THE QUEST TO THE BMX SHOP!

Yesterday, 7th period I went to a Bmx pro shop and interviewed some bmxers and watched them show me and my classmates tricks on the the bmx bikes . My assignment was to interview the BMX pro, Desmond Rhodes a.k.a Blackman. He was a laid back guy so I felt comfortable straight away. Though Im not sure he was. Desmond wasn’t really a good interviewee but from what I saw and his surroundings I saw that’s why he was acting like he was. Desmond 19 years of life didn’t really have such a good child hood because before bmxing he was creating mischief and from he told me bmx saved his life.
As I continued to interviewed to Desmond aka Blackman and as I was talking to him I noticed that some of these bmx professionals were kind of nervous and probably never had interviews before. After I finish up with my interview some of the bmxers showed us some tricks and hints on how to ride a bmx bike. After a while I felt kind of interested in bmxing.
