ALEX CALDERON

Most of the time the cameras focus on the hotdog riders. However, young, upcoming riders like the one above, are just as essential to the MX atmosphere as anyone else. This young chap is always riding on the weekends ... In the rainy season he rides in the rain and knee deep puddles. In the hot summer he endures the blistering sun and blinding dust. If a rider is down and hurt he is the first to assist and get help. Hats off to this young man. You are the rider of the week.
