The joys of a happy athlete!

Finally, it has happened...we have found and purchased an actual BMX race bike!! We looked at 3 different shops and found 'the one' at Cap's in Langley. They guys there were so helpful and knowledgeable that we weren't even scared!! The old bike weighs in at 40lbs, the new bike weighs in at under 15lbs....a much nicer way to load the truck!

Here it is....a Ripper Extreme in two tone blue and silver. Matches his race colors and helmet. He wasn't taken with the color and had his eye on a lovely bright yellow number...when he found out it was custom made and was over $1200, he was very happy with the Ripper.

The world BMX races are being held this weekend in Victoria and then he'll be back on our local track trying his hand on the new bike...yeah!!
