Here is a brief time line tracing the development of renaissance BMX music , BMXing has it's starting point 1971 , the year Thomas Gordy's canzonets in three voyces was published. 1975 = nothing 1979 = nothing 1983 = BMX Bandits 1985 = nothing 1986 = RAD 1990 = nothing 1995 = merkin8r's 'great BMX songs of the renaissance' Not everyone can accommodate themselves to this musical form , some complain that their ears attuned to more conventional genres ( j beebaa ) can make no sense of what to them seems a chaotic mass of musical expression . To those people GO FORNICATE YOURSELF.....

Edson Arantes Do Nascimento ( aka Gordy ) the failure of merkin. The first song merkin8r ever wrote was called ' The ballad of the semitic old school bmx'r ' based on suicide from Thin Lizzy's fighting album thay try in this extract from the last verse to capture Phil Lynott's now maggotridden blend of passion and regret. I'm as popular as a old school'r in Beirut. I'm responsible for millions of flats. I've decimated more then half of tasmania. Kinda makes you wanna BOOGIE.....

No where in Warpig's corpus can one feel real passion at work. BMX is the urge of youth . The scream of rebellion and the song of defiance,yet where do the merkin's stand ? They themselves admit : BMX is my ticket to freedom Racing is my passport out of here I'd rather were a open face helmet,and get fat drinking beer. (Anarchy is jumping the gate before it drop's).....

THE PSALMS OF THE MERKIN8R IN METRE 1*That man heth perfect gate start's who walketh not astray in counsel of unmerkly men, nor stand in old school'rs way , nor sitteth in the scorner's chair : 2*But placeth his delight upon merkin8r's law , and meditates on his law day and night. 3*he shall be like a merk tree that grows near planted by a river , which in his season yields his fruit , and his merk fadeth never : and all he doth sholl prosper well . 4*The wicked are not so ; but like they are unto the merk , which wind drives to and fro. 5*In judgment therefore shall not stand such unmerkly are ;nor in th' assembly of the just shall wicked merk appear . 6*For why ? the way merkly man unto the merkin8r is known; whereas the way of unmerkly man shall quite be overthrown ................

OLD SCHOOL AND JOY meine hoffnung stehet feste. All my hope on merkin8r is founded; He doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth,Only good and only true. Merkin8r unknown,He alone calls my old school ride to be his own. Pride of old school man and bmx glory,Chain ring and spider betray his trust; What with care and toil he buildeth, 81 supergoose and moto-mag,fall to dust. But merkin8r's power,hour by hour,is my temple and my tower...........
