Ron Wilkerson at the Huntington Beach AFA contest in 1985


The first big innovator in lip tricks on vert, Haro pro in the 1980's, 1/2 of the 2-Hip Trick team, and the guy who started putting on 2-Hip King of Vert, and then Meet the Street contests, in 1987-88.  Later came Wilkerson Airlines.  Ron Wilkerson, one of the most influential BMX freestyle riders ever.  Hey, he invented the abubaca, and a bunch of other stuff.
