We present kinematic results from the MOJAVE program, a large VLBA project to investigate the longterm structural and polarization evolution of jets associated with over 100 of the brightest radio-loud AGN in the northern sky. Since the sample is complete with respect to jet emission,we are able to deconvolve the effects of relativistic beaming to learn about the parent population of prominent blazars. We discuss the overall distribution of jet speeds and their dependence on other physical jet properties, and highlight several blazar jets that display unusual kinematics such as nozzle precession, accelerating features, and curved trajectories. The MOJAVE program is supported under National Science Foundation grant 0406923-AST.
