Dirt (AKA Chris Collins if you go back that far) was nicknamed that as a kid and just grew bigger. Kind of htlike when you see him ride a bike.. it just works, no need for adjustment. Whether you are talking bikes, skateboards, or photography, Dirt can apply the most style and integrity out of anyone while looking effortless in the process. He has always been a guy who makes things look good, but is never overly serious about anything. When he moved out of Reno (Nevada) to San Francisco he picked up track bikes, and as with anything he is passionate about, he got heavily involved. JHe started to message, and that was it for him, no looking back. Never one to give a shit about what was considered “cool,” Dirt brought track bikes into our group of friends, and for the most part into Reno itself way before it became the local fad. He has made a name for himself in the fixed gear world, and no one is more deserving of the credit. Dirt is a laid back, charismatic, fun, motherfucker and although he can be a pain in the ass from time to time… to know him is to love him.
