Amazing weekend out in here in California. Aaron Cooke from ther ARF has been working on a project for about 12 months with the help of some big sponsors. Steve Matteus from Rockstar Energy got together with Aaron and contributed to an unbelievable suprise for Stephen that was unveiled at a trails jam at Lonnie Paxton’s house yesterday. This was basically a “Pimp My Ride” scenario as Stephen’s old van was in pretty dire condition and not safe for him to be travelling around in.. The team worked together to deliver this top of the line fully blinged out Mercedes van that is fully modified and tricked out for Stephen and the kids… Fuel TV were on hand to film the whole day and the story will air sometime next month. BMX media, friends and contributors were all on hand to share in the special moment with Stephen.. His face pretty much says it all :
Stoked? You think so?
We will add more pics and links of the van presentation in the next few days.. Not to forget that this was a jam too and some good riding went down with a lot of heavy hitters in town for the weekend. Good riding, good friends, good mexican food and all for a great cause. ……A few more pics to set the scene..

Huge thanks to ARF (Athlete Recovery Fund) and Aaron Cooke who made this day possible and for all the work of the last 12 months that went into this very special suprise for Stephen. Also a big thanks to all the co-sponsors who contributed to make this project possible!
