Random story: I actually drove by this place a few times in the last few months and it was super confusing to me. It looked like a BMX track, but it was obviously not finished and I couldn't really get a good look at it. Little did I know that it was an in-progress bike park that was free and open to the public. I headed out the grand opening for a little pre-session with the dudes and here's the raw cut along with a GoPro preview of the park thanks to Anthony Napoiltan and Justin Mclintock. If you're in the San Diego area, check out the Sweetwater Bike Park at 6065 San Miguel Rd, Bonita, CA. It's open from 9:30am to sunset. Fair warning, they don't allow pegs because of the nature of the way the place is made.
Hucker has made a career out of being an absolute beast on a bike, but let's not forget that he's a consummate entertainer. And, the key trick in that entertainment arsenal is the bar ride.
On a very warm day a couple months ago, I took a very informative tour of the monolithic operation that is the ODI Grip factory. They literally churn out grips 24 hours a day, five days a week. Unreal.
Leandro Moreira recently held a dirt jumping contest known as Super BMX Dirt at his local Caracas trails outside São Paulo, Brazil. The Caracas jumps are massive and they attracted a bunch of amazing South American riders, as well as US pros Anthony Napolitan and Mike “Hucker” Clark.
