Since getting involved with BMX in 1974 I have had my share of bikes and parts lying around at my Mom's house in Duluth Minnesota. 2004 she decided she needed more space and wanted me to move all my parts to my home in Saint Paul, I complied.
Dabbled with the BMX message boards over the years but was more of a reader than contributor. After going through many of my parts, magazines, pictures, videos from BITD it gave me the boost to start sharing some of my past bikes, experiences, and the great people/friends that BMX offered.
Unfortunately pictures from the early to mid 70's are gone from my family and am really bummed about those classic shots being gone. Started to take over the photo taking due to my Mom's finger always being in the shot.
Here are some of the bikes that I owned or have moved me in such a way that I built them up to share with you and others at various bike races & vintage gatherings.
