I figured it’s been a while since we caught up, so I thought I’d hit him up with a few questions to find out what’s new. Let’s see what he had to say!
Name: Cooper Jay Brownlee

“Here we are! Riding bmx at WoodWard West, California!
Traveling all the way from Tuscon, Arizona comes David Peraza, Gerardo Martin A.K.A. “Wero”, Victor Munoz from Chile, And Filming for the trip Christopher Hana A.K.A. “El Gringo”!
Woodward West has some of the best facilities I’ve ever seen for bmx park, if you’ve ever thought about a place to go for trying out any high flying, crazy trick, this is the place to go!
“just go out and have some fun riding your bike”
“Diviertete en tu Bci” – David Peraza
Taking off at 10pm From Tuscon, Arizona, we drove through till hitting riverside to drop off my brother, Kevin Peraza, for the US Open of Surfing bmx event. Heading through San Bernardino we picked up Chris Hana, and headed off to Woodward West for some week long fun.
After getting to Woodward West a day in, David was hurting from a previous shoulder injury, so he wasn’t able to ride at his best for the duration of the trip, but he still had fun 🙂 Wero was going good until he biffed it a few too many times on his Backflip Double Tailwhip attempts, and landed a bit on his shoulder after falling off to the side. he was glad though it happened to him on the last day of the trip though!
Woodward West is located at Tehachapi, California, about 40miles from Bakersfield, and 115 Miles from Los Angeles.
