Chris Young is a name you’ll be more familiar with if you know your early ’80s BMX roots in the UK. Chris was National Number 1, riding for teams like Mongoose and Torker before crossing over into freestyle.
Chris went on to ride and tour with Skyway in the UK alongside Andy Patterson, Billy Stupple, and the Skyway team in ’83, putting on demos and really promoting the sport up and down the country, which was well documented at the time through the mags.
Chris rode in the 1984 Kellogg’s events, jumped over cars, but kind of disappeared from the scene by the mid ’80s. Still, there are so many great images of Chris floating around online today.
