It's me, Leo Leiva, the oldest BMX rider from Venezuela and I still race from 1980 on. My first I.MX.F. World Championship was in Whistler - Canada in 1985 and I finished in 5th place in Experts 17 & over class. Bas mde Bever finished 2nd, Travis Chipres did win in Canada. I did meet you here in Isla de Margarita in 1995 when you were the project-manager of the UCI BMX World Cup / Supercross series on the island here in Venezuela. I did sent you a picture of this race with you on it, carrying a large box with all the transponder equipment, together with Eddy Posthuma and the at the time BMX Coordinator UCI, Jeroen Vrijdag. I am just watching you, the guy with the green jersey. I am glad to meet you on facebook also now, hope you will accept my "friendship" request.
All the best for now Leo Leiva (May 2011)

Hi Leo Leiva, great to hear from you. Ofcourse I do remember you and I am more then glad to accept you as a "friend" on facebook. I only accept people I know and you are one of them. So you are still racing till this day? How is BMX doing in Venezuela? Talk to you later then, all the best, GD
