Jason, www.expn.com, december 2000: That's my first cover. I was pretty excited. It was good. I never expected to get on the cover; so it was awesome. We ended up going to [Comax, on Vancouver Island, BC]. None of us had ever been there before. I just started trying to jump the hip and Losey just shot and shot and shot. He probably shot 50 or 60 photos of that hip; I guess we got at least one good one out of it. When it came out, Brian Castillo called me and told me that I got the cover. I thought he was just kidding me because I'm always telling him that I'm going to be on the next cover, just messing with him. He's like "You're on the new cover," and I thought totally for sure he's messing with me, but then Mark called me later and told me. It was quite a surprise. I was psyched. That's been a goal of mine for a long time, too. A cover shot is so important. I was just excited that it was me. I never woul've thought it would happen. It seems to be the big times.

Jeff Zielinski, Ride BMX US #100: Issue 61 featured the first Sombra tour with Ells, Ratboy, Gonz, "Smoker" Dave, Edwin Delarosa, etc. The article mentioned a lot of what happened, except that I got left at a gas station in Louisiana for 30 minutes before they realized I was missing.

Jeff Zielinski, Ride BMX US #100: Out of the nine photos/sequences in the John "Ratboy" Wrigley interview in issue 62, seven of them were shot within or near the same park as the "wedge" in Phoenix, Arizona. To say he worked every inch of the place would be an understatement.

Mark Losey, www.ridebmx.com: During the "One Day Photo Blitz" photographers around the country had to go out and shoot photos on the same day. Mike "Big Island" Castillo went to shoot with Mat Hoffman, but Mat didn't want to do anything he had done 1,000 times before. So he hooked his daughter onto him with a harness and then rode vert with her strapped to the front of him. The photos were unbelievable, especially the one where Mat did a no-hander while cradling the baby. Upon closer inspection, though, it wasn't really his daughter. It was a "Chucky" doll from the Child's Play movies.

La Revolution.
Mark Losey, www.ridebmx.com: The night before the Dave Mirra Super Tour started, Ryan Nyquist's ramp saw one of the most incredible sessions ever. Dave, Nyquist, Osato, Darden, McCoy, Mackay, Laird-so many people were going nuts. The highlight, however, had to be Mirra doing a giant carving alley-oop 360 over the spine while Ryan did a double-peg over and back on the spine underneath them.
