In this episode I introduced what I'm doing here at athlete career development and at the end of the episode I talked about some athletes confused having fun riding their bike or racing with having a job as a professional athlete.

Talking points;

Do you have the drive to do the cold morning training rides?

Having to get up at 5:00 a.m. to do a 7:00 a.m. practice? Who wants to ride their bike at 7:00 a.m. in the cold?

Having semis and mains late at night. How many times have you went to the BMX track or the trails at 9:00 p.m. to go ride? "I do all the time said no one ever."

Those were my sentiments the last 2 years of being a bmx bike racer.

In this episode I answer a question from a father and son asking about a career as a cyclist

In the 1970s and Junior High School and High School skateboarding pool riding and skatepark riding was blowing up big time. I was fortunate to have access to my father's Mustang, this would enable me to travel and session at empty pools, ride local skateparks all around La and Orange County..

So much documentation about Dogtown and Z boys, there's a whole other side to the scene, skateboarding scene that hasn't been documented and made public officially.
