Before we started working on this project I hadn’t really spent that much time with Jarren so it was awesome to go out ride with him and spent some time to really get to know him better.
He is a great kid, down to earth and down to work.
We started this project out in Mexicali Mexico and from there to San Diengo CA and it was all good times.
