Season 2 - Episode 05 - Dougie Fresh - Number One yesterday, today, and always

This episode is a sort of bonus episode. So not totally about skateboarding. Doug and I grew up together in Kingwood and skated together with all of our crew. But Doug has always been more of a BMXer. The BMX and the skateboarding world in Austin has always been closely related. We skated/rode many of the same places, we partied together, we have the same DIY spot philosophies, and we all seem to know each other. My brother Casey, who is best friends with Doug, crossed both worlds of BMX and skateboarding. This helped me to keep in contact with Doug and be aware of both worlds.

This episode was an emotional episode for me to make as it is still hard to see my friend, (who was always ripping and pushing the boundaries at whatever he did), confined to a wheelchair. Doug won the Nationals and worlds for BMX. Doug was chosen to go to the 2012 Beijing Olympics to represent the US for BMX. He never made it due to the accident. He is not supposed to be alive. But over the course of this interview, I realized that Doug is still Number One. Despite doctors and people telling him he can't do things, he is continuing to push the limits of what he can do everyday and is claiming lots of small victories.

Doug has shifted his perspective and wants to world to know he is still here and still Number 1.
