Hey whats up? my name is Dennis Yuroshek i have been riding bicycles for 8 years now. heres a little info on my riding history. when i was 13 i started raceing BMX in june of 2000, by august of 2000 i was aba's 13 intermediate state champ for New Jersey. i only raced one season untill the local track was taken down in the spring of 2001. so after that i went to my sponsors shop, Cycle Craft and saw a flatland bike and thought it was the coolest thing in the world. well 2 weeks later i was riding flatland, i didnt know much about it and wasnt very good in the begining but i picked up on it slowly by teaching myself. so in 2002 i went to the x-games in Philly and watched the flatland finals and actually got to ride inside the arena with the top pros in the world. i started doing contests in the area and was getting top 3 in all of the contests. so i flew out to L.A. in 2003 to watch the x-games and by now i made a few friends and got myself a "friends and family" pass so i brought my bike in and rode with the top 20 pros, it was alot of fun. i picked up a sponsor named Unity Bikes. i helped them out alot with their new business and got a team together and we did real good, one contest we took top 3. i have competed in a Pro open contest and placed 4th beating out world/national champion of flatland. while riding and competeing in flatland i have traveled to many states from RI, GA, FL, IL,OH,PA,DL,NY,VEGAS, CA just to name a few. shortly after i started working at a bike shop and had to have shoulder surgery in dec. of 2004. after that i slowed down on riding period. i got a real job as a union carpenter and have been doing that full time. and now i am makeing my way back on my bike and im going to try something new, Downhill raceing. i have been ridin and training hard for the 07 season and hopefully ill be able to pick up a few sponsors and help me out. i have big plans already for 2007 so be on the look out.
