You've lived in San Diego for a few years now, how is that treating you?
Mike: It's a dream come true. California is a truly amazing place, and an absolute Mecca for bmx and pretty much everything. Next level food. Nice to stay warm all year too and be able to work with all the best media dudes daily. I really enjoy living there.

Still you manage to organise events back in Canada. What's the main reason you're doing that?
Mike: I started an event called Canadian BMX Day a few years back, and the main purpose for our event is to give the local Toronto scene an amazing opportunity to win some prizes and have the most fun day

Dennis Enarson is a World Title Invitee in the Vans BMX Pro Cup Series. Vans wanted to hang with Dennis before he headed out to the first stop of the series in Australia. Make sure to watch out for Dennis killing in the park at each stop of the series!

Vans met up with Haro's Tyler Fernengel in San Diego, California before he headed out to the first stop of the Vans BMX Pro Cup Series in Australia. Be on the look-out for the World Tour Invitee competing in the series.

There are no two ways about it: Dave Mirra was the spark that revitalized Haro in the mid 1990s. Gone were the days of Bob Haro and Ron Wilkerson behind the brand's direction -- it was now Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist designing complete bikes that were affordable, high quality and available worldwide to a new legion of BMX fans. A few years later, the X Games hit, and suddenly, Dave Mirra's signature Haro was on every TV screen of an ESPN subscriber, and demand for his signature bikes and components sky rocketed. Mirra remained an esteemed member of the Haro team through the end of 2006, and then started his own brand, Mirraco, for the remainder of his BMX career. But the majority of Mirra's accomplishments at the top of the sport were done on a signature Haro, and it's where most of us remember him best.

Jason Watts blasts off in San Diego! Any rider who hauls ass on his way into deep concrete bowls is going to be an instant favorite. And wait to you see THAT 360 he starts a line off with, it's just straight up awesome. Speed, style, and the the tricks to complete the package. Decade to manual and hanger to 180 lookback shouldn't look so easy. Easily one of the top videos of the year.​

The rain finally stopped so I went out for a quick ride at The Funspot in Santa Cruz! Things were going soooo good until my seat post literally snapped. OUCH!
