Birthplace : New York, NY, USA.
Brian Tunney, Aberdeen, New Jersey : Today I saw a Haro show with Matt Hoffman, Rick Moliterno, and Joe Gruttola. It was great. Rick just came back from an injury and was riding great. Same with Joe. who was pulling backwards decades. But the most insane ramp rider, Matt Hoffman, was raging. He told me he blacked out in the middle of an air and crashed. He said he thought he had heat stroke, but he still pulled all his rad tricks except the lookdown that he blacked out on. Thanks Matt, Joe. Rick, and The Rhino. It must be hard doing shows in 95 degree weather.
Brian Tunney : Christmas 1988 was probably my most memorable BMX Christmas. I received the new Dia-Compe Tech 6 locking brake levers and a Dia-Compe 883 Nippon brake from my mom. Then my father arrived with Dyno elbow pads and a GT jersey. I felt like a damn king that morning, doing switzerland squeakers on the dead end of my street adorned with new brakes, elbow pads and the emblem I so heartily endorsed by day and night. And within the next week, I used the money I made from "Santa" to buy some Vision Street Wear clothes.
Brian Tunney, digbmx.com, may 2008 : This is me at a comp in South Plainfield, NJ in 1990, about 2 minutes from where Brian Foster currently lives. Feel free to poke fun at the shorts, the Airwalk Disaster shoes or the wacky Haro Master with cut-down Peregrine bars. But do take a second to marvel at the giant Steve Martin sticker on the side of my Dyno helmet. Thanks to Adam Guild for the scan.
Brian Tunney is doing cool rolling around-the-front-of-the-bike tricks and some cab 360.
