2012 INDUCTEE J.P. FELLIN

J.P. Fellin began his BMX racing career in 1983 at the age of six in Springfield, Missouri at a track called Spokes BMX. In 1989 he moved to Lincoln, Nebraska and his first race there was at an indoor track in Kearney. That’s when he met Robbie Richard and the whole bmx thing went crazy for them. They raced together and were the terror of Midwest race tracks on the now legendary Team JerryCo. J.P. and Robbie were inseparable and traveled the Midwest and USA racing together on the ABA National circuit.

J.P. has been to almost every state, Canada, Mexico, and Japan racing his bike. At the age of 19, he moved to California to pursue a BMX dream and was loving life getting paid to ride a bike. He raced for three more years as an amateur then turned Pro at age 22. J.P. raced Pro for one year but due to multiple injuries he ended his racing dream early.

J.P. has the distinction of being on numerous Factory BMX Teams including; Factory Cool Boys, Factory Supercross, Factory Diamondback, Factory AC/Redman and Factory Redman. His list of wins and titles is amazing and includes; 13 time Gold cup Champion, seven time ROC Champion, one National Age Group title, two time World Cup Champion, numerous Nebraska District and State Number One plates, National Top Gun, voted Top Ten Amateur for the Terrible Ten in the ABA and a Vans Triple Crown of BMX contender.

While riding for Diamondback and Redman J.P. appeared in major BMX magazines on numerous occasions. His incredible high-flying radical jumping style made him a natural for use in advertising for EVS, Redman and WARPT clothing.

Today J.P. lives in Menifee, California but the only racing he’s doing these days is in a Baja desert truck, with age comes a cage. J.P. was inducted into the Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame on August 18th, 2012.
