The little dude is 9 today. It's been almost 5 years now since his first appearance on this site when he was launching speed bumps and stairs at 4 years old.

He's still riding/racing but he's become a very well rounded boy taking interest in everything from reading to airsoft to baseball (first game on the 11th)

[Leppah]

awesome pics!

IT's weird. I don't have any kids of my own. My fiance has two. One is a 9 year old girl. When i popped up, she didn't do anything active. So i took introduced her to mountain biking, indoor bmx racing, and soccer. She's so happy that i've done that stuff with her. If i wasn't just a big kid myself, she probably still wouldn't be doing anything active since her father won't take her. It's weird to see how they progress. Makes you proud.
Happy bday little duder.

Happy Birthday Son of Beef Jerky!

lol!! i totally forgot about that! nothing like getting heckled by your kid and being called "beef jerky"!

almost as bad as when i was debating on hitting the 15 footer at santos and he egged me on with, "c'mon dad...don't be a chump!"



AMS: can't make it tonight, taking him to celebration station for a little family party while my mom-in-law is in town. i've been needing a little WS urban action, might have to drop by your shop one day next week.
