  • Racer X Films: 2001 Kawasaki KX500 Garage Build

I spoke with surfing legend Sunny Garcia multiple times over the course of about six months while this bike was being built. When it was finished, we met at Cahuilla Creek and shook down this work of art together. This all happened about two weeks prior to Sunny’s suicide attempt in late April. This project is bittersweet to all involved at this point, and we’re still praying for a full recovery for our friend.

Note: This video was shot in April of 2019.
