I started keeping a daily journal way back in 1987 when I was only 15 years old. Back then I was a just a freshman in high school. Since then, every single freakin' day of my life has been documented in these journals. If it happened in my life, then I wrote it down & documented it. And believe me; I've got some stories to tell! Looking back over the years, here is a journal entry that stands out and also my comments looking back now. Hoffman Contest- Daytona FL November 18th, 1995
Actual Journal Entry We went to the skatepark & rode for a while. Then I did my two qualifying runs & qualified in 7th. I rode better in the finals & got 5th. That's cool. At night,
Dave Mirra, Sean Hargraves & I ate & then Sean dropped us off at a club. A zillion BMXers were there. All of us were acting real silly on the dance floor. Then they were trying to kick a BMXer out & I punched the bouncer & he got me in a head lock on his third try.
