BMX has lost a legend. Rest in peace, Ronnie Bonner.
It’s always hard hearing the news that somebody has passed away, especially somebody that made a huge impact on you. It was announced that Ronnie Bonner passed away after from his battle with cancer. As many of you have seen, or will see, posts about Ronnie and his legacy from creating legendary brands like UGP, The Shadow Conspiracy and Subrosa, to his distribution company Sparky’s, his trading company Rock Steady and more. Ronnie did it all on every level in the BMX industry, and he did it with a contagious smile and energy. Anyone that had the chance to meet or spend time with him knows he was genuinely interested in what you had going on, and was always down to support anything positive in BMX. It was because of him so many riders and beyond were able to live out their dreams and do awesome things because of him, including us. There is nobody quite like Ronnie and his impact on the industry will be felt forever. Rest easy, Ronnie.
