I grew up riding in these tennis courts at Brandt Park in Oak Lawn almost every single day. I had some shows in Oak Lawn, so I decided to drop by and see if the courts were still there and still rideable.
The kids at the park started freaking out from the first trick. You can hear in them react in the audio of the first riding clip. It was so funny, and they all wanted autographs.
25 years ago I would often get kicked out of these tennis courts by the cops or threatened with violence from neighborhood thugs. Who would have thought that 25 years later I would be signing autographs.
It's also crazy that I'm wearing a Hoffman Bikes shirt in 1994 and now I ride for Hoffman.
