since the age of 7, Michigan’s Melanie is a 9-time NBL National #1 20” and 1985 ABA NAG (National Age Group) #1 for 10 Girls. She also won five ABA Grands and one USBA Grands. She turned PRO in 1996 and continued racing into the 2000’s.

Maryland’s Allen family was longtime Track operators, having run Howard County BMX from the 70’s through 80’s, on into the 90’s, along with Columbia BMX (which hosted several ABA Nationals). During their time, Kenny & Joanne were running the only indoor track on the East Coast.
Kenny was also one of ABA’s main National track builders during the 90’s. Their sons, “Gnarly Neal” and Billy, followed in their father’s footsteps, building many BMX tracks all across the country.

Minnesota’s Jack Doherty was a BMX Promoter ahead of his time. Along with wife Pauline, they ran multiple tracks all over Minnesota, but are probably best known for putting on the Rondo Classic. They also started Tahoe Racing before moving to Arizona to work for ABA.
Later on, Jack became Factory Powerlite’s team manager and was an instrumental influencer for Rulebook changes, such as creating Mixed Opens, scrambling motos, and adding a specific Girls column to Team sheets (among many others).

Nourie started his career as the first and only Flatland-only HARO team rider in late 1984, pulling off original tricks such as the Gumby, Nourie Handstand, Peg Spin, and the Organ Grinder.
