<p>Four years in a row I have had the great fortune of heading to BC to ride dirt bikes with family and friends. This video taken from Mackenzie's GoPro was taken from our ride day at "The Flats".

<p>The Death of My 450. Looking back now, I really should have named this "The Crushing of My Soul" as my spirit was hurt a lot more than the bike was. I suppose the best way to explain why it was so soul crushing, is to write about what I went through to get that bike.</p> <p>Summer of 2012 is when the cru...</p>
