Hi, my name is Andy Savage, i am 14 years old and i love bmx. I ride every single day on my halfpipe and me and my buddies tear up local skateparks. I have been watching a lot of the videosa on this website and i think they are amazing. I have made a few edits of my own, I put them on youtube (my username is ajsavage122) if you could check them out and leave a comment that would mean a lot to me. keep up the good work.

I’m a freshman at UIUC, and I’ve been looking for some trails to ride. I don’t know if anyone on here is interested in letting me know where any are, or interested in maybe helping me get some going, or just interested in riding with me in general. Reply to this if you have anything…
