When I was 12 years old, I went to a 2-day motocross school at Swan Cycle Park in Texas and Tony DiStefano was the instructor. It cost me $300 (hey that was alot in '82) and I mowed yards and saved up my money so I could go meet one of my heros. The funny part is, I had bought my motocross boots at a garage sale.. they were Tony D boots and when he saw them he was like hey kid those are really cool boots (they were actually all worn out) and after school was over on saturday, he hung around and chatted with me for about a half hour and answered all my questions about his career and winning the motocross des nations.

Yeah its no big deal but when you're 12 years old and one of your sports heros just hangs out to talk to you... its really fuckin cool
