I'm sure many Ols Schoolers will remember R&D Suzuki rider Kyle Fleming

Very cool. Thanks, Jay.

Thanks for that Big Guy... I will be making a trip down there as soon as it opens for sure.

Doh!!!! I am really out of the loop now.

is that where you actually peddle instead of twist? that's fuggen nuts!

OT: Nice Avatar pic!!

I remember Kyle......but Bruce Bunch was the fastest kid I ever saw on a mini......

I was there that year.

Nice pics.

Thanks for posting that Jay.

Here is a nine page thread from the Old School section about the accident involving Kyle, Bruce Bunch and Rick Hemme. That was a very sad day in MX history. I believe the record books would look a lot different if that accident never happened.

500guy, way cool story, thanks for sharing and keeping the memory alive. I didn't know Kyle was such a hot shot at BMX too. To this day I still remember getting the awful news of the accident. I was racing mini's at Canyon Raceway when the announcer let us all know what happened. Kyle was one of AZ's finest for sure.

This is awesome.

Nice gesture on the parents part....

Neat part of history there....

There is a little blurb about Kyle on the ABA HOF webpage HERE

KYLE FLEMING
"ABA’s very first No.1 Amateur--back in 1978. Kyle helped put Arizona BMX on the map, and gave DG bikes a winning reputation in the late-70’s. Made the move from BMX to motocross, but tragically died in a car/train accident in 1982."



Kyle was a cool dude from a great family, actually become friends with his sister before meeting Kyle way back in the early 80's. Had some really good times back in the day.

That's awesome!
