Aptos, California.

Coming to Aptos, California is every dirt jumper's dream. Aptos is the home of many professional bikers such as, Cam McCaul, Greg Watts, Jamie Goldmen, Alex Reveles, Ryan Howard, and many more to come. The most recognized spot in Aptos is the Post Office. The Post Office has been getting some serious upgrades lately, thanks to Jamie Goldmen, Alex Reveles, Ryan Howard, and many other local jumpers in the off season. Many hours go into digging at the Post Office and it shows because the park is phenomenal.

Go to the Post Office any day this time of year and you will see awesome riding going down.

Local photographer Jason Peters has captured some epic photos over the past couple of days:

Thanks to Jason Peters for those awesome photos!

So keep your eyes open for names like Guy French, Mike Hoenisch, Jacob Hyde, Jesse Nickell, and Jack Fogelquist just to name a few. All these riders have a great positive influence on younger riders around Aptos and have the skills to pay the bills. I have had the opportunity to meet all these riders over the past couple of months. Hanging out with them has been so much fun. Watching these kids shred is awesome. I have collected a large album of dirt jumping photos of these kids. Here are just a few of them along with some pro shots.

Brendon Semenuk:

Cam McCaul:

Guy French:


Jesse Nickell:

Mike Hoenisch:

Jacob Hyde:

Ryan Howard:

Thanks to all the riders and good luck!
