Papa Wheelie 03x 7 Posted December 2, 2020 My Grandson John “Johnny Rumblefish” Kerr went to the Grands and brought home some cool stuff! BTW I idid not give him his nickname. He won 6x ROC (Race of champions)and got 2nd in 6 and under open on Friday. He depended his NAG #1 plate (National Age Group) By winning all open and 6x motos, semi and mains. Also National #17. For those keeping score thats ROC #1, NAG #1, National #17 and State #1 Sorry but I’m a very proud Papa Wheelie. Also he’s a 3rd gen Bmxer 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched over 24 hours of coverage between Thurs and Sun and saw him race many motos. Every time I heard his nickname, I smiled. I didn't know if it had some ties to Rumblefish BMX from the 90s or not but I definitely remember all his laps last weekend. Great racer. You SHOULD be proud!!

Papa Wheelie 03x 7 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Mike Miller the announcer at Yucaipa Bmx track gave him that nickname when John started racing strides. Mike calls my younger grandson Wade (5) “Rumbleguppy”. I have another grandson Luke (2) who has yet to start racing. I don’t know what his nickname will be and I have a granddaughter on the way. Bmx was such a huge part of my life as a kid and into adulthood (with full support of my wife) and to have my son and grandsons involved like they are makes it that much more meaningful.

TrulyOdd 572 Posted December 3, 2020 Amazing grandson there, Richard. I’d definitely be proud too. (Its so rad in its own right...and Brian’s too that I might break this off into its own thread). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife asked me last night how he got his nickname so now I know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
