Rider of the Month - Mike Miranda

Mike Miranda - Currently Lives in Seal Beach, CA

Got the nick name "Hollywood" for his flashy and sometimes very pink uniforms. 

Most Notable Piece in RAD: Three crashes during the final race. Mike was paid extra to perform the crashes. I remember when he went off the top of Helltrack into a large pile of cardboard boxes.

The Hutch shown below is the actual bike he rode in the movie. This was recently returned to him by a neighbor, then restored to its original condition.

The story Mike told me was that he gave this bike to a neighbor kid after the movie. Recently the kid (now an electrician) gave it back to him. BMX Plus and Restoration Nation got ahold of it and completely redid it. Should be in upcoming issues of BMX Plus. Here are a few shots of it I got today at the Bicycle Source grand opening party. This thing is sick...
