Description snapshot

15. He is asked, “If you’re to think about it I am sure you would have… I assume, a ton of great memories but do you have a favorite memory that you have taken away from Lititz, the BMX track there?”

He thinks in 1986… Before the Lititz track closed. He raced against a local pro. He thought that was “the coolest thing” and decided that “I want to get on a gate with a pro.”

The two started the conversation to lead to a discussion about building a pump track in Lititz, PA. Their full-length conversation is available at https://youtu.be/atlbARdt2q4?si=V0lTnyXNX0WbpBaP
