Birthdate: 3 août 1972
Aaron Behnke, www.profileracing.com, 2008: I remember seeing someone riding flatland in a grocery store parking lot. More specifically he was doing squeakers standing on the pedal. I already had a chrome BMX bike that I hauled ass around the neighborhood on. I started trying squeakers after that and many years later I'm pretty good at them. I just wanted to learn more flatland after that. I'm terrible at remembering dates but I'm going to guess it was 1985 or 1986.
