I love it. I have always thought Ron to be so interesting and fascinating.

Only complaint: Couldn't we have included at least ONE class picture from the California youth years?

Nice job Jake and thanks for taking the time Ron!

Cool interview. No one can accuse you of never going out on a limb and doing your thing.

Awesome. RC is one of the most interesting people I know for sure. I'm so glad this Spotlight was done on him. Like Steve mentioned, I know there are more stories from the BMX days, the punk days, today, and everything in between that you haven't told here before. I look forward to hearing more and more.

And I think it's already been mentioned that Ron's a stand up guy always willing to help out where he can. If I'm in need of something in particular for a bike I'm working on, there are a handful of people I know I can turn to right away -- Ron's definitely one of those guys.

Great interview Jake. Keep it coming guys!

Ron is one of those members that when you see his name on a post, it's sure to be informative, educational or entertaining. He keeps his hand on the pulse of the community better than anyone I know. Definitely an asset to BMXsociety and the sport of BMX.

Cheers

I am lucky to have met ron via a cl ad a couple of years ago. we have been friends ever since. Best part is, i get to hear all those stories right from his mouth out in the garage. Great guy and great interview.

Cool interview.

Ray Caselli's old Panic Mouse boat is currently being restored right now. I doubt it'll race Long Beach again but cool nevertheless.

Here's 36 pages(and counting) of the resto...

That was a cool interview, I actually just got to talk to mr Freshour himself and it was awesome to share stories and info of the 80's bmx scene and he told me he was gonna try to find his old sticker kits that is gonna help me out big he also said he had a pair of his bars he built back in the day hoping he finds them too
