Because of Steve Brothers at OS-BMX.com and all the effort that he and all the other guys put into this weekend's get together at Elysian park, I get to have the honor of being in a picture such as this one.

To almost anyone else, it's probably just a whole bunch of old dudes but to me. It means everything that BMX represented to me in the old days.

Thank you Mr. Brothers
