You have been involved in BMX since the mid seventies, can you give us a little rundown how it all started and where you've been?
McGoo: That story could fill a book. Let me give you the short summary of the last 34 years so I don't bore any modern FatBMX readers:
-1974: helped build a BMX track in my home town of Bradenton, FL with neighborhood friends
-1974-1980: I brought up the back of the pack chasing points in expert-class BMX races from Homestead, FL, to upstate New York on the NBL War of The Stars National Series.
