Anairis
My name is Anairis. I’m 32 years old, born and raised in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and now call Davenport, Florida, home. I ride a KTM RC390, and her name is Phoenix—a name that speaks to strength, transformation, and the fire riding has sparked inside me. She isn’t customized yet, but for this chapter of my journey, she’s exactly what I need. As a new and growing rider with just nine months on two wheels, every ride teaches me something—about confidence, discipline, and freedom. I got into riding because I wanted to challenge myself, to step into something powerful that belonged entirely to me. Riding gives me peace, adrenaline, and a sense of control that clears my mind like nothing else. My dream bike is a GSXR1000, and one day, I hope to bring one home—fully built to match my style and personality. Yes, I’ve had a few learning moments —every rider does. But every fall, every challenge, has only made me stronger, more resilient, and more determined. My goals are simple but meaningful: to keep improving my skills, ride with confidence, and inspire other women—especially moms and Latina riders—to chase what makes them feel alive. Riding has become part of who I am, and I’m excited to keep growing, learning, and discovering new roads. Why do I ride? Because riding makes me feel alive. It gives me independence, clears my thoughts, and reminds me that I can conquer anything I set my mind to. Advice to other riders: Ride your own ride. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Stay focused, stay humble, and never stop learning. Respect the road—and always protect your peace. Instagram: @xanairisx
Hector was born and raised in Tampa, Florida, and now calls Town ’n’ Country home. Two wheels have been part of his life for as long as he can remember. He rides a 2022 Yamaha YZ450 Monster Edition—his dream bike—and it’s more than just a machine; it’s a symbol of passion, freedom, and the lifestyle he’s building. Hector’s love for riding started at just seven years old. Growing up, his dad was a motorcycle enthusiast with his own collection, and he made sure Hector always had a bike of his own. His first was a YZ70, and from that moment, bikes were in his blood. Riding came and went over the years, but two years ago, something sparked it all back to life. Hector stumbled across a video from Los Aliados Bikelife on Instagram. Inspired, he went out and bought a YZ125— and he hasn’t stopped riding since. Like every real rider’s journey, Hector has had his moments. The first fall came just two days into practicing wheelies— minor injuries, nothing major. But the second crash hit harder. About four months later, at their practice spot while working on slow wheelies, he clipped a side-by side. The bike wobbled, landed on his foot, and he fractured his ankle in two places. He spent nearly a month in a cast—but even that couldn’t slow down the passion. Through it all, his goal remains simple: keep riding, keep improving, have fun, and build his brand— Bandit. For Hector, riding is more than stunts and speed. It’s freedom. It’s the energy, the adrenaline, the community, and the love that riders share with one another. It’s a beautiful thing, he says. His message to other riders: “Ride safe. Stay alert. Don’t rush the learning process—be patient. Your time will come.” Instagram: @bandit official rbl “LIKE OUTLAWS ON THEIR HORSES, WE RIDE!”

Merry Christmas And A Happy New Year
DJ
My name is DJ, born and raised in the heart of Orlando, Florida and I still call it home today. Growing up surrounded by bikes, engines, and that Florida ride-or-die bike life culture, riding has always been more than just a hobby to me — it’s been a part of who I am for as long as I can remember. I’ve been riding since I was a little kid. My first taste of the two-wheel life was on a Honda CRF 50cc, a tiny bike with a big impact That first ride sparked something in me — excitement, freedom, adrenaline and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since But it wasn’t until 2021 that I really got into wheelies and started taking riding to another level I started off wheeling dirt bikes, but later transitioned over to quads… and that move changed everything. Today, I ride my dream machine a 2000 Yamaha Banshee, stock OEM, raw, powerful, and iconic. The Banshee has always been the bike for me nothing rides, sounds, or feels like a Banshee. There’s a connection you feel with it the vibration, the torque, the scream of those dual cylinders it’s wild, it’s unpredictable, and it’s perfect. I can wheelie dirt bikes and quads, but there’s just something about the Banshee that keeps me coming back. It’s different. It’s my kind of different. Like every real rider, I’ve taken my share of hits I’ve fallen more times than I can count — definitely more than five — but every single time, I got back up, dusted off, and kept going Because that’s what riding teaches you: how to fall, how to rise, how to push forward Every scar comes with a story, every fall comes with growth Why do I ride? Because the moment I’m on that bike, the world goes quiet. Stress, problems, distractions all of it fades away. It’s just me, the machine, and pure freedom. Riding clears my mind in a way nothing else can. It gives me a rush, a sense of peace, and honestly, a little therapy. There isn’t another feeling like it and I chase that every time I twist the throttle. My advice for other riders is simple: Don’t stop. Keep going no matter what. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, how long it takes to get it right, or what challenges come your way. If you want it, if you love it, if riding is in your heart — then keep pushing. Because once you really feel what it’s like, you’ll know exactly why we never stop IG: @d fuegoo

Giia Zee, a 25-year-old rider originally from Colorado and now living in Texas, has been twisting throttles for eight years. Her passion for motorcycles runs deep— it’s in her blood. Introduced to riding by her mom, who grew up on dirt bikes and now rides a Harley, Giia first learned to ride in high school. Her very first bike was a 2006 Kawasaki ZX-10R, and since then, her love for two wheels has only grown stronger. Today, she rides a WR250X and a Kawasaki 636 both fully stunting machines equipped with cages, handbrakes, upgraded suspension, and dual fans. While they don’t yet have names, each bike represents a piece of her story, built and modified with precision and passion. Like many in the stunt world, Giia has faced her share of crashes. She’s endured a broken femur, a large flesh wound, and a torn ACL along the way. But those injuries only fueled her determination to come back stronger. Her dream isn’t focused on one specific bike—it’s to one day own one from every class and keep expanding her collection. Beyond her personal goals, Giia’s mission is to pave the way for other female riders to chase their stunt-riding dreams. The female riding community is still small, and she believes it takes a united effort—a village—to build something meaningful that all women can benefit from, whether through shows, gigs, or personal brands. For Giia, riding is more than a hobby —it’s freedom. It’s her escape from reality, the purest form of peace she’s ever known. The opportunities that have come from it, including business ventures, are blessings, but at the heart of it all, she rides for the love and the feeling that nothing else can replace. Her advice to others is simple yet powerful: your path is your own. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Ride for passion, trust the process, and work hard—because you’re capable of anything you put your mind to. Outside the lot, Giia channels her creativity into her business, Verbatiim Designs, where she specializes in custom motorcycle wraps. Through her work, she hopes to give riders the chance to express their individuality and style—another way she’s contributing to the riding community she loves.

Cxntrolled Chaos: The Ride, The Road, The Relentless Rise of Madden Some know him as Madden Others recognize him instantly from the tag that echoes across parking lots, rideouts, and late-night edits @Cxntrolled Chaos At just 21 years old, Madden has already lived a rider’s lifetime of miles, lessons, broken parts, healed bones, and nonstop forward motion. Born in Korea, raised in Webster, Massachusetts, and now based in San Diego with months long stays in places like Japan—his life has been shaped by travel, culture, and two wheels Wherever he lands, there’s always a bike waiting for him, and a community ready to ride A Rider of All Things If it has two wheels, Madden will throw a leg over it He’s owned everything from sportsters and dirt bikes to supermotos and the full spectrum of 600-class sportbikes. But his heart always finds its way back to the classics—especially the timeless Honda F4i His most recent setup tells the story perfectly: a fully-stunted ’03/’04 Kawasaki 636 paired with a brand-new 2024 KTM 125SX running nothing but street tires One bike built to take punishment One kept bone-stock—because sometimes simplicity is the point The Spark That Started It All Madden’s journey began like many modern stunters: glued to YouTube, watching the OGs— BloxStarz, Streetfighterz, and the early legends who defined what sportbike stunting could look like He didn’t just admire them He studied them That obsession turned into action at 14 years old, when he got his first dirt bike a 2000 Suzuki RM125 Trails became street sessions, and street sessions became daily practice across Massachusetts and Connecticut At 16, he bought a DRZ-400 and learned the fundamentals of stunting the hard way—by doing it, failing it, and trying again. At 17, everything changed He picked up a 2002 Honda CBR600 F4i from his friend Cam, transferred all his dirt-bike skills onto asphalt, and built his first real stunt bike That bike opened the door to his first crew, Stunter Society, and later, after moving west, to the Stunt Daily family in San Diego both groups shaping him into the rider he is today Dreaming Forward Despite everything he’s already owned and accomplished, Madden still has a dream build: a new-generation, fully stunted Ninja 636 He’s always ridden the older platforms Now he wants something fresh something brand new to grow with The Falls, the Fights, the Wins Madden has gone down more times than he can count and he says it with zero shame Every crash, every scar, every setback has paid off Some of his proudest milestones include: • Hitting the OG trick, the Watch Tower • Landing the “Brazilian Backflip,” one of his hardest and most rewarding moves • A famous Harley save that shot his name through the stunt world • Countless small wins that only stunters understand—tiny breakthroughs that mean everything A Rider’s Purpose Ask Madden why he rides, and the answer is simple: “I ride to ride I ride to live, feel life, feel peace, and feel free ” Stunt riding, for him, is more than tricks. It’s progression. Accomplishment. Chasing the feeling every rider knows the moment you touched a bike for the first time and felt something come alive inside you No matter how many times he crashes or how often he rides, that feeling never fades Riding is therapy Riding is home Goals on the Horizon Right now, Madden is chasing higher-level precision: • No-hander sit-down circles • Kangaroo stoppies • Consistent trick progression once he returns from his time in Japan Long-term, he wants to travel the world to ride with the entire stunt community, hit ride-outs across the country, and maybe compete though he admits competitions are slowly disappearing from the sport Words for the Ones Coming Up “Do it for you never for Instagram, never for views ” Madden carries the message of riders who rode before clout ever existed He reminds new riders that the bike gives life as easily as it can take it. Be grateful. Be humble. Be positive. And be a good human For stunters specifically, he has a different message: “Don’t feel limited Build your own style Try everything Fail, then try again The only limit is the one you put on yourself ” The People Who Lifted Him Up Madden doesn’t ride alone, and he never pretends he does He gives special thanks to: • The entire San Diego scene • The Stunt Daily crew, who helped shape him on and off the bike • Stunter Society, the true Day Ones back home in Massachusetts These are the people who cheered, coached, pushed, laughed, and rode with him all the way to where he is now Follow the Journey Instagram: @cxntrolled chaos

CHASINTACOS
CHASE “CHASINTACOS” From Gainesville to Jacksonville — Riding, Faith, and Full-Throttle Purpose My name is Chase, better known as Chasintacos, and I’m 21 years old. I was born in Gainesville, Florida, and now I’m based in Jacksonville—where two wheels, good people, and purpose have shaped the life I’m building. I’ve been riding for about two and a half years, but bikes always called my name. When I blew up my car, I took it as a sign—and the perfect moment to convince my parents to finally let me get a motorcycle. I started with a Ninja 400, and not long after, I fell in love with everything about riding. Today, I ride a CRF450RL, a Honda Grom, and a Ducati Streetfighter V2. I don’t name my bikes, but one of them definitely has a personality—my Grom is fully decorated with over 1,400 zip ties, and yes, I added every one of them. Dream Machines? • Dream Superbike: Ducati Panigale V4R • Dream Supermoto/Dirt Bike: CRF450RL • Dream ADV Bike: Yamaha Tenere 700—must have cruise control, lol • Dream Daily Bike: Yamaha MT-09 • Original Dream Bike: 2017+ Yamaha R6 (and yes, I regret selling my 2020 R6) I’ve had a couple tumbles, mostly on my Grom (if you know, you know)—but that’s part of the story. Nothing major, just lessons learned. For me, riding is enjoyment, purpose, and faith. I don’t just ride to go fast—I ride to feel alive, to connect, and to make an impact. I truly believe motorcycles can be a platform to spread faith, which is why my friends and I started Church on 2, a Christian riding group centered around community, purpose, and faith on two wheels. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: It’s not all about going fast. If you catch yourself only riding to go fast, take a break. I personally took a full year off the bike because I realized I was riding for speed and adrenaline—not for the love of riding. Taking that break helped me rediscover why I ride in the first place. My goal is simple but meaningful: I want to be decent at all styles of riding—street, stunt, track, dirt, adventure—and grow my social media presence enough to do this full time.

MONOPOLY: THE ADRENALINE DEALER FROM VOLUSIA COUNTY From BMX tracks to Surron Mega rides, the road has always called his name Some riders chase speed. Some chase freedom. But for Tony—known across the Florida stunt scene as Monopoly the ride has always been something deeper It’s been a lifestyle, a lifeline, and a ticket to memories found only on the edge of adrenaline. At 28 years old, he’s based out of Volusia County, but his story stretches much farther. Born in New York, shaped by the streets of South Florida, and eventually calling Central Florida home, Monopoly’s roots are as versatile and unconventional as the bikes he rides From a young age, wheels were obsession not just transportation. He started on BMX tracks, racing dirt jumps and pushing boundaries before most kids even owned a helmet. By college, he had moved on to street bikes. It wasn’t just about speed—it was about the hypnotic rhythm of the throttle, the challenge of balance, the split-second decisions, the freedom of being in motion Riding wasn’t a hobby; it was a pulse Today, he owns and rides multiple bikes—both electric and gas—and every single one of them is built with one thing in mind: stunt performance His lineup is uniquely his, headlined by his pride and joy—his KTM supermoto. Once a 5-speed motocross race bike, he transformed it with KKE wheels, lights, and a full handbrake setup, converting it into a street-legal stunt weapon It’s gritty, aggressive, raw—and perfect, because it feels like him. But the garage doesn’t stop there. He has a Surron build he cruises around on lightweight, electric, and wildly addictive And most recently, he added a Yamaha R7 to his fleet—sleek, agile, and nimble, built to perform. The common denominator? Every single one of his bikes is fitted with a handbrake setup For him, that’s non-negotiable Control is everything His early bikes weren’t glamorous—Chinese street-legal enduros, a vintage 1980s Suzuki cruiser, even a Suzuki GSX-F Katana They weren’t built for perfection, but they were perfect for learning. They started a fire. But his dream build? A Ducati Desmo 450 converted to a stunt supermoto precision, power, and style all in one vicious package Still, he admits—after owning a Kawasaki ZH2—there’s a part of him that dreams of chasing pure, unfiltered speed on a Kawasaki H2R. “That bike,” he says, “is a drug all on its own ” Yet not every memory has been a good one. Some left scars. One day on Interstate 4, he was hit by a car at high speeds The crash was violent and unforgiving He walked away but not unchanged. Riding suddenly felt different. Fear crept in where adrenaline used to live. He kept riding, but somewhere deep in his mind, doubt lingered. Until something new found him It wasn’t loud It wasn’t gas-powered It didn’t even have gears. It was electric. Thanks to Colorado Cadi and events like “The Surron Mega ride,” Monopoly discovered the electric bike scene and everything changed. The fear faded. Passion reignited. The thrill was returned. Riding felt new again, like the first time he ever touched a throttle. Electric bikes gave him control, freedom, agility—and opened the door to something bigger Rideouts turned into friendships. Friendships turned into a community. The community turned into a purpose Those electric Rideouts across the United States introduced him not only to a new style of riding, but also to the underground world of stunt culture gas bikes, handbrake finesse, no-excuses throttle control, parking lot precision It changed him as a rider It gave him a goal It made him hungry. Now, he’s working toward one of his biggest riding milestones yet competing in the Mini GP racing season in 2026 But that’s not his only vision. His other passion lives under the name Monopoly Garage—his own riding apparel and gear brand. More than just merch, it’s built around protection. Armored hoodies. Riding bags. Gear designed by a rider, made for riders. The mission? To help riders stay protected without losing style—or that signature stunt swagger Today, Tony rides for the same reason he always has—because it gives him that rush nothing else can. Because he finds peace in speed and clarity in motion Because every ride makes him feel alive And because on two wheels, life feels exactly as it should—wide open. His advice for every rider?

Li’Andra Jynxx Smith
My name is Li’Andra “Jynxx” Smith, I’m 28 years old, born and raised in Jacksonville, Florida, and still holding it down in my hometown. I’m a USMC veteran, and I’ve always been someone who needs freedom, open space, and something that challenges me. Riding gave me all of that and more. I ride a 2014 Harley Ultra Limited Street Glide—my first bike—and I call him Midnight. The only changes I’ve made so far are Vance & Hines exhaust, JST handlebars, and heated grips, keeping it simple while I continue learning and growing as a rider. I don’t necessarily have a “dream bike,” but I’ve been exploring the newer Street Glides and Road Glides as my next move. What drew me into riding, especially long-distance riding, was the peace. Nothing clears my mind the way the road does. And like any rider, I’ve had my moments—two minor falls and, most recently, an accident that left me with stitches and a totaled bike after nearly two weeks on the road. My proudest accomplishment so far is completing my cross-country ride in celebration of my two-year riding anniversary. That trip tested me mentally and physically, and it showed me exactly what I’m capable of. Now my goal is to take on even more long hauls—and to inspire more women to get out here and ride, too. Why do I ride? Because it keeps me grounded. Riding is my reset button. My happiness lives on the open road and in the spaces between the mountains. My advice to other riders: Your ride is yours and yours alone. Take your time, plan your trips, and always care for your bike—so it can take care of you in return. Instagram: @JynxxRevved
TAVO
From Puerto Rico to Orlando — The Ride That Built Me IG: @yosoytavopr My name is Gustavo, but everyone just calls me Tavo. I’m 28 years old, born and raised in Puerto Rico, and now I call Orlando home. My heart beats for motorcycles, and right now, that heartbeat is a 2020 KTM 690 SMC R supermoto—her name is Loyal. She’s not just any bike. Loyal is fully customized to my vision, built by THE LAB by FreddyKTM, and crafted exactly the way I dreamed. She’s got KTM Duke rims, upgraded disc brakes, Flexx handlebars, titanium bolts, custom graphics, LED headlights and brake lights, a styled license plate setup—every detail touched and tuned for personality and performance. The motor may still be stock, but everything around it screams style, passion, and purpose. My love for motorcycles started when I was just six years old. Someone gifted me a battery operated motorcycle, and the moment I felt that little machine move—feeling happiness, freedom, adrenaline—I knew I was hooked for life. I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since. Funny enough, my very first real bike is actually the one I bought myself—this KTM 690. Every bike before was a gift, but this one? This one was earned with my own work, my own sacrifice, and God’s help. That makes Loyal more than a bike. She’s a milestone. Falling? It’s part of the journey. In this life, if you haven’t fallen, you haven’t truly ridden. Every fall is a lesson, every scrape a reminder that biking is passion, commitment, and resilience. It’s a steppingstone, not a setback. My biggest goal is to keep uniting riders and countries through this passion we share. Bikelife is more than just riding it’s culture, it’s freedom; it’s something beautiful that flows through our veins. Thanks to God, and alongside FreddyKTM, we’ve come far in this movement. We’ve made our presence felt at Rideouts, events, expos, and bike shows sharing the love, honoring every build we see, and representing with pride. The dream? To keep traveling, keep connecting, keep showing up and one day, compete and represent the biggest international motorcycle expos and events around the world. My advice to every rider, especially those just starting out work hard for your bike and earn it. Don’t hate others, don’t steal, don’t cut corners. Be humble, respectful, and appreciate what you build. Work for it, pray for it, and ride for it. Because life? You only get one. Live it. Ride it. Own it. Tavo

Joey Turnage: Built From Steel, Fueled by Wheelies At 29 years old, Joey Turnage represents the true spirit of North Carolina stunt culture. Born and raised in Wilson, North Carolina, he’s never strayed far from home but his riding has taken him far beyond it. Joey rides a 2018 Kawasaki ZX-6R, a machine that’s as custom as they come. A welder and metal fabricator by trade, he builds much of his setup himself. His bike runs a handmade crash cage and gas tank, dirt-bike handlebars, an RSC clutch lever, a 60-tooth rear sprocket, and a single 4piston hand brake. He also sports a Badass Industries half-steel frame paired with an SS Moto billet subframe and subcage. Every part tells a story and every weld is his own. His passion for riding started young. Joey was just a kid when he first tore around on the Honda CRF80 his parents got him for Christmas. But everything changed at 16, when he discovered controlled wheelies and the art of stunt riding. Inspired by his older brother — a stunt rider “way back in the day” — Joey grew up watching legends like Starboyz and Jason Britton on TV and in magazines. When YouTube exploded, the world of stunt riding became even bigger, and Joey dove all the way in. Despite plenty of rough landings over the years, Joey considers himself lucky — nothing serious, nothing he couldn’t walk away from. The thrill has always outweighed the risk. For Joey, riding is more than a hobby. “It’s an addiction,” he admits. One that only wheelies can cure. When he’s locked in, everything else disappears. His goals reflect that passion: traveling, riding in new states, meeting new riders, and performing more stunt shows. Most importantly, he wants to showcase the sport in a positive light the way he saw it when it first grabbed hold of him. Joey’s advice to anyone chasing their stunt journey is simple and real: “If you want it bad enough and put in the work, you’ll get it. We are capable of amazing things. Have faith and trust the process.” You can follow his riding adventures on: Instagram @Thrash nc Facebook at Joey Turnage.Shoutout to @breezy photography , and @drewsfotos for capturing many of his best moments, and special thanks to @stuntarmy and @cynical.productions for keeping him geared up and ready to ride.
