I met Jason Friberg about 3-4 years ago at a local private practice track in WI. He came up from IL to ride with his friends and was taking pictures. Since then his hobby of taking pictures has turned into an adventure of going all over the US and having various jobs intertwined in the industry. Anyhow a couple months back he asked for donations to get a kid he saw at an arenacross a new bike as the one he had was in pretty rough shape. Even though he didn't have a new bike the kid was having the time of his life, so Jason thought it would be cool to upgrade him. And he was right....

Awesome. Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to give a bike away but sure would like to have a spare 125 loaned out for the same purpose. A lot of deserving kids out there doing it for the right reasons.

Just a heads up I'm not taking any credit for this (I did donate), Jason did this all on his own I was just sharing what I thought was a cool story.

Jason is an awesome guy. Very giving. He raced our son at the Hoosier ArenaCross in Memphis, and when our son passed away, Jason stepped in big time by auctioning off some of his personal collection of pro jerseys for donations. And we met him one time. That's the kind of guy he is.
