John Slover started racing BMX in Southern California. He says he got a chance to ride and hang out with some top pros like Eric Rupe to Byron Friday. He raced BMX until he was 22 years old. Once stepped away from racing BMX he went to roller skating and eventually started racing inline skates. Inline skating opened the door to racing a road bike. 

Once he witched to racing on the road he came across another group of talented riders like John Tomcat to Thurlow Rogers. When he started racing he won 15 straight races as a cat 4. Within a year he was a cat1. 

John became a top amateur in the county and began racing internationally. He fondly remembers racing the Tour of Guatemala. He even earned a pro contract but that was pulled out from under him. 

Years later and John is still racing. This time he's ripping off legs as a masters racer in Southern California.
