Prosit! Thanks For The B-Day Wishes

Big thanks to everyone on Facebook and Twitter and of course in "real life" for all the birthday wishes. And like I do every year, I take either the week of, or the week after my birthday off from work. Lots of good times were had with the family and of course we had some really fun relaxing days. Last year I even took the month of September off from posting on the Blog. Had a bunch of really good guest poster fill in and was just looking back on some of the post. Take a look at them here and thanks again everyone for the good words, and here's to another great year!

Birthday Wishes to the Proprietor of this Blog...

Ed Koenning was my favorite rider growing up. From the days of Homeless videos to the rock solid riding in the Poor Boy series, something about Ed's riding always drew me to his video parts and they were watched until the tapes wore out. The music was always abrasive, the rails were always long and it was a serious mix of dirt, park, and street. Riding a box jump in the parking lot of a bike shop will always hold a place in my heart that defines 90's freestyle BMX. Not only did Ed's ponytail signify the style consciousness of the time, but his sponsor list is midschool legend. King, Standard, Poor boy, Homeless, Trend, and Stray bicycles supported BMX when it was at its lowest popularity.

I would like to wish one of my greatest influences in BMX a happy 40th birthday and want him to know that he is still inspiring to this day, artistically and in riding. Good wishes to your family and I hope to buy you a beer soon enough! And also, this blog is awesome, thanks for letting me scribble all over it for a little while!
