| Ben Crocket, BMX Plus! november 2003: If I had to describe the Dirt Bros., I would have to call them the gang of our older brother's generation that we are proud to say became a recognized part of ours. Stickered-up old frames, mag wheels, flannel shirts and the most basic of BMX tricks stretched beyond belief have become what will always be recognized as Dirt Brothers style. Even with a new batch of riders to mingle with the old, Vic Murphy maintains the Dirt Bros. and what they are all about. Vic Murphy, BMX Plus! november 2003: I moved to San Diego when I was 17 from Alaska and started riding with the locals James Arrington and Brad Blanchard. We eventually wound up riding with Ronnie Farmer, Kaarlo Wik( who was from Alaska too) and Pete Augustin. I was the one who got a business license and started selling stuff, though; that was in '90. I was 20 when DBI became a business, if you want to call it that. Vic Murphy, BMX Plus! november 2003: The Dirt Bros are a bunch of dirty bikers who love to ride bikes! We are the same yesterday today and forever!" The "OG" list of Dirt Bros is: Vic Murphy, Brad Blanchard, James Arrington, Ronnie Farmer, Kaarlo Wik, Lee Sultimier, Gonz, Eddie Roman and Pete Augustin. That's the "OG" with many additions to follow. Currently: Vic Murphy, Gary Young, Chris Myers, Ryan Fudger, Mike Grosse, Steve Woodward, Shawn Fedei, Jim Sibley, Rama Fire, Jon Bristol, etc ... Motto. Vic Murphy, BMX Plus! november 2003: "Ride 'em 'till ya' can't ride 'em no mo', then get another! If it rolls and has DBI stickers on it, it will work." |
