Josh I hope you and your family are holding on OK. I will try my best to make it out to that jam. Wish I could have crossed paths with Brian.

Damn.  RIP Brian.  First time on bg for a while, and just saw this thread. 

I actually met Brian a couple of times a few years ago when I used to ride: once at a cult bbq/jam in La Habara, CA, and another time or two when I happened to run into him at the skatepark a couple times.  He was super chill when I awkwardly came up to him and told him I recognized him from bikeguide haha.

Also,  HoshPosh, I'm sorry about your loss dude.  You sound way stronger with handling everything then I would ever be.  I remember I would always get so stoked when you guys would post pictures of your bikes next to your minitrucks.

I don't post a whole lot, but I have been around long enough to come to appreciate Brian's contributions to this forum.  It actually made me really sad when I read the title of this thread, even though I don't even know Brian

Yesterday was Brian's jam at the Escondido skatepark! Had a fucking blast, if you didn't make it you missed ouutttttss! Everyone was in great spirit and the weather was absolutely awesome!
Everyone was able to write something for Brian on some Red/White/Blue balloons and everyone let them go for Brian at the same time. An awesome site to see!

Ride In Peace Pickles!

Awesome.

[Hmph]

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing the pictures BHS!

I'm sure Brian was enjoying the show from above…

Brian,
You will not be forgotten.
R.I.P friend

I made it to his service on Friday at the church. Really nice with his brother and sister reading what people wrote about him. Bikeguide was actually mentioned! Didn't stay for the after get together and couldn't make it on Sunday but it looks like everyone had a good time. Brian would approve!

Wow, haven't been on here in forever and this is stickied.  This is rough, RIP Brian, you are missed.

I'm pretty shocked by this. Never knew Brian personally but I've been on and off this forum for nearly ten years and he's always been there to make me laugh and inform me on boots, bikes, and life in general.

RIP Brian, my prayers and thoughts are with your loved ones.

Really unfortunate news to grab you on the first login in some time. RIP Brian.

Horrible to hear the loss of someone so respected and kind. I didnt believe what I read when I first logged in.
  My thought go to his family and friends in this time. Peace.

[BGB]

Man, I miss Brian.
I'm building a road bike now and I would talk to him about dope ass big bike parts.
I finally deleted his number from my phone

[Aesop Rock]

That's a terrible feeling.
