About Mike Miranda (BMX rider)
- Michael Felty formerly Miguel Juan Miranda (born November 15, 1963 in Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.) is a former American "Old School" professional Bicycle Motocross (BMX) racer whose prime competitive years were from 1981-1986.
- His previous surname which he is still widely and most familiarly known by, "Miranda", was his stepfather's name.
- There seem to be two stories on how he got his nickname "Hollywood".
- It was either coined by Bicycle Motocross Action (BMXA) editor Steve Giberson because he like to "show off"; or he had pretty much gave himself the moniker by having a name sticker under the visor of his helmet reading "My name is Hollywood", which was noticed at the 1981 NBA Roncho Nationals.
- Here is how he tells it in this 1982 quote: "This guy I know that races motorcycles in Southern California is a real jerk.
- Every time you did something stupid, we would call you by his last name.
- 'You're such a Smith.' And at the Super Bowl of Motocross three years ago (in 1979), he raced and had "Hollywood" on the back of his jersey.
- From then on, whenever you did something stupid, we would say: 'You're such a Hollywood'.
- It was meant as a putdown but now I guess it's compliment.
- I just tell people that they call me that because I like to show off.
- Steve Giberson started it." -----Mike Miranda Super BMX April 1983.
