Bob 'OZ' Osbourne and Bicycle Motocross Action Magazine was like a surrogate father to me growing up. I looked forward to every issue like it was Christmas and absolutely would devour and analyze every word and photo in the magazine. My friends and I could recite the words of Oz like it was scripture. Wish I could have remembered my text books that well. His photography was the first catalyst that drew me to wanting to be a photographer. I would see him at races and I would watch him like a hawk and see how he was shooting.. then months later see how the shot came out in the magazine. I remember trying to approach him and say thanks at a race back then.. but I couldn't do it.. the words wouldn't come out. I can now .. thanks Mr. Osbourne.

BMX action was where it all started for me too...still have my issues tucked away at my folks.
deeper than the furthest fathoms of the ocean. Getting to hang out with Oz in 05 was like shooting hoops with Jordan for most people.
