One of BMX’s earliest stars, Dave Clinton made history as the first ABA BMX Hall of Fame inductee in 1985. A fierce competitor, he dominated the junior class in the 1975 Yamaha Bicycle Gold Cup and captured the California State Championship. A founding member of the PRO Racers Guild, Dave helped shape the sport’s foundation. Sponsored by Kawasaki and later riding for Diamond Back, he also graced the cover of Redline Magazine. Inducted into the U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame in 2006, Dave’s legacy continues to define true BMX excellence.
