What does the beach in Rincon, PR, a lighthouse, bikes and bikinis have in common? They all look great in action! The 2009 Medalla Light Ultimate Dirt Challenge went down in the paradise of Rincon, PR with great results. The UCI Mtn. Bike Cross Country and Mtn. Bike Downhill attendance drew a record breaking attendance on a new redesigned course for 2009. The BMX Dual Slalom Trails Racing drew Puerto Rico's finest BMX and Mtn Bike riders along with GHP's John Purse promoting the event. The 800' course had the riders in the low 30 second lap times. The course had two sets of 90 degree turns and two sets of 180 degree turns with a super technical track as well. Medalla Light was impressed with the event and is looking forward to next year. See you in 2010!

I turned pro in 1990. As a new pro, you go through an initiation phase as the established pros don't like to get beaten by a "rookie." Well, these guys would push me around so to speak and I would not give an inch. I would fight back in defense of their "attacks" and was hot headed. Shortly thereafter a bunch of pros were giving nicknames to fellow pros in the class. Well, I got nicknamed "The Jackal" as a jackal is a wild mean relentless dog in the wolf family. At the time, I didn't even know what a jackal was. The name just stuck...

I once inquired about acquiring a jackal. No luck as it is a wild breed that can't be domesticated.
