James Palmer - Time For My Next Journey

Thank you MoonriderPro for putting this video together.
For over 10 years, racing BMX around the world as a professional athlete has been all I wanted to pursue. I loved the daily grind, trying to get more out of myself each day, picking a target in the future and working to be the best I could be for that event. That desire to chase those dreams took a turn and my passion and excitement to start pursuing a life as a firefighter has taken over. After being presented with an opportunity I didnt want to pass up, I made the decision to step away and retire from racing BMX.
Thank you to everyone who made this journey so incredible. BMX is an individual sport, but it takes a team of good people around you and I've been fortunate to have had great support thorughout the years, so thank you to everyone who helped and supported a kid who wanted to race his bike and chase his dreams. I'm excited to sit back and now just be a fan of the sport I know and love.
