Have you ever found yourself excited to start a new project, only to watch it fizzle out before you reach the finish line? You’re not alone.

What if our local riding scene still had a website to check for local BMX updates? Every so often I’d come across an old InterBMX.com sticker… I’d also see an old video commercial in an issue of Props. It’d remind me of the soft spot in his heart for one of my first ever BMX […]
