Hold on to your Hats, boys and girls. This one's a doozy.

I've mentioned Amy Stein before, specifically, her domesticated series. Well, now she's up to something else (Bunny Hops to F-stops) - getting a grant for the purpose of collecting and displaying (book? exhibit?) pictures of photographers who once rode BMX;

If you are a modern photographer genius who spent their youth doing tail whips, table tops and endos, let me know and please send me a photo. I think I can get a grant for this.

Aaron has already sent this picture to Amy, but I just have to ask - are there any BMXers out there amongst you guys / girls? If so, do you have a picture to share? Come on dudes and dudettes (also known in the BMX world as powderpuffs), fess up.

guessing from how you look, was this taken late 70's early 80's? I had that type of disco mustache back around that time period. I am really just curious.
