September 17, 2004 – A great friend and inspiration to many in Southern Ontario passed away this summer. His tragic death struck all of us and brought a loosely knit group of guys a whole lot closer. BMXer, Ian Carmichael will be sorely missed by many. A short life lived full of an ever-present energy and a great love for BMX.

A few locals (Vesterfelt, Kempeinnen and Heaton) will be holding a memorial jam in Ian’s honour on Saturday, September 25. All proceeds will go to support the Ian Carmichael Memorial Fund.When you arrive, don’t be surprised to see the likes of John Heaton, Jay Miron, Kevin Porter, Dave Freimuth and more ripping the place up. There will be raffles and giveaways donated by Macneil, Alliance and many more. Go to alliancebikeco.com for more details.
