HI'm sure many of you know Vector BMX. His real name is Craig Allen. He has spent hours helping us relive and enjoy the time we spent on our bikes as kids. Personally, I got to know a great guy that is still very passionate about the sport that shaped many of our lives. I'm sure many of you have noticed that he has not been posting on Facebook much lately. There is a reason for this and I wish it was something better than what it is.

Now is the time to help a fellow BMX brother who has helped us enjoy and remember our past. He has never asked me or anyone else for help.

Craig is battling a tumor in his spine. He doesn't complain or whine about it. He has been struggling through constant pain and reduced mobility. Recently, due to the pressure the tumor is putting on his spinal cord, he lost the use of his legs. This was really tough for me to hear because we have talked at length about riding again and about how much fun we had when we were kids. He has mounting medical bills and is doing everything he can to conquer this and move on with his life.

I know the Old School BMX community is very generous and will not let Craig down. He didn't ask me to do this for him but I felt like I needed do something to help out a friend in his time of need. Times are tight for everyone but one of our BMX brothers is having a terrible time with an unfortunate medical issue. Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.
