    I met Brad when he rode for Merritt, us meeting was actually super random. He was out cruising, I was out cruising and we just crossed paths. I didn’t bother him for long, I was like 16-17 at the time, but it always stuck with me. He was such a genuine person in just the 5mins we talked/met, encouraged me to never give up on riding and my dreams. Probably one of the best guys to ever ride but an even better human. Got a lot of love for Brad and I’m very happy to see him where he is now

    Brad Simms is a beast! Hes already legendary in BMX.. And definitely will be leaving a legacy.. when he ever does leaves!
    These guys deserve so much more money than they get. So many injuries. And putting there life at risk just for a banger clip! And most of these injuries are life long! They sacrifice their bodies & life for these clips. General public that dont know BMX. Has no ideal how much pain it takes to get a banger clip. Alot of times it's worse than being amateur fighter ..fighting a MMA cage fight you get so beat up trying to push the envelope and get that perfect clip on a trick that nobody else has done! Congrats to Brad! Hes finally getting what he deserves..after years of hard riding 😊

    Brad deserves everything he's brought into his life right now and much more to come. Anyone that knows his story and thinks differently is a hater. This guy is a true legend and I'm super happy for him and glad I had the chance to watch him through out his career. It was like having the chance to watch Jordan or Tyson. Same level no doubt.

    Mountainbiking can be done at a respectable level for way longer. I have multiple riding buddies that are over 50 but still do well and still progress. I even used to ride with a 70 year old guy that still rode some pretty serious trails. Can’t see a 40+ rider do much more than cruise around a skatepark or set of trails, unless his initials are BF…
