Edwin, www.bmxonline.com, 2003 : The first real BMX bike I got was a GT "Dyno" from my mom on my 13th birthday. (...) When I got my first bike, I had brakes for a while, then they just popped one day and I didn't want to put them back on because I didn't like working on them. To build a bike without brakes is so much easier.
Jeff Zielinski, Ride US #100 : Edwin Delarosa's first photo in Ride was a wallie-to-x-up in issue 55, and his mom was bummed because you couldn't see his face. She even told me to make sure his face was visible the next time we shot a photo. Edwin's friends in school didn't believe it was him, either.
Sombra Tour.
Edwin, www.bmxonline.com, 2003 : It was the weirdest thing ever for me. I was about 16 at the time, and those were the guys I looked up to. I must have watched their videos twice a day, so to go from a kid that watched the videos to going on a trip and riding and hanging out with them was the best thing in the world for me. I told all my friends about the trip. Four months prior to that trip, the Sombra crew came to New York to ride for a couple of days and that was the best, so to go on a trip with them after that was even better.

Edwin, www.bmxonline.com, 2003 : I wasn't supposed to have a part in the video in the first place. I had just gotten on the "A" team and I just happened to be in Cali at the time. I met up with {Dave} Parrick and I filmed the part that was in the VHS in like two days because the deadline for the video was already up. After the video came out, I went back to Cali for a week, and Parrick came to New York for like five days and I filmed the part for the DVD.
