As I watch all three kids this weekend all I could do was smile. They were all so proud of their bikes and the work they did. The morning of the regatta the excitement was crazy. The kids were cleaning their bikes and ready to get it started, to put it in one word...AWESOME!!
Bustin' Bs, SS70 and Tres went above and beyond to make this category very special. I want to thank everyone that helped them with getting this all set up, I also want to thank O Soto and Jim and Melissa for the medallion and the loaded tool box! All three of these kids were winners because of all the time and effort that went into this! Thank you all so much!
I also want to thank the judges for going out of their way to tell each kid how special their bike was and how proud they were of them, I know for sure it meant a lot to Shay for them to go out of their way to walk up to her and tell her that. She was beaming from all the compliments.
Josh...congrats kid. For two long years you worked your arse off to get this bike perfect and let me tell you, you did a beautiful job. Your hard work and dedication paid off cuz most kids would have given up. I am so proud of you for winning!!!
Shay and Evan you both did an awesome job on your bikes. I am very proud of both of you for having a goal and getting it done. It's never easy to build a bike and you both did a beautiful job. Congrats, you both deserve it!
Again, thank you so much to everyone that made this possible for these kids. Hopefully this will inspire more kids to build their own. I guarantee it is worth the blood, sweat and tears when it is finally finished...just the time spent with your kids and watching them working hard on their own bike is priceless!
