That CRX in the catalog was probably Oscar Jackson's I know that he had a DOHC CRX in 86-87 timeframe. Or if Fiola bought it from him. I wonder when this video was taken because it looks like it has HX wheels. There weren't HXs until 96.

The CRX in the catalogue seems to have lower profile tires.
Eddies apparently was given to him by honda.
I'm going to sneak around the BMX forms and look for Eddie and send him our way.

The four spokes? I have a set of EK84s (Aeronautics) and they look like this:

Most likely between Mar 2010- Mar 2011, assuming that has annual registration too.

Notes: Booster seat in the passenger seat, would Eddie have a kid that age now? I can't tell from the video if the rear louvers or bike rack are there.

Hmmm Things are getting interesting
I remember the Car and Driver issue. and I believe it was put together by Jackson Racing.
http://bmxmuseum.com...c.php?id=416338


"When he was in Calgary last Summer he spoke about this car in length."

1) The car was #1 or #2 CRX in NA, and was the car seen in a shootout in Car & Driver magazine BITD. Apparently the car had a turbo for the shootout.
2) He acquired the car as a gift from a sponsor w/o the turbo.
3) The car has never broken down on him, except after he picked up Martin A. and they were headed to the airport to catch a flight to Calgary for the Rad25 event. It broke down on the freeway.

These details are to the best of my recollection...

Sorry, I blame my faulty memory. I knew there were 2 similar wheels that I lusted after, one was the 84's I think the other were Weds. I remember seeing them in the Lightspeed catalog. They looked similar but I couldn't remember what the difference was. I guess the 84's vanes were split.

I like the Jackson Kit.
just for the simplicity.

Vicious

The sad part is we know there's atleast another kit out there somewhere. I'm sure Oscar had a few made and I doubt they all really got sold. God please bless me with an Oscar Jackson aero kit lol

Hopefully the molds still exist somewhere. We just need someone with the connections to find them.
