Connor Gallart Returns to Riding 2

Growing up across the street from the legendary Aptos Post Office Jumps in Santa Cruz, CA, Connor Gallart couldn't help but become a teenage dirt jumping phenom. During my years as a creative producer for Specialized Bicycles I lived in Santa Cruz and occasionally shot Connor at the Post Office Jumps when he was probably 14 or 15 years old.

After high school, he took a break from riding and joined the military in 2019. This past February, I was shooting a personal project in Reno (linked below too) with some local shredders and one of the guys asked if his buddy could tag along and shoot with us. Unbeknownst to me until I arrived that morning, his friend was Connor. I hadn't crossed paths with him since the Post Office Jumps got plowed in 2015. He not only killed in that fun video I made that day (he's in the long-sleeve black jersey), he told me that after several years away from riding he was getting back into full-time, so we made plans to shoot together this past May to tell his story, which is the YouTube link above. 

Since his return to riding, Connor is now supported by Evil Bikes, Troy Lee Designs, and Deity components.
