RIP LOCO CAMP.

Adolf Silva: “After 7 years of hard work and countless hours working on what has been my dream backyard super sad to be taking all the jumps down.

Loco Camp has been my playground, my backyard, my vision, my training camp, my life! Where we hosted many @backyardbattle_mtb and had many sessions and hours of pure fun.

It’s heartbreaking to see all this go down, but for now we have different goals and a new life to look up to and it’s time to move on and keep it going.

A big thank you to everyone that has come by anytime, helped and rode with us, but the biggest thanks to @rickygrimalbmx for being there since day one, for working countless hours and having the best vision I could have ever asked for and for making the best backyard ever!

RIP LOCO CAMP 💔”
