Sorry for the poor photo but I wanted to share this with you as quickly as possible because it has changed my life. Funny how a “kids” bike can do that eh? More »

They say it’s your birthday…

That’s right. Today is the day “I was born a poor…” oh never mind. Today is my birthday according to 23mag and my sore knees. So in honor of my day I will post whatever I damn well please. So here are a few pictures of me from over the years.

This is I in my backyard in 1986. Check out the Zeronine leathers and the Dyno. Too hot. My friend Rich put this image on shirt back in the day. I like this image. It reminds of those days when the snow finally melts, the ramp is dry enough and the temperature is hovering around 35 degrees.  Today my bones would scream at me for such a foul but back then it was pure awesomeness.

Here’s another from the backyard this time in 1997. That’s my best buddy Scott on deck. I really should have worn a helmet more often back then. Not that I ever wrecked on my head. As a matter of fact I’ve never broken anything except for a rib at the first Hoffman BS Contest (crashing on no-handed 360′s over a 7-foot spine hurts… a lot). I was lucky and lucky people take things for granted. Wear a helmet.

Hey! What’s this? Oh it’s when I first learned Tailwhip fly-outs in 1988. I loved that Coral colored Haro Sport but it snapped like a twig. Now that I’m old enough I’ve learned that doing 5-foot disasters over and over again for an afternoon is not the best way to a bike frame. Hindsight.

One last one. This is in England. I had such a great time on this trip except for when Degroot crashed the rental van. Of course they drive backwards there so can you blame him ; ) Other than that we were able to ride some classic parks and it didn’t rain once while we were there. Nice. I’d like to go back but with a bike that weighs less than 45 pounds.

OK. So that will be the last I post of myself for a while but I had to get it out of my system. I plan on taking this old frame (my body that is) out for some riding this weekend to prove I still don’t have it but I should keep trying anyways.

Thanks for reading the blog and check back often in the next week. I’ve got a load of new videos to serve you and I hope you can show your appreciation by clicking around on some of my sponsors on the page. A little goes a long way… Thanks again!
