Somebody in another bash Huffy thread a while ago though mentioned that they remembered Huffy as being the main instigator of bmx racing, and helped build trails all around the US, which I think is pretty cool. It sounds like they did contribute something afterall.

I was taking a very lightweight-centric point of view there. No denying they were closer to the mark with their BMX line.
