ceased to exist as independent entities being integrated into the UCI. Beginning with the 1997 World Championships held in Brighton, England the UCI would officially hold and sanction BMX World Championships and with it inherited all precedents, records, streaks, etc. from both the IBMXF and FIAC. Pro Series Championships Notable accolades BMX product lines Significant injuries He possibly received a knee injury at the NBL War of the Stars national in Reno, Nevada on June 18, 1983. In a bmxactiononline.com interview he mentions "....in the main I blew out my knee and sat out the entire summer." He crashed on the first jump on the first straight in the "B" pro main in that Nevada race. His name does disappear from the results after the Nevada race. It reappears at the ABA Summer Nationals in Elkhart, Indiana on August 14, 1983, two months after the June 1983 incident and can possibly be interpreted as him sitting out "...the entire summer". In Bicycles and Dirt magazine's coverage of the 1983 ABA Summer Nationals it mentioned that:"Lee is still gaining strength after an injury, so the question was whether he had the strength to last down the long Elkhart straights." This further indicates that he had an injury over the summer that affected his racing. He reinjured his knee in a semi final at the ABA Grandnational in Tulsa, Oklahoma on November 27, 1983 that he originally hurt apparently at the NBL 1983 Reno, Nevada national the previous June. He mentions in a Gary Haselhorst interview for bmxactiononline that it was the primary factor in his retirement from BMX:"Then in a semi tore up my knee again. At that point I decided it wasn't worth it anymore. I raced a couple races in 1984 and actually won the pro open as a part timer in Salt Lake, but I didn't stick around long before I moved on." He was still able to make the main and come in seventh over all in that his first AA pro race.
