Happy Late Birthday Shaggy!
The original wildman of bmx - Jimmy "Shaggy" Hunter - turned 14 yesterday on June 25!
Everybody needs to call up Jimmy and wish him a great birthday or send pizzas. "Shaggy" has been with Bluegrass Bicycle Bmx for quite some time and we wouldn't want it any other way. The Hunter clan can whip up some mean bmx racing between Jimmy, brother Jon, girlfriend Katrina and all coached on bythe Hunter's dad, Jim. Hope you had and are still having a great B-Day "Shaggy"!
