Kissena Track - Nelson Vails

Here is a picture of 1984 Olympic Silver Medalist Nelson "T-Bah" Vails that I took at the Kissena track. Nelson was a bike messenger from Harlem who cut his teeth as a sprinter on our local velodrome. Mitch and I once rode a 3-up match sprint against him. I wish I had a picture of that. Yes he has two legs; it is just the camera angle. I WISH he only had one leg. Maybe then we would have stood a chance.
