This 3rd Place plaque from the 2000 season was earned by BMX pioneer Harry Leary in competition sanctioned by the American Bicycle Association (ABA). Awards like this reflect Leary’s continued presence in BMX racing decades after his early success in the sport’s formative years and illustrate the lasting impact of one of BMX’s most recognizable riders.
The American Bicycle Association (ABA) was one of the primary sanctioning bodies that helped organize BMX racing across the United States from the late 1970s until it later became part of USA BMX.
