Peta Shepherd's Finger
Glenn Milligan sent over this photo of Peta Shepherd's finger. I don't know how old this is, what happened, or how she's doing, but I do know that looks painful.Shawn Garrett off Fit AM Team

Gary Young is now riding for ActionVillage! He joins the already impressive team of Brian Kachinsky, Josh Eilken, Jeff K, and Chris Doyle. Gary had this to say about joining the team:"I just moved into the ActionVillage dorm and I am stoked to hang out with my new neighbors BK, Jeff K, and the D man. We all failed our classes, so it must be time for a road trip."
Here's what Kachinsky had to say about this:
"Gary Young is the Ferdinand Magellan of BMX. He's the guy who navigates all the impossible lines at a park he's never been to but is also kind enough to share them with you. Gary rides like a champ and is always smiling. No matter if he's in a hospital in Thailand or on the X-Games podium, Gary is always a class act. Ever since I met Gary in 2002 he has time and time again amazed me on and off his bike. I look forward to more great times! Welcome to the team Gary!"
Here's what Rick Harold, the owner of ActionVillage, had to say about this:
"We super excited to have the opportunity to work with Gary. Gary is fantastic pro and great all-around guy. We had a very defined strategy ohow we wanted to construct the ActionVillage BMX team and signing Gary rounds out the dynamic that we were seeking. The whole crew at ActionVillage is pumped to work with Gary in the future."
