Trey Herrera rolling at Evolve.
I have known Trey Herrera for a bunch of years now. It’s always awesome to run into Trey at a park for a session. He is super good at bikes and always has a smile and a positive attitude about riding. Trey rides with the precision of a show rider after putting in years as part of the Yellow Designs Trick Team. This year he has made some moves by being signed to the Dartmoor North America team and he is headed to compete in Korea in just a few days. We caught up with Trey in between his park sessions and asked him a few questions. Check out the answers to those questions as well as a new joint edit with Trey and Oscar Marquez below…
