 STU THOMSEN (commonly spelled Stu Thompson)

ABA’s very first No.1 Pro, in 1979.  Stompin’ Stu is perhaps one of the biggest names our sport has ever known.  The sponsors that Stu rode for are a who`s who of BMX of BMX history--Dirtmaster, Webco, DG, FMF, Shimano, SE Racing, Redline and Huffy.  Stu had a huge presence during his career and was a powerful, imposing rider in the PRO ranks.  While riding for Huffy in the mid-80’s, Stu became the highest paid BMX pro, having his own signature frame sold in department stores nationwide. After retirement, the Mighty Stu owned and operated his own bike shop in Riverside, CA. Today, Stu is a Sherriff in Southern California and shows up  on occasion at a few nationals a year to show that he still commands respect on a bike.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stuart Thomsen (b. May 20, 1958 in Santa Ana, California) was an American bicycle motocross (BMX) racer.

Stu Thomsen was one of the first of the "Old School" of famous professional BMX racers that gained fame in the early days of the sport beginning in 1974. His prime competitive years were from 1976-1985. Stu Thomsen can be rightly called the Babe Ruth of BMX[1] for his prolific and domination of BMX during its early days from the mid 1970's into the mid 1980's. Even today, many of the current sports superstars are compared to him as a standard of achievement.

His nicknames were "The Man" and "Stompin Stu", in part due to his size at 6 feet 1.5 inches and 200lbs.

Racing career milestones

Note: In the early days of professional racing, 1976 and prior, many tracks offered small purse prize money to the older racers of an event, even before the official sanctioning bodies offered prize money in formal divisions themselves. Hence early professionals like Stu Thomsen turning "pro" in 1975 at 16 years old racing for small amounts of money at track events when offered even before the NBA, regarded as the first true national BMX sanctioning body, had a professional division. The NBA started the first professional division in BMX in the 1977. For the sake of consistency and standardization noted professional first are for the first pro races for prize money offered by official BMX sanctioning bodies and not independent track events. Professional first are also on the national level unless otherwise indicated.

Sanctioning body:The proto governing body Bicycle United Motocross Society (B.U.M.S.)
Sanctioning body district(s):American Bicycle Association (ABA) California 1 (CA-1) (1985)
First race bike:
first highly organized mass event in BMX involving a large amount of racers and heavily promoted in the mass media in California. The first true National in which racers not from the state of California participated in and national points awarded to those out of state was the NBA Winter Nationals held in Phoenix, Arizona on March 29, 1975.[4]
Turned Professional**:1975 Age 16[5]
First Professional race result:**
First Professional win:Possibly at the National Bicycle Association (NBA) Jimmy Weinert Supernationals on "Weinert Mountain" at the Racing World course in Trabuco Canyon, California on April 3, 1977 when he won the Trophy Dash.[6] It was a 100% payback race in which the racer gets back his entrance fee. This is one of the first officially sanctioned Pro BMX races held in BMX. Stu would go on to win about USD$1,500 in 1977.[7] the equivalent to USD$5,349.01 in 2008 (Cost of Living Calculator).
Height and weight at height of his career:Ht:6'1.5" Wt:200lbs.

Retired from Senior pro (NBL-"A"/ABA-"AA"): July 1987 Aged 29. He couldn't find a factory sponsorship for the expensive national circuit which even with the resources of his bikeshop Stu Thomsen's Family Cycle Center.[8][9] However, he did race in large races that was both close to his Yorba Linda home and had large purses. For example he did race at least once in 1988 at the ABA Winter Nationals at Chandler, Arizona with a 4th and 7th in Pro Cruiser at the two races over that weekend. This is in addition to him racing locally close to his home. He raced in the 1990 ABA Fall Nationals and made the Pro Open Main in the Sunday race, coming in sixth. He also raced the 1991 ABA Fall Nationals as well along with fellow "retired" pros Eric Rupe and Harry Leary but did not make any of the Mains. He raced the Fall nationals again a year later reclassifying to "A" pro (along with Heary Leary) coming in third in Pro Cruiser on Day 2 (October 24).[10] In 1993 he resumed racing on a serious level in Pro Cruiser and in the then new ABA Veteran Pro class for a few years. Today he still races occasionally as an amateur in the ABA 45-50 cruiser and 36 & Over Expert 20" class sponsored by Redline. His last Senior Pro win in the 20" division before retiring from serious Senior pro competition appeared to had been at the NBL National in Sarasota, Florida on March 28, 1986.[11]

*Classifications at the time were determined by size and weight and not age and proficiency, so his age in this case is irrelevant. The Yamaha Bicycle Gold Cup was the first "National" to be held in BMX.
**At the time there was no separate pro class for pros due to the relatively small number of pros. They raced with the 16 Experts, making it a Pro/Am class essentially. This is why during the early years of the pro division the national number one racer of a sanctioning body could be either an amateur or professional. This practice continued until the NBA's 1979 season in which the pros earned separate pro points and a separate pro plate from the amateurs. The NBL and ABA followed suit a year later for the 1980 season. These original Pro classes were the equivalent to Senior Pro/Elite Men at the time. In the following season, 1981, the pro class was divided into Junior and Senior levels in the ABA and NBL. The NBA remained with a single level pro class in 1981.

Career factory and major bicycle shop sponsors

Note: This listing only denotes the racer's primary sponsors. At any given time a racer could have numerous co-sponsors. Primary sponsorships can be verified by BMX press coverage and sponsor's advertisements at the time in question. When possible exact dates are given.

Amateur

  • Newport Design & Manufacturing, Inc.:  ?-July 1974
  • Dirtmaster Racing Products: July 1974-August 1975.
  • Webco Inc.: August 1975-Late March 1976. Webco disbanded its team in March 1976.[12]
  • D.G. Performance Specialties (The initials stood for Dan Hangsleben, Gary Harlow[13]): Late April 1976-October 1976. Stu was kicked off the DG Team for bad mouthing and abusing his DG issue bicycle after a poor showing after a race. Chuck Robinson, DG team manager, heard Thomsen's out burst. Apparently according to Jeff Bottema, Thomsen's teammate at the time, it was not the first time and Mr. Robinson acted punitively at this at least second alleged occasion[14] In a June 1978 interview in Bicycle Motocross Action, Stu said about the incident:

    "....I stayed with them (DG) for another year and then got ejected from the team somehow...I don't even understand that."[15]

    He reiterated this point five years later in an interview that appeared in the September 1983 issue of Bicycles And Dirt magazine:

    "...for some unknown reason I was dropped from the team. I never really found out why."[16]

  • Flying Machine Factory (FMF): October 1976-Mid 1977. He joined FMF after leaving D.G. a week and a half later.[17] Stu would turn pro with this sponsor.

Professional

  • Flying Machine Factory (FMF): October 1976-Mid 1977. FMF was created in part by Scot Breithaupt, a pioneer of the sport. He will later split from FMF and start Scot Enterprises Racing (SER). Stu Thomsen would leave FMF with Breithaupt.[18]
  • SE (Scot Enterprises) Racing: Mid 1977-December 31, 1979.
  • Redline Engineering: January 1, 1980-December 31, 1983. After sometime on SE Racing he would move on to Redline. Financial reasons was the prime motivation as he explained in Bicycles And Dirt Magazine:

    BAD: Why Redline when you had been with S.E. for so long?
    Stu: At the time, pro racing had been going on for a few years, but the prize money wasn't all that big yet. Redline was a much bigger company than S.E. Racing. The dollar signs were what attracted me more than just wanting to chang. I needed to get more out of racing if I was to stay in it any longer. The opportunity to earn money by riding someone's product, other than just going out and winning it, was a big push. I decided racing was what I wanted and I had to get the best I could out of it."[19]

  • Huffy Corporation (Huffman Manufacturing Company): January 1, 1984-Early November 1986.
  • Motobecane (MBK): November 22-23, 1986. This was a one weekend sponsorship in France for the Bicross/Yop King of Bercy championship race in Bercy, France. It was not a permanent position nor was it meant to be.[20]
  • Stu Thomsen's Family Cycle Center: Early November 1986-1992 This is a Bicycle shop was started and has been owned by Stu Thomsen since November 1984.
  • Largely retired for six years 1987-1992. Raced once or twice in the pro cruiser and 20" classes a couple of times a year for fun.
  • Southridge Cycles: 1992 He resumed racing on a serious level starting in 1992 in Pro Cruiser and Veteran Pro.
  • SE (Sports Engineering) Racing: January 1993-

Amateur

  • Redline Bicycles: 1999-Present. He has reclassified himself as an amateur and represents Redline bicycles on the occasions he races.

Career bicycle motocross titles

  • 1984 Bicross International de Paris Bercy Champion (King of Bercy 1)*

*The International BMX Race of Bercy Paris was an invitational race sponsored by the Association Francaise de Bi-Crossing (AFB), the French BMX sanctioning body and was held in Bercy an eastern area in the city of Paris, France north of the river Seine. It was sponsored by the Yoplait Yogurt company and Bicross Magazine, a French BMX publication. As such it was also known as the Bicross de Paris Challenge Yop Champion (The Paris Yoplait BMX Challenge) in which American, English and German pros as well as French pros were brought together to compete in a single race. They were offered a 12-day all expensives paid holiday to compete in the race with a USD$5,000 purse.[23] As is typical in Europe, the public had greater enthusiasm for BMX than the American public, in part because bicycle racing of any type was and is much more popular in Europe (and in Asia and South America as well) than in the United States. Thirteen thousand spectators ventured into the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy (POPB) to watch a BMX race.[24][25] In America you would be fortunate to seat 2,000. In the 1984 addition 330 racers were invited to France including United States professionals like Pete Loncarevich, Harry Leary Rod Beckering, Mike Miranda and Greg Hill in addition to Stu Thomsen. As it would be with the 1985 addition, which Tommy Brackens won, it was a hit in France with tickets sold out three months in advance.[26]

    • 1979* with 1,040 votes or 25.13% of 4,140 votes cast.[28].
    • 1981* with 1,208 votes or 32.7% of the votes cast.[29]. He received $500 as a cash prize and a personalized jacket.[30].
  • Thomsen is a winner of Super BMX Racer of the Year Award for 1982 via a reader ship survey in the October 1982 issue of Super BMX.[31] No voter break down was given.
  • He was the first pro to earn a National No.1 plate twice and to do so consecutively (1977,'78 NBA)
  • He was the first pro to win the No.1 pro title with three different major sanctioning bodies (NBA, NBL, ABA).
  • At least one book was published by him: "Stu Thomsen's Book of BMX" (1985)
  • He was one of the founding members of the Professional Racing Organization (PRO).[32]
  • He is a 1986 inductee of the ABA BMX Hall of Fame.
  • He is also a 1998 inductee of the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame, the first BMX racer to be so honored.
  • He now a 2008 NBL BMX Hall of Fame inductee, making him the first BMXer to be inducted into the Hall of Fames of three major Cycling organizations.
  • Thomsen is also credited with the first documented Aerial (180 degree turn in the air and returning in forward) in a skatepark in the late 1970s.
  • Thomsen was featured in the BMX documentary "Joe Kid on a Stingray" in 2005. The title of the film was taken from a comment he made during an interview.
*In the early years of the NORA cup the year the balloting was done and tallied was the year it was considered awarded. In 1984 it was switched to when the winner of the cup was presented to the public in BMX Action magazine (usually in the February or March issue) the following year it was considered awarded and not during the closing months of the previous year when the voting and tally takes place. This was done to give the rider (and the winners of No.1 bicycle and No.1 Factory Team) maximum publicity and advantage financially. Therefore under the new system Stu Thomsen was awarded NORA in 1980 and 1982.

     Post BMX career

    • Stuart Thomsen is a Sheriff's Deputy in Orange County, California, making him literally "The Man". He still races BMX and mountain bikes every once and a while. According to former fellow racer Dennis Dain, nicknamed "The Red Baron", Thomsen became a Sheriff's deputy approximately in 1993 shortly after selling his bicycle shop.[49]
    • Thomsen still races for fun occasionally. Most recently he raced the amateur 41-45 cruiser at the November 2001 ABA Grand Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma and won. He also race in the 36 & Over Expert 20" class as well as the 45-50 Cruiser class at the ABA Winternationals in February 2007. He made the mains but didn't place in the top three of either class in the mains, but his competitive spirits remained undimmed:

    "Stu said he’ll be training more and plans on racing again this year. 'I still hate losing,' he said. 'I guess

    I’ll always be that way.'"[50]
    As proof of that he won the 50-54 Cruiser main at the 2008 NBL Grand National, amazing on lookers by his jumping ability.[51]  "Top Banana: Stompin Stu Thomsen" Bicycle Motocross Action June 1978 Vol.3 No.3 pg.9
