DAVE CASTILLO

Been spending some time working with the rest of the team at @intakebreathing lately. It’s been fun to reconnect with our business and I’m really excited about where it’s heading. The entire team has been crushing it. I got to tour the new building in Santa Barbara yesterday. This place will be not only our offices, but a full health and wellness facility downstairs. I can’t wait to see it finished. I’ll def spend a lot more time there!

After getting to race @d.b.rondell ’s bike at DitD last year, I had to have my own. Found one on marketplace, drove to northern Nevada to get it, and took it to John at Vintage Husky’s in SD county. He kind of knocked it out of the park. I’m not sure I can even get it dirty now… 🫣there are some pics of her before the restoration at the end of the frames.

Take me back!!! A few more pics comin through from Day in the Dirt & @thehooperclassic . Thx for the photos, @mdowsey_ , @dagsom !

More from the vintage race at Day in the Dirt. Thanks for these pics, @mdowsey_ ! Thanks again @d.b.rondell for letting me race your bike!!! Sorry I lost your number plate. I couldn’t get her started on the line. The boys tried to help with a bump start. Thanks @travis_gilbert_quist @qfranco91 @reidharper16 . It ended up being flooded. I got her started after everyone had taken off. By lap 3, I was cooked. I could barely use my hands. Then I came up on @j__graham . He was off the side kicking the shit out of his bike. It fired up right as I went by him. That was devastating because I was toast. I assumed he was toast too, and I knew we were going to have to do battle. It was a struggle… but so fun. He got me. That shit ain’t happening next year Graham! Hahahaha. I’m hooked. Again, thanks to the @fasthouse_ crew for this event. #vintagehusqvarna #vintagehusky #motocross #400cross

I wasn’t prepared at all, but I had the best time!!! I complied some pics from some peeps... @madmoosemedia , @dagsom , @spencerrathkamp … thanks guys! Thanks to @d.b.rondell for letting me race the ‘72 husky. I guess both the bike and I are pretty vintage since we are from the same year. Biggest thanks to @41kenny @amberlalexander @ashhbeltt @earthtokeegs @princesssummerfallwinterspring @aubrie_kendell @fonzy46 … and everyone at @fasthouse for all the hard work to give us the best times of our lives. Also, of course… @redbull . Also!! @scottdicksonart for the amazing hand painted signs for out pits! #400cross #vintagehusqvarna #vintagehusky #vintagemotocross

Such an epic time doing the @stuntsunlimited @thehooperclassic at the @fasthouse_ Day in the Dirt event. Thank you to @41kenny for allowing us to do this event inside of his event. Thanks to @loganholladay @kamybruder @freddy_b_ & Carrie for all the hard work to put this event on. Thanks to @action_horizons_stunts for sponsoring the mud pit, and thanks to @spencerrathkamp for aiming a camera at me. Had the pleasure of teaming up with Kodiak Lehman(last photo) in the team race. He definitely carried the team.

This one has to live on the feed. @jalbrecht83 just sent me this. @joel_m_albrecht and I holding @nat._.han and @h_u_n_t__e_r at what had to be one of the first free ride contests ever, in 1998. What a decade the 90’s were. Glad it’s over😂. Man, how did we allow baggy gear to happen? And WTF is SWAK?

OG Dave Castillo @4e11even sending it at Ocotillo Wells in 1998. @cameron_steele16 was brought to this place he expected to know already, because if anyone knows the desert inside out, it’s him. Still, this area in particular blew his mind. Widely untouched with mindblowing transitions that would make skate or snow parks laughable. You could ride in a 1/4 mile square for two days and never run out of new ramps. This is where @crustysofficial @fleshgear_crustydemons filmed @mikemetzger in the first Crusty movie. Freeriding has a beautiful history that never ceases to amaze. There were and will always be new places to explore, no matter how much you know about the surroundings. @joel_m_albrecht @triggergumm @_deadlinemx_ @raysommo @bmchamberlain @rustysetser @brianmanley88 @tommy.clowers Doug Deehan and Mike Defenbaugh as well as the owner of @srhproductions at that time surely had a great ride out there!

So fortunate to get the call to go play in the dirt with @racingcowboys for this @ramtrucks shoot. I got to play with some of the best in the biz. @samuel_hubinette @rhysmillenracing @gt555 @tannerfoust @powers_sucks @colletedavis … I have the directors cut here with a bit more moto. @fasthouse_ @glorymotorworks

@dcracerx finding more oldies in the vault. This #411 has been around for a bit now. This is either 2001 or 2002. I hadn’t raced since 96 and decided I wanted to go race some SX again, for fun. So I bought some Yamaha’s, re-recruited @bernhard__leitner (aka Barnyard), and went back out to establish myself as an LCQ specialist. When I called AMA to get a new 3 digit racing number, they rattled off a bunch that were available. But the 411 stuck out to me. It was @joel_m_albrecht ’s 3 digit number and I wanted to take it from him. So I did. Been running it ever since. These were some fun times. Thanks for the pic, Davey!

A few photos from the past couple of days at Day in the Dirt 26. @fasthouse_ always does it right. I’ve never had so much fun getting passed by all my friends. Great time teaming up with my great friend and @stuntsunlimited brother, @davidmbarrett395 , in the stunt gp team race. Thank you to the Alexander family, and the extended Fasthouse family, for all of the hard work. We all appreciate it so much. 😘😘

She’s a bad mama jama. @eramotoco did it again. The cleanest of clean. Perfectly dialed in with the @sdginnovations seat. I’ll try not to dirty her up too much at Day in the Dirt. Lesssss Gooooo!
