Notable:
Josh Dirksen is a naturally talented rider who can rally on all terrain--from the deep powder of his home in Bend, OR to the rails and big hits of the parks around the globe. He is a well-respected rider who is all about having fun. Dirksen has been riding with newly transplanted Oregonian Kevin Jones, an influence that will certainly keep Dirksen on point. Josh is in Kingpin Productions' "Happy Hour" and will be filming with the Robot Food crew in '02/'03.

Quote:
"I never really cared about competing until I discovered that if you do well at the [Winter] X Games all of your sponsors will let you ride powder for the rest of the year. So now I try to concentrate more and not crash (as much)."
