Wow.Nah man. Not enough time nor space here to list the memories I
have with him.
He’s been there my time and even lied to dispatch just so I could
practice my tricks. 🌹🌹🌹Saat El
He was called ninja because he was one of a crew of messengers who
had tricked out small trick bikes, wore hockey and football armor
and helmets, and worked the streets without fear. Hooking onto the
back fenders of fast-moving cars and anywhere on trucks to travel
fast and furious. They were incredible inspirational messengers.
Some of them died on the roads. -Sefan Geras
