We talk about Alex’s early days — being friends with Brian Blyther, discovering BMX, and riding at two of SoCal’s famous spots: the Azusa track and Pipeline Skatepark in Upland.

We get into Alex’s friendship with Bo Usher, how he got his nickname “Super G” from a visit to the POW House, and meeting Chris Moeller, McGoo, Brad McDonald, Bill Ryan, and a lot of other key people who went on to become major figures in the BMX industry.

Alex talks about the days driving to the ABA Grands and winning the Pit Bike race, working at S&M, selling S&M and later Super G t-shirts at the races, and putting on the Super G Jams at Sheep Hills and Twin Palms.

We also talk about some of the riders who were sponsored by Super G Products.

Alex then shares one of the most difficult times in his life — getting shot while riding his bike, waking up in ICU, and going through the long recovery that followed.

This is just Part 1 of Alex “Super G”’s story. I had a great day hanging out with him, hearing his stories, and feeling his love for BMX. Check it out!
