Just posted an update to the History of BMX Timeline. I had not really looked at it since July of 2008 (before the Beijing Olympics). A friend in the industry recommended that I update it, so I sat down and knocked it out.
As it says on the last page, I am not presuming to say that these are the only important dates, to the exclusion of all others. This is an ever-evolving collection, over which I am serving as curator. If you have specific dates and events to add to the timeline, please post them here, and they will be given the utmost consideration.

1933. Arnold, Schwinn & Company introduces the “balloon tire” (“tube-in-tire technology”).
The above should read more like this.
1933. Arnold, Schwinn & Company introduces the “balloon tire” to the United States. After this “tube-in-tire technology” was seen being used on bicycles in Germany by Ignatz Schwinn, while on a vacation in Europe. Schwinn's introduction of "balloon tire" bicycles to the US market sparked what came to be looked upon as the second great bicycle boom in the United States.
