Alex Larson
2008 Class(es): Super EX
Strengths: Alex is quite impressive to watch. Fabulous jumping skills and he definitely enjoys riding challenging BMX tracks. Away from the track, he spends time trail riding, riding skateparks, riding his Kawasaki motocross bike and working on computers. Alex graduated from Forest Park IT Specialty High School and was honored with the Silver Metal in 2007. He is attending ECPI and will graduate 2010.
Alex had an accident July 2008 requiring rotator cuff surgery which to our surprise is requiring a much longer recovery time than we thought. Following major surgery on his right shoulder and intensive therapy, Alex has pretty much recovered from his injuries. While he misses BMX racing very much, he has been taking his doctor's advice to take time off from racing for a couple of years. Alex hopes to get back into BMX racing someday – right now he is continuing his education at ECPI Tech school (mechanical engineering), working part time and still riding trails. He wishes all his BMX friends the best.
