On the British BMX Hall of Fame Podcast, we have Robert Cardoza, one of the riders who appeared in a well-known movie you might have heard of called E.T.
Robert these days is married to British BMX Hall of Fame 2023 inductee and the first official UKBMX National Number 1 girl (1981), Jane Windle.
Robert tells us about the early days working with Howie Cohen at Everything Bicycles (distributors of Kuwahara), making factory plates for Bob Haro, and building up the Kuwahara bikes for the movie, plus how Steven Spielberg and crew found the other BMX riders at the Ascot track in So-Cal that we see in E.T., along with Robert and Bob Haro.
Robert talks about Howie Cohen, the famous bike chase, how much they got paid/credited, what happened to the Kuwahara bikes after the movie was done, where they are now, and so much more.
