At first, it was a God-given vision to build something I had never attempted, but it was the transition I needed to go from the life of being lost to living with a purpose I thought was long gone. Then from building and designing, to going to Japan, to doing builds for schools (such as San Jose' High School) and a time of homelessness and still holding onto the hope that it would be more. I sometimes felt lost, and only had faith that this was to become something greater. What I soon found out was that it was to become greater than myself, something that would be the "vehicle" to change lives, with all the doubters, dismissals, naysayers and little support, I had to keep going. Then after a rebuilding of self and focusing on a deeper purpose and commitment to a situation that was becoming a public safety concern, Slyd District finally found it's place to be planted and flourish. But this was not without its battles and still current challenges, yet, this is the fertilizer needed to get deeper roots. As we have reached the current positioning of Slyd District into being the ONLY organization offering safe, legal venues for competition and community unification, I am proud to say that in all the trials and victories, there is a solid foundation for the Slyd District Racing League to build the legacy it was meant to be, for others to enjoy and become more. Having the mix between the Stay Tun3d Apparel and Slyd District Racing League, along with the other branches of this community, a definitive line is drawn between what many have said is the continuing legacy of what had disappeared decades ago (many have said this is just like Big Willie Robinson's mission to create change). I don't know whether it is or isn't, but I know this, God gave me this purpose so others can develop the purpose He gave them. It's more than just a racing league, its a family...
