Notable:
Mike Parenti has been a professional bike rider since he was 16 years-old. Riding a bike is what he knows better than anything.

He is a consistent finalist in Dirt and has used his experience to get himself into the Park event as well.

Quote:
"My goal was to qualify for Park in the X Games. So I'm really excited about that. With all the injuries [over the past couple years] I was kind of like 'I'm already in for Dirt, I'll just concentrate on that. This is my first year that I haven't been hurt, and I said I'm gonna do street this year. That's where my passion is. I started out riding street and Dirt is just like a fun thing to do and I got sucked into this dirt rider image."
