Stompin' Stu

Stu Thomsen was one of the original stars of BMX. He was brutally fast on the track and a skatepark pioneer, oddly enough. To be honest, my list of BMX heroes is pretty deep before it gets to Stu, but there is no denying his contribution to BMX. I just got the new documentary about his life and times, and it's really, really good. Check it out here.
