History of BMX (1994 - 1995)
Year 1994.
January, the I.BMX.F. - Florida, USA
issued an updated Rulebook, since they were working together now with the UCI in Switzerland - Europe. Also a special page with the names of the original founders of which three of them have been awarded a LIFE TIME MEMBERSHIP. George E.Esser, Tadashi Inoue and Gerrit Does. They were the men who took the first initiatif to form an international BMX federation composed of representatives from world wide national BMX organisations. Gerrit Does was the first to start a discussion on this topic in 1979 at the JAG BMX Worlds.
Another change was made on the I.BMX.F logo. The original logo from 1981 was designed by George Esser's son, Brian Esser (also a former BMX racer). The rider in that logo was Pro BMX'er Greg Esser. For copy-right reasons, since I.BMX.F. was working together with the UCI now, a new "rider" in this logo was designed and placed. That's the history behind the I.BMX.F. logo.
