From the small Harley-building Pennsylvanian town of York came the Plywood Hoods - a group of young, up and coming freestylers who would all make a name for themselves in BMX. Among the Hoods who would create the Legendary VHS video series, titled Dorkin' in York, was the innovative Kevin Jones.
His video parts in Dorkin, his creativity, hard work ethic and incredible trick list have drawn appropriate comparisons to Kev being The Rodney Mullin of BMX.
Jones was a quiet, humble rider who practiced his butt off late into the night to perfect his ground-breaking flatland repertoire, creating unthinkable maneuvers that would blow the minds of all riders - and then linking them all together in a fluid motion. Jones is credited for bringing the BMX world the Locomotive, the Trolley, the standup Infinity Roll, the earth shattering Elephant Glide, the Dump Truck and the jaw-dropping Hitch Hiker - all tricks that no rider could’ve, or would have, ever imagined were possible. Kevin’s flowing combinations, creative bike contortions and mind bending balance dawned the birth of modern-day flatland.
His limited time on the AFA contest circuit, and short stints of touring for Haro, Wilkerson Air Lines or Hoffman Bike, further built up his Howard Hughes-esque reputation. For he’d much rather ride by himself and a few close friends, in an underground parking garage or in his backyard than having to deal with the pressure of shows or contests.
The legend of Kevin Jones will live on forever - especially after this long-awaited and much anticipated moment, when we all welcome The K to the stage, to FINALLY become a member of the BMX Hall of Fame!
