Roots



When I was a young buck all I wanted was a dirt bike. I must of drawn the Honda CR80 five hundred times over in school just day dreaming what it would be like to own one. Only the "Rich Kids" at the time had em and I was the "Broke Dick" dreamer kid who always lived in an apartment that changed every six months. I came to grips with the fact that I couldn't get my hands on one so I latched onto the next best thing, BMX. I think a lot of people that check this site have had there hand in BMX at one point or another. It was so much fun, probably more fun that owning a dirt bike because I had so many more homies that could afford BMX race.

Here are a few shots I came across the other day from my last racing days. I will try and dig up some earlier photos. Good times though for sure. Makes me really appreciate the fact that I have a motorcycle(s) now and have just as much fun with my crew as I did when I was 13.

Sick... I never raced. I just built plywood jumps in the field across the street.
