BIG CONGRATS to my friends Jim Dosh and Danny Graber for being able to host the RedBull and Converse pro skate teams at the Greenhurst Skatepark in Mt. Pleasant! I helped Jim build the spine-mini, and spent MANY hours hanging out there on the farm with Jim and Dan. Good times with good friends.

“The bicycle is tied to health, vitality, fun and exercise. The bicycle is one of the least-expensive transportation choices available, as well as a wonderful tool for fitness and fun. The bicycle affects peoples’ lives in very positive ways, and its use contributes to the betterment of the environment.” (Source: NBDA.com)
