Well, this one is kind of an important column for me. Not only is it number 75, but it’s a piece that I was really stoked to share. Ben Hucke has been someone that I have enjoyed hanging with, shooting with and riding with for years now. He’s got a unique style, does things his own way and has a positive mindset on the regular. He has taken his own path in life, lives each day like it’s his last and truly understands how awesome BMX is. One of the few people who really get it and one of the few who will leave his mark within the riding world. He’s constantly busy raising his son, filming, shooting and working on multiple projects to keep his sponsors happy. His hustle is something that I can respect and on that note, here’s to number 75. It’s been a wild ride and I really appreciate every single person out there that has taken the time to read my column, share my column or just simply enjoy my column. When I get reminded of the fact that there are people out there that look forward to each piece I feel truly grateful to have had this opportunity. Thanks to Kurt, thanks to you, the readers, and thanks to BMX for shaping me into the person that I am today. On that note, let’s learn a little bit about Ben Hucke and show some respect to someone who’s in it for the right reasons.

Diamondback – Lukas and Nate Halahan
This is a good indicator that BMX has a good future. Check out this video of Diamondback‘s young guns Lukas and Nate Halahan ripping it up in Pennsylvania at the Wheel Mill, Imperial and Polish Hill skateparks. These little guys already have a big bag of tricks and it’s a good sign that they can rip a place like The Wheel Mill… That place looks so fun. Check it!

“I spent all summer broke off sitting in the hospital due to an injury, This is the first I have put anything of just myself out since about June of 2012. There isn’t anything crazy in here, It’s hard for me to film seeing how I ride street and I live in Pennsylvania, So it’s the dead of winter right now and every place to ride is about 2-4 hours away from where I live, Plus we’ve been filming for our TdUp DVD. I will have more out soon, Thanks to everyone who checked this out and everyone who has helped me out along the way.
