Terry Adams: Today I’m 40

Today, TA turns 40, and sent through this motivational edit to celebrate, Happy birthday Terry!

“Today I’m 40 and I’ve never been so grateful to be alive on my birthday. Four years ago I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t like what I saw. I had let myself go. I was eating all the wrong shit, I never worked out, and my riding was starting to suffer. I was heading down the wrong path. I told myself in that moment, my goal was to get in the best shape of my life before I turned 40. I didn’t wait until Monday to start.. I walked out my house and started running. I’m stoked on what I accomplished, but there’s more work to be done. I look forward to continuing the journey and I’m excited about the remaining years of my life. I’ll never truly be able to explain the amount of work I did to get where I’m at today. I did however figure out a few interesting details below.

In the last 4 years I’ve ⬇️
– Meditated 346 hours
– Worked out 1,040 days
– Did 6,240 pull-ups
– I’ve done 41,600 sit-ups
– Ran over 624 miles
– Ate 492 cans of tuna
– Woke up at 3:30AM 1,190 days
– Done around 59,500 pulled combos

Don’t ever let someone tell you something can’t be done because of your age, your situation, or any circumstance. It’s your life and your goals. Keep doing what makes you happy and keep pushing forward to get it all accomplished. Happy Birthday to me 🎥 Brock Gomez”

Varo Hernandez: Hang 5 Podcast Episode 36

Tomorrow I fly out to Glasgow, Scotland for the UCI Worlds. Francois just dropped a new episode of the Hang 5 Podcast featuring Varo Hernandez from Madrid, Spain for us all digest…. Good stuff Francois and Varo!

“Growing up in Madrid, our guest today started his BMX journey hustling in the streets of the Spanish capital with his crew of misfits. He soon discovered his love for flatland.
Over the next decade or so, he started to compete, moved to Abu Dhabi to do shows, was one of the first riders on the Martti Kuoppa program, became a product tester for WTP, opened a BMX flatland school in Madrid and got a ride on the Fly bikes program with the aim on working on a flatland specific line. this is the story of Varo Hernandez.”
