About two months ago, we brought DK pro/X Games 16 BMX Bronze Medalist Brian Kachinsky on board as a contributor, and in the time since, Brian's delivered his brand of BMX-infused humor to everyone via columns, interviews and photo galleries. Now that 2010 is almost done, I asked Brian if he would be down to create a few lists of his year in review, and that is today's subject. This is the year in review according to Chicago. Ill. DK/etnies pro Brian Kachinsky.
