Ha I asked my boy what number he wanted and he said "A four and a seven like Ricky and Bubba" He was four. It is cool now because it is Fro's new (and old) number.

612 (6th of dec.)

The day my son, Finn, was born and died.

Wish I got a chance to teach him the sport that I love. So now I run that number, and I named my track after him.

No I wish I did. I don't even have it on video anymore because my DVR crapped out and I had to get a new one. Thanks direct TV.

When I was little it was 182 which was my dads number plus 1. When I started riding again in 88 it was 92 which was my last ABA Pro(BMX) number. In the late 90s there were half a dozen +30 guys in Nor Cal running 92 so I started running 824, my anniversary.

I picked 581, at first it was just going to be 58 like Josh Hill used to have but then I decided to just put a 1 on the end. Ive had it since I started riding.

My big brother ran 8 ever since he earned it with CMC back in the 80s. When he got hurt two years ago, I quit riding for a few months. Now I like to think that I ride "for eight," thus 48.

507 is the last 3 of my AMA number, been using it since 1967 (16 years old). In the Tran AMA days the AMA issued class C license's for MX. I was issued 92 and used that until I was drafted in 1972.

#70

Was my football number growing up and in high school. Also, the first 125 I ever rode happened to be my neighbor's 1997 KX125 and it was a Spitfire/Pro-Circuit practice bike... it had a #70 on it. Was it RC's? I don't know. My neighbor has bought A LOT of team's practice bikes over the years, but he also likes to stretch the truth with some of his stories.

My original # was 72, my 1st number playing football. My 1st race and someone in GA already had my # so I changed to 71. I raced it until i "retired". Now I'm back and run 234 for my 3 boys... They are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of my family...
