About Me

Well let's see. I started riding when I was 5, which was in 1973. I would watch Evel Knievel on Wide World of Sports on Saturday afternoon, then head right outside and set up some cinder blocks and a board, line up whatever I could find and try to jump it. I broke quite a few Huffys that way. I raced from '81-'84, then the freestyle bug bit. I saved my money and bought a GT Pro Performer, built a 4' wide, 6' tall quarterpipe in the yard and went for it. That year I also saw a show with Ron Wilkerson and Brian Blyther. It was so damn cool watching them ride. I quit riding in 1988, then went into the Army. I started back riding in 2000 racing and did a lot of that until about 2 years ago when all the drama and bullshit that goes with racing got to be too much. I'm now building a 16' wide 5' tall mini, with a spine in the middle in my backyard. There is going to be plenty of grillin and riding at my house this year!
