I can't thank Ronnie and the whole Sparkys family for the opportunity they've provided me over the past two years. Being teammates with Rickey Bates and Tony Neyer was the best and I'll never forget how much fun we all had together, with that being said I'm also ready to move on and see where it road takes me. I'm excited and have a lot of new energy coming into this year, I'll be filming two full length video parts; ShadowBmx w/Ryan Chadwick and Danscomp w/ Stew Johnson over the next 18 months. Psyched to be out traveling, seeing and meeting friends all over, overall just having fun riding bikes." - Ben Hucke
