Title: "Anthony Sewell Tribute"
Post by: Dennis Dain on April 10, 2009, 12:24 AM

I doubt anyone here will be able to make it out here to Southern California for our tribute to Anthony on April 18th, but if you would like to share a memory, make a comment, say goodbye or tell a story, this is the place to do that.

I will be printing these into a booklet to be read (if appropriate) at the get-together and then given to his family.

I wanted to include you guys across the pond because BMX is now so much more than just a kid riding his bike through the neighborhood. We are a world wide community that looks out for each other. I do not think Anthony's family knows how many people Anthony touched. I would like to add some names and comments from around the world.

Thanks for your time, guys and gals. You all are great!

Dennis Dain

The word "Legend" is over used these days but NOT in this case, we was lucky to see his skills over here, RIP Anthony, UK Oldschool BMX will miss you.

First time i ever saw a bmx bike being ridden on dirt was on CHiPs in 1978/9, thats what got me into bmx and i'm still here 30 years later!!

Anthony Sewell was the guy riding the bike in CHiPs so he helped shape me.

Thanks Anthony.

RIP friend.
