The Gang

In vegas we have a small core group of stunt riders, we stick together, help one another, but we also pick on each other and keep the progress moving with all the trash talking.


First we have Mr. Nick "Apex" Brocha   (bro shA)   A!, not aw, or chaw, so were clear LOL.
An xdl champion along with many other accomplishments, he is our god father if you will, to put it simply if nick says purple shoe lasses and gum in your hair is the key to all that is great, then we all will look like idiots for at least a few weeks.  Oh and sorry Nick, jacked another pic.



Next we have the cocky punk kid Joel Figueroa, he's really not all bad, it's a just big front. In all seriousness as far as 18 year old kids go he is headed in a good direction and got his head on straight. Amazingly fast learner balls to the wall and he's paid the price by breaking his leg twice in the last year. The injuries have hardly slowed him down, having him at the lot keeps me motivated and trying new tricks, mostly because his mouth never quits!



Another youngster in the group is Joey Reich, at 17 years old this kid is far more mature mentally than me and is the more cautious rider in the group. But don't be fooled joey will make you nervous with the things he is comfortable doing and never break a sweat. He is also a master at the art of drifting and will do any circle wheelie you want, except the seat stander, but it wont be long! were working on it.



Daniel Hadley is a rider from back in the day who decide to take another run at stunt riding and is doing impressively well. A common quote at the spot " Hadley will try it!" dude goes for anything! Your idea, or his, doesn't matter he'll give it a shot. We love him for it.



214 Matt Soures is the veteran at the spot but also the most wide open, typically running at about 16,000 rpms. Him as his dog are some what of a blur, like duel tasmanian devils shredding the place. Matt has also been a huge help to us new comers.



Cassi Doney is my very supportive girlfriend who films for us constantly and helps out how ever she can including, snacks for trips, or loading bikes, whatever. Oh and I practically need Cassi repellant to keep her of my bike!



Whoops does very little but that's perfect. She stays by the truck, protects the chick, and walks out in front of me if she's out of water or just over it and ready to head home. every one thinks they have the best pup ever, but that's only because they haven't met Whoops!




And myself Kris Higdon I find my self somewhere in the mix of it all and I'd have it no other way.
