In the 90's someone who worked on the crew of Neighbours (yes, the Australian soap opera) must have been into BMX. There was always occasional characters popping up named after well known BMX riders like Joe Rich and Vic Murphy. Eventually a recurring character named Taj was added.
When someone asked his about his strange name he said that lots of cool people are called Taj and gave Taj Mihelich as an example.
I used to watch it after school before I went out riding on my T1 Barcode.
I met Taj at Rampage in 93, "before he was famous" and then random times over the next 10 years.
Really nice guy all the way through.
Taj was always one of my favourite Bmx-ers, his style just made everything look effortless. Seeing him still ride like that makes me soo happy!
I always wanted a T1 barcode but could never afford one, I had to settle (I know, woe is me) for a second hand Standard 250s. I'm going to listen to that Taj interview tomorrow and get nostalgic. The world needs more Taj.
Love Taj
Last I'd heard was he was struggling to ride at all due to back issues. Great to see him riding again.
