here we go……

I was in the 6th grade when I saw my first issue of BMX Plus. It was life changing. The colorful bikes, how to do tricks sequences, and Radical Rick. It seemed to happen overnight. The neighborhood went from bmx racing to bmx freestyle. I was hooked, it made complete sense. This is what I was meant to do.

When I got to the 7th grade skateboarding had a revival. But this time no slalom courses and kick turn ramps to powerslide on. No more plastic decks. We now had wide boards with amazing art on the bottom. The pros skated with raw aggression and power fueled by punk rock. Here’s that feeling again, just like with bikes. I had my love for bmx and skateboarding had become its mistress.

Bmx always seemed to edge out skateboarding. I loved them both equally. I still do. So here we are almost 40 years later, I’m 54, my body is beat up pretty bad. I’ve been tough on it. Bmx, skateboarding, hockey, and 20+ years of factory work took its toll. I still roll around when I can and the factory work is far behind me. So, what do I do now? I still love bikes and skating like I did when I first saw it. Well, it’s a love/hate but a lot more love than hate. With all that being said… everyone, I give you… Subdivisions.
