Many of you already know Bobby (aka Midnight) or at least have seen him around, on CRANK MOB or Taco Tuesdays.
A few of you also know that my girlfriend Siku and I have taken Bobby under our wing. in the last nine months, we have started taking Bobby to the Carson Velodrome and an after school program, and getting him off the streets of South Central.
Bobby hasn't had a lot of the opportunities that some of us have had, but you can change that today. We've started a blog to tell Bobby's story and to let you know that we're collecting donations to send Bobby to summer camp.
I'm not necessarily asking you to make a donation, but I'm asking you to read the blog and help in whatever way you can. (
Bobby Goes to Camp
If that's money, awesome.
If that's a few words of encouragement when you see Bobby, that will make a huge difference too!
Bobby loves Midnight Ridazz with all his heart. It's where he found a second family. Thank you for your interest, love and support.
Ride On,
--Iain

I remember the first time I met Bobby. We were eating at the Wendy's near USC and he was hanging out with 5 other kids his age..... all on bikes. He asked to ride my fixie (which was way too big for him) and he immediately started skidding around on it.
We told him we were going to taco Tuesdays and he immediately called his mom to see if it was okay for him to ride with us to the beach and back....she said no. So we told him that Tacos met every Tuesday on Venice and Culver. Lo and behold the very next week he showed up at the start of Taco Tuesdays and has been a fixture ever since.
P.S.
That shot of Bobby on the Velodrome is friggin cool!

Bump for a great kid with a passion for bikes. Let's feed that passion with a mighty community backing to help him get farther than we got.

Hey! Do you know which Summer Camp he wants to attend and how he would get there? What grade is he going into? I work for an educational program that has Summer Camps around Los Angeles, but its for elementary school kids. Is he in middle school?
