1971 DOB : november 9, 1971.
early years Dave started riding in 1987 on flatland in his parents' basement in Appleton, Wisconsin—soon progressing to wedge-ramps and eight-foot quarterpipes.

Trips to the Rampage park in Iowa heavily influenced Dave's direction toward mini-ramp-riding. He entered sponsored life with Gear n' Up Bike Shop in Neenah, Wisconsin, followed later by Shuvit, Standard and Baco.		 1989
1992 Dave : The first contest I ever won was a mini-ramp contest at Rampage in 1992 or so.
1994 1st place stuntboys street @ BS round 2, Kansas, may 1994
In stuntboys street Dave Freimuth mixed tech and big tricks together very nicely. One example was his incredible no footed toothpick on the ten foot vert wall. First place.
1995
1996 Mike Rooftop Escamilla asked Dave to join the Etnies fold at the South Padre BS contest in march 1996. He was getting free shoes from Vision at the time, but jumped at the chance to ride for Etnies.
1997 During summer 1997, Dave switched from Standard to ride for DK.

2006 Interview in Ride UK february 2006.

Dave Freimuth, www.fatbmx.com, september 2006 : As of the end of November I will no longer be riding for Macneil bikes. Due to financial issues Macneil had to make a few cutbacks and I happen to be one of them, Tony Mortenson was another. Everything with Jay Miron and I is as cool as the day he first asked me to ride for Macneil nearly 6 years ago. I wish Jay, Macneil, and all the boys at Ten Pack the best and had a great time working with them all. Even Alistair! I'm already working out details with a possible new bike sponsor so hopefully I'll have some more news for you very soon.

October 2006, after departing the Macneil camp, Dave's found a new home on Clint Millar's Colony BMX team.
