Our Ride – aka: The Gatormobile

the_van

Our primary mode of transportation is a 2003 Chevy Express 3500 . It runs on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), which facilitates our riding addiction. That is why our maps also include where all of the local CNG stations are located.

Take a guess at what the license plate reads: G8RBMX, of course!

When you see our “Green Machine,” you know that we are ready to have fun!

 

Working Road Trip… Vegas Baby….

While working in Vegas the week of the 24th-28th I had a great Session at Doc Romeo (Pro) park and an amazing beyond belief session at Anthem. There were only 4 older BMX guys riding so with the park almost empty we had free reign to try new lines and experiment. IT WAS PHENOMENAL!!!!!! The other guys were Vegas locals and had long pants and hoodies on and I am in my shorts and T-shirt sweating and thinking the weather was perfect. Amazing what long term exposure to cold can do to your mind.

Dyno Dino DeLuca!!!!!!

I was so stoked to meet one of my idols from my teens. He was at Chandler and Ripping it up! I saw him pull some serious air on a vert quarterpipe. Can-cans, Look-backs and even a can-can-look-back! I was totally impressed. He is even older than Gator and I and ripping it up. His ride is sweet too. He is on a gold SE quadangle and has sweet dialed We The People wheels with chrome rims. Dino was totally cool and I was able to introduce my two boys to him! He and his friend Ken (originally from Camarillo CA) met at chandler to ride.

Chandler BMX Park!!! AKA HEAVEN!

Completely Radical designed for US not THEM. What an amazing experience. The many lines. And flow of this place are out of this world. Hips jumps spine and vert extensions abound. Everyone was having a blast. Wes had an out of mind experience today. He caught air on the hips and found a few places to fly out and turned off his brain and turned on the speed. His tires were 2 feet off the ground. Catching real air had him giddy with excitement. Justin turned up the volume and air with learning real turndowns.

Exciting morning

It’s 6:00 a.m. They are all up. Could it be that they are excited to go somewhere? All you have to say is Chandler BMX Park.

Even Spencer is up, dressed, and ready. Shocked? That’s how good this place is to ride. Last year Spencer learned tuck no handers at Chandler.

I was up at 5:00 a.m. as usual, but the boys got right up when Wes’ alarm went off.

I asked Wes, “Are you ready for some riding?” He said, “Yes, oh yes.”

The long… LONG, trip to Phoenix

Today we drove from Vegas to phenix arizona… I have never seen soooooooooooooo much NOTHINGNESS!!!!!!!!!!!! The only exciting thing about this drive was the Joshua tree forest, they are so cool looking! At the top it looks like a palm tree and the bottom looks like a pine tree! How awesome is that!? The other exciting thing was we passed a Lamborghini on the freeway! I mean come on how awesome is that? A fifteen passenger van can pass a Lamborghini! Haha guess they have a little work to do!
