Chris GerChris Gerber strarted riding BMX in 1997 on a Mongoose California in the hills of Indiana. He says that no matter where he goes in the sport of BMX, he will always ride his bike in the Midwest. In the summer months, he cruises the dirt trails, and in the winter, he can be found at the skatepark.

Gerber looks up to riders like TJ Lavin, Allan Cooke, Nasty, Whitesnake, and Adam Strieby. And now, Gerber is competing against them at the Dew Action Sports Tour and definitely holding his own. His advice to young riders is to "Try to ride every day and ride hard......don't be afraid to fall."

When he's not on his bike, Gerber is listening to hip-hop (like Biggie Smalls, Too Short and James Simon) and can be found shooting it out on the pool tables. Something you'd probably never guess-Gerber shaves his entire body. ber strarted riding BMX in 1997 on a Mongoose California in the hills of Indiana.
