Mike Saavedra has been off his bike for most of the last year due to a serious knee injury. Instead of sitting around doing nothing or the typical rehab Mike had another idea -- he spent the time off his bike building his trails. Digging and carrying buckets of water seemed to "kill two birds with one stone." Not only is his knee stronger, he has also created one of the best sets of trails in Southern California. And now that Mike is enjoying the fruits of his labor he has also found himself on the Deluxe BMX team. Recently, we caught up with him to discuss his trail work and the move to the Deluxe team.
