Epic Vintage BMX Downhill Challenge at CoopFest 2025!

Get ready for an epic recap of Coop Fest 2025! We captured it all—vintage BMX bike show, motos, semis, mains, and awards ceremonies celebrating the best of BMX.

This year’s vintage BMX bike show was next level, with jaw-dropping bikes from the 70s, 80s, and 90s that felt like walking through a living BMX museum. Texas collectors came in hot—Rob Lane’s mobile Redline display, Rusty Roberts and Tim Shaffer’s incredible collections, and Tony Lopez’s flawless restorations raised the bar for everyone.

On the track, the motos were stacked, the semis intense, and the main events electric. Riders were laser-focused, battling for holeshots, surviving first-turn chaos, and gunning for glory.

The BMX show bike judging was tougher than ever, but champions were crowned. And, Coop Fest honored every main event rider with awards—making it more than a competition, but a celebration of BMX itself.

Even storm clouds couldn’t stop Sunday’s exhibition race, featuring vintage Schwinn Stingrays and banana-seat bikes for some pure early-’70s BMX nostalgia.
