BMX Rider Tyler Fernengel: Detroit to San Diego
Detroit-area native Fernengel picks up stakes and moves to SoCal to kick off his pro BMX career.
He turned 18 earlier this year and made the decision to leave his family, friends and formative riding spots in order to make the cross-country move to San Diego, California. With his sponsors and much of the BMX media in Southern California -- not to mention the draw of year-round riding weather -- the move was a bit of a no-brainer, but that didn't mean it was going to be easy.
Tyler is close to his family and loyal to his Michigan roots, but his family and friends know that California is the place he needs to be, at least for now. We followed Tyler on his coming-of-age roadtrip, and you can see how it all went down in our three-part video series.
