Ron Bonner was a huge infulence on my life and on the directrion of Props, and he probably didn’t even know it. During our journeys covering events for the early Props issues we would sometimes head down to Florida to cover races or freestyle contests there. Sometimes we would just go down to hang out and to escape the brutal Midwest winters. I helped Ron create the first UGP printed catalog, took photos of his products and layed it all out in QuarkXPress to get printed. It was so fun. This was a whole new kind of thing for us all at that time in the mid-late-90s, printed promotion pieces for our brands. During those times Ron told me something so profound one day, something I still think about all the time. He said, “I just want to do cool things.”

When we were planning the first Road Fools trip, we made the logo and wanted stickers for the trip. Ron had a screen printing shop at the time and said he’d print them for free if we added a little UGP logo to the bottom of the sticker, which we did. Every VHS tape of the first Road Fools (issue 23) had one of these stickers in it. Today those stickers are very hard to come by.

Ron Bonner was the Steve Jobs of BMX. He was the first person to figure out cut and sew clothing like button up shirts that weren’t stock t-shirts. He figured out how to make rad backpacks and all kinds of things people didn’t even know they wanted. He started multiple brands and also a distribution company. He did it all. He loved every mniute of it with his unmistakable bousterious laugh.

I loved Ron and I just texted him last month where he said, “he was doing good.” Sometimes people you love bend reality and tell you what you want to hear so you don’t worry. RIP my dear, dear friend. I hope we can give each other a hug one day in a place we both go to. I’m looking forward to seeing you there, my friend. Until then I will miss you.

@realpropsbmx Best of 2000! Featuring @daveosato, Zach Shaw, @wesselbuilt, @rubenalcantara & more! 🔥
