[Video] Rocks, Dirt & Familia with Sammy Mercado

[ad3]

Sammy Mercado devotes his flesh and soul to creating his own utopian freeride mountain bike zone, without constraints.

Mercado’s passion for the sport is tantamount to the best riders in the world. Even if no one was watching, he’d still be out in the dirt, doing his thing.

We caught up with Mercado to find out what it takes to build a Red Bull Rampage-inspired run, in the middle of nowhere — keep reading to learn more.
