All the years that I have rode little bikes, its been more than going out and trying to learn the new hottest trick, being competitive, maybe it was who I grew up riding w/ , but riding to me is more just hanging out with a group of your best friends talking shit. For me it was sitting in the desert in 110 degree weather talking shit w/ everyone. I was always the youngest so I think I got it the worst, but fuck it, it made me a better person I think haha. Talking shit should be a major priority in a kids life, and especially in bmx. With that said. Ditch crew is what bmx is to me . A giant group of friends who arent scared to talk shit, on each other, or anyone for that matter. And its fucking awesome. So awesome that I asked them all a few questions and frank even edited a little video for the site. Thanks dude!

some dank over ice' Listen to E-40

hear it and that's what the rossi bottles are for. But most people accept the fact that we're "keepin it real"
Frank: -so no one gets a big head, when u break it down ur just a grown man on
a lil kid bikes... Least we tell you to your face
