November 1st. This day 11 years ago was the first time the open sign was lit and the Daily Grind became real. A small shop, big ideas, no clue what I was doing. Pretty cool that things are still pretty much the same.
This place has given me more than I could have ever imagined it would. The amount of people who have travelled to see this place, teams and pro dudes and travelling BMXers. The list is long. None of that compares to the family of shop guys I have had here over the years. The very best of friends, the very best of times in my life spent with these guys. Hennessey, Buckler, Barcus, Webster Jake, Mercenary Steve, Lurkins, Burns, Mike Kuchy, Aaron Brais, Niel Bissonett, Xavier, Joe Grandelski, Foiscowski, Miller Joe, Mark Tetrault, Justin Koziol,Jordo Vieira, Joe Lucy Goosy,Nick Prete, Little Chris D'Aiello, Adam Nason, Sam Jones, Daniel james Mcmahon, and FRANK!!! All these guys have been amazing to me and make the shop what it is, actually they make it more than it is. So much more than a place full of parts and product. There is literally no way to thank these guys. There is literally no way to explain how I feel about DG or BMX in general. There is no way to Thank all the customers who have spent a dollar here to keep me open and keep my little BMX dream alive but if I could you all know I would go all out to do it!!!
So here we are 11 years later. The shop has changed a bit. I still have big ideas. Still pretty clueless.
Year 11 looks real amazing! I have a sweet promotion coming up with all my favorite brands, it's gonna be an amazing time to stroll through these doors in the next year. To all my shop guys, I love you all, total homo style. I would do anything for you guys!
To everyone, Thank you.
Chuck
