Favorite childhood memory?: My Dad turned me onto BMX racing at a young age. Not knowing if I would take to it, he bought me a Huffy. After a short while, I got into it and started doing well at the local races. My Dad refused to buy me a new bike. For Christmas that year he had my huffy pimped out. He had it chrome plated and had all the best parts put on it. It was sweet but it was still a Huffy, and that didn't sit well with me. He always told me "it is not the bike it is the rider" -this is something that has stayed with me over the years.
