How many of us got our start in the cycling world on a BMX bike? The massive mountain bike scene in Central Oregon owes a lot to its BMX roots, and COTA Movie Night at McMenamins is bringing you a totally radical history lesson!

High Desert BMX & The Hub Cyclery presents Joe Kind On A Sting-Ray: The History of BMX.

Joe Kid On A Sting-Ray documents the evolution of a sport created by kids who were modifying their Schwinn Sting-Ray bicycles to look like motorcycles. This film takes a serious look at the crazy-fun history and evolution of BMX bicycle riding, from the streets of 1960s suburban neighborhoods to today’s Redbull-fueled dirt, street & halfpipe insanity.
