Harry Leary is a legend in the sport of BMX. Growing up in the San Gabriel Valley he started racing somewhere around late 1972-1973. His first race was at Cortes Park where he won his class and his reward was a some handlebars and grips. His first real sponsor was Coates Schwinn but he eventually ended up JMC. How many people can say they were invited to the very first ABA bike race? Being a big shot at his local track Harry says he had to search out to find the other legends like Stu Thomsen and Greg Hill for competition. He left JMC and landed on one of the most iconic BMX teams of all time "Diamond Back." When that team came to an end he bounced around from sponsor to sponsor and eventually landed racing mountain bikes where he has a Silver Medal from the 1989 Mountain Bike World Championships in Dual Slalom. And a Bronze Medal from the 1990 Mountain Bike World Championships in Dual Slalom. He also has a couple titles for Vet Pro. Since 2007 he's been racing in the amateur ranks and killing it ever since. This was a fun interview, enjoy.
