My name's Stephen, I'm 16 and I left Forest High to attend MTI for automotive instead. I try to ride my bicycleta daily. =] It makes me happy, despite injuries, i still am addicted to riding despite the fact that i could make my injury even more severe. I have been riding for 2.5 years straight. I ride street mostly, but also park. I'm not much of a trails rider. I ride brakes on and off, usually I will ride for 3 months with brakes, then 4 without. I would love to learn everything brakeless. The brakes just help me progress a bit. My parents don't support me riding my bike, because of various reasons. I love photography, I hope one day as a side job I could have the opportunity to take pictures for a big bmx magazine like transworld or dig [us]. I love to travel around the world. I have been to Canada, USVI, Alaska, Parts of Europe [Italy, Venice, Rome, Turkey]. I prefer traveling within the US mainly for language + currency reasons. I don't know what I would do without my bike! Ask for my bmx-forum profile. =]
