The "Rooftop" is off Demolition parts!
After a long sponsorship by Demolition, Mike Escamilla decided to stop riding for Demolition.
This is what Demolition parts had to say:
"Mike 'Rooftop' Escamilla and Demolition Parts have decided to part ways. Mike has been apart of the family here for a very long time and we sincerely wish him the best in his future endeavors. With Mike, who knows what that'll be. TV, movies, skydiving, wrestling gators... who knows? I'm sure he'll be a huge succes wherever he ends up. We both know ther will be both questions on what happened and comments. There is no drama or anything like that. Mike and myself are still very close friends, period."
This is an email from Escamilla to BMX transworld:
"After over a Decade of being on Demolition Parts, we are parting ways. It's unfortunate it has to happen so close to the completion of their new DVD 'Last Chance', but sometimes it just works out that way. I'm sure the video is going to be amazing, and im going to miss all the amazing times I had on the road with the team over the years. I just want to thank Brian and La for all the years of support, as well as the employees who work or have worked with them over the years. Thanks guys! Can't wait to see the video!!!!"
Now, do you know why they call him the Rooftop?
Here's why: When Mike was 15 years old, he went on a trip with a couple of older bikers. But, according to his fellow bikers, Mike was talking too much, and they threatened to throw him on the rooftop if he ever said a word again. So everytime Escamilla opened his mouth, they were like: "Rooftop, Roooooftop!"
