Back on the bike again and this week the challenge that I made for myself it's to ride my BMX bike around the race track behind my bike shop! I have been racing there since I was eight years old and I am so excited to still be able to get on the bike and give it a try! I knew it wasn't going to be easy but nothing has been in the last year but I am ready to give it my best shot! I love BMX and I'm so excited to bring you all along on my journey getting back to my BMX life!
(See 'CC' button on the bottom right for subtitles) Argentina is always on of my favorite trips of the year. The culture keeps surprising me, so I thought, why not make a video of my trip?! Enjoy!
