This month we’re taking a look at Mike Rincon for our Rider Spotlight. Mike is a force to be reckoned with on both his 20″ and his cruiser, and he is a team favorite as a lot of the younger riders love to watch his smooth skills and fast moves in the corners.

Who would you like to thank? My Uncle Joe, Uncle Sam, and Aunt Dina for getting me into racing. Without them, it would have never been possible. My team manager Dave and his wife for their support, my team mates and their parents for watching my bad kids while I practice and race. And Will Harsh, the BMX Guru, for his support throughout all the years, he has been a big help – more than he knows…
