Ian schwartz is officially moving on in life,
Words from Ian Schwartz,
About 6 months ago I reached a point with riding that it
just didn’t feel the same as it used to. Although its been a dream come
true and I would never trade any of it, I’m certain it’s time for me to
move on.
I was raised on a family farm and enjoyed it as a kid, but lost
interest as I grew older and found other things. Well a couple years
back I started to find enjoyment in the goings on of it again and began
to read and learn about it. I’ve been able to meet and work with many
area farmers and found an entire world of ideas and opportunities to
explore. My family has allowed me to lease a small 17 acre field on our
farm and I’ve begun implementing my ideas for responsible, respectful
and productive food growing. I hope to grow (but not too big), either
on our farm or on my own somewhere else in or around my hometown of
Lancaster, Ohio.
I still love riding, and will continue to ride, just not in the same
way as I have for the past 4 or 5 years. I appreciate the kids that
have had nice things to say online and in-person, and I’ve had an
awesome time with the guys on the team.
Take care,
Ian
Words from Jim C (Sunday BMX owner)
"This is definitely a sad day for Sunday and BMX.
Although we fully support Ian’s decision, it’s tough to know that one
of the most creative and unique guys in BMX is moving on to different
challenges. I’ve always appreciate his take on riding, it’s always
been smooth, effortless, creative and it felt good. The thing I always
got from his riding was that a trick looked good from beginning to
end. The whole thing seemed like it looked effortless not just the
trick itself. I’ve been lucky enough to have ridden with him so much
over the past 5 years. He’s definitely been a great influence on my
riding. Ian, you’ll be missed here at Sunday and good luck to you!"

Such a sad thing to see him go, he changed the style of bmx especially bringing new views to freecoasting.
