About Us
This event was conceived after three successful years of producing the legendary Frogtown Classic International BMX Days at same location. The Frogtown Classic International BMX Days was created by a small group of racers, race organizers and cycling industry professionals who participated in the original United Bicycle Racers (UBR) BMX races and raced at Frogtown in the late 70’s and early 80’s. They are passionate BMX and cycling fans who wanted to share the history and legacy of the early years of BMX in Northern California.
Todd Huffman
Todd Huffman was a local professional BMX racer from Placerville, CA who raced a few times at Frogtown before moving to Southern California to begin a career in the bicycle industry and became a documentary filmmaker. He brainstormed the event with Johnny Valdez when he learned the open field where the racetrack was originally was located, was still there, undisturbed.
Johnny Valdez
Johnny Valdez was the creator, owner and President of the United Bicycle Racers (UBR) from 1977 To 1982. The UBR was a BMX sanctioning body in central and Northern California with hundreds of BMX racer members and organizing hundreds of BMX races each year on tracks all over the upper parts of the state. Johnny now is a major supplier of team and crew uniforms for major BMX, Motocross/Supercross and other motorsports teams.
These two old friends and a dedicated team of volunteers helped make the first Frogtown Classic BMX Days one for the ages, setting a new trend around the world and setting it for for success in the years to come.
