franklin post -lrb- born april 20 , 1962 from watsonville , california u.s. -rrb- was an american professional `` old school '' bicycle motocross -lrb- bmx -rrb- racer whose prime competitive years were from 1978-1981 .
early in his career his nickname was `` cw post '' , a play on his surname of post which happened to be the same as a famous breakfast cereal manufacturer , c. w. post .
when the bmx bicycle manufacturer , cw racing became widely known in 1981 this nickname for frank post fell into disuse to avoid the implication that frank post was a sponsored racer for cw racing , although he would be later in his career .
also toward the end of the 1970s he was known as `` wild man '' for his controversial actions on the race track .
`` bmx action '' publisher and photographer bob osborn bestowed this nickname onto him after a photoshoot .
