2012 INDUCTEE JIM SPICKA

Began Racing in 1977. Member of the Mr. Bike Racing Team.

Jim Spicka started racing BMX around 1977. He raced first on the Freewheelin Bike Shop team and then for the Mr. Bike team.

Jim was the 1978 Spinnin’ Spokes Points Champion. He made his mark all over the Midwest and plains as one of the Nebraska elite. Jim seemed to shine the brightest in Shawnee, Oklahoma at the biggest race around – the 1978 NBA Summer Nationals. He really made heads turn at that race.

Jim was the was the definition of “natural talent”. Fast out of the gate, fast on the track, and smooth as glass. He put the power to the ground and left the other riders in the dust. The older riders would watch Jim and say “in a couple of years he is going to be up in our group and he is going to kick our butts”.

Jim Spicka was inducted into the Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame on August 18th, 2012.
