While on summer vacation back home in Los Angeles after recently graduating San Diego State, Glen Girbovan met up with Chris Bracamonte to film this banger of a short. Since then Glen has taken up a full time adult job up in the Colorado Rockies and can now be found on the slopes ripping it up. Having the natural talent that he does there is no doubt he's turning heads and if we're lucky maybe he'll make another appearance in the BMX scene in the near future.
