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.”

2nd Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Weekend Road Trip Begins
We are headed south again! This is the second year we have gone to Las Vegas, Nevada and Chandler, Arizona to ride over the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend. The weather looks like it will be on our side this year. Clear and 63 in Las Vegas on Saturday. Clear and 71 in Phoenix on Monday.
It is a quick trip, but we are all excited! We were able to get on the road at 3:00 p.m. We should be in Las Vegas by 8:00 p.m. local time. I love getting that extra hour.
