- Basically to me, the lifestyle… I mean, I love it too. I can’t really go a day without it. It’s kind of like my anti-depressant sort of thing, you know… If I don’t skateboard I feel horrible. I take skateboarding more as an art form than a sport… You can choose your own style. I’ve just gravitated to it since I was a little kid.

I’ve been riding BMX for about 10 years and have loved every minute of it. I really enjoy riding dirt, ramp and mostly street! North Bay doesn’t have the best riding but you just have to keep an open mind and travel a lot. Biking is something very special to me and I could never give it up despite all the injuries. Being hurt and not riding is worse than any broken bone. With all that said, I want to thank Cheapskates for all their help and being a kick butt store. Thanks Barry, Rosie, Jamie and Steve.

- I'm 20 years old and I love to ride bmx bikes. I have been riding for 8 years and my style is mostly street, but I enjoy both dirt and park as well. Something that I love about bmxing is that it's always pushing me past my limits. It gives me the greatest gratification to learn new tricks and teach other riders how to land them too. When I get on my bike, it's almost like I'm in my own world. So I'm always down to explore new spots, and skateparks because there isn't a lot around where I live. Cheapskates is the best place to get bike parts. I've been getting my parts and bikes there since I bought my first bike.
