| Item | Verified answer | Evidence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A. Jason Jenson | The supplied article caption calls Jason Jenson “Juicy Jaws” and states that he had “probably tripled more than anyone in the sport.” | Verified |
| 2 | Steve “Gibey” Giberson | The supplied article caption identifies resident editorial rider Steve “Gibey” Giberson. | Verified |
| 3 | A. Stu Thomsen | A printed Bob Osborn quotation says Stu Thomsen set an example that was clean, healthy, honest, and competitive. | Verified |
| 4 | A. Richie Anderson | The supplied photograph caption reads: Richie “The Avalanche” Anderson. | Verified |
| 5 | False — Stu Thomsen won the 1980 No. 1 Rider NORA Cup | The 1980 retrospective says Stu won his first NORA Cup; the published BMX Action historical listing also records Stu Thomsen for 1980. | Verified |
| Extra credit | Cook Bros. Racing / Craig and Gary Cook | The supplied article prints the quoted anti-stunt statement and attributes it to Craig and Gary Cook, Cook Bros. Racing. | Verified |

The quiz prints “PRO-BABLY.” The article prints “probably.” The answer remains Jason Jenson, and the quiz wording is preserved rather than silently normalized.
The quiz prints “THE AVALANCE.” The article caption prints “The Avalanche.”
The archival transcription preserves Avalance as published in the quiz, while the answer key and verification findings identify the article-supported form Avalanche.
The supplied 1980 retrospective says that Stu Thomsen won his first NORA Cup. A separate published BMX Action historical listing identifies Stu Thomsen as the 1980 NORA Cup rider.
The supplied 1980 retrospective spread does not print the NORA Cup No. 1 Team winner. A later published BMX Action historical listing records:
The answer Mongoose is therefore retained with its supplemental source clearly identified.
