How It All Began

By Kevin Newhouse

“We all grew up in different parts of Aptos, and oddly enough, the jumps happened to pretty much be right in the center of where we all lived so it was the perfect meeting spot for us. We’d meet there every day after school and ride until the sun went down.”

— Tyler McCaul
