Jonathan Comacho – Riding For A Dream

November 8, 2016

It’s always pretty interesting seeing where BMX can take somebody, and it’s always really interesting to see where they came from and what it took to make a dream like becoming a professional rider a reality. It’s a lot easier from somebody with plenty of resources than it is for a rider that doesn’t have much to work with. Despite the challenges, Jonathan Comacho has worked hard to make it possible for him show everyone what he’s capable of on a bike. Unfortunately, without sponsors and more to help keep Jonathan on the move, it gets complicated quickly to maintain the constant travel schedule for contests and more. Above is a video giving you a little insight into what it has taken for Jonathan to get out there so far, but he needs a little help making the next move. There has been a GoFundMe page setup to help support him to hopefully make this dream of being a pro rider a reality. You can check that all out RIGHT HERE. Maybe this will put him on a few brands radars as well.

“Jonathan Camacho is a world class freestyle BMX rider. He comes from a small beach town in Ecuador called Playas Villamil. Growing up under the injustice of poverty, he knows that only with determination and drive will he be able to conquer the obstacles in the way of his dreams.

At age 14, he build his own BMX ramp at home. Since then, with support of his friends, family and local sponsors, he manage to compete and win many titles internationally. Now, at age 23, after competing at the FISE World Series 2016, he has positioned himself among the world’s top ten.

Unfortunately, freestyle BMX is not yet an olympic sport, making him dependent on private donors and local sponsorship. FISE and partners are pushing hard to make it an olympic sport in time for the next games, that way, talented athletes like Jonathan who have limited or no access to training facilities, sponsorship and mentorship can aspire to professional careers.

In the meantime, Jonathan needs our help in order to continue competing at the highest levels. Travel, equipments and medical expenses add up over the course of the competitive season, and Jonathan needs our support to remain competitive.
