Perry Kramer

Perry Kramer (born October 6, 1959) is a former American "Old School" professional Bicycle Motocross (BMX) racer whose prime competitive years were from 1974-1981.

Note: In the early days of professional racing, prior to 1976, 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, some early "professionals" like Stu Thomsen who turned "pro" in 1975 at age 16, would race for small amounts of money at track events when offered.

[1] Even before the NBA, this was regarded as the first true national BMX sanctioning body and had a professional division.

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.
