X Games gold medalist Kevin Peraza opens up about growing up Mexican American, his dad's sacrifice to give him a shot at BMX, and winning medals in 3 different disciplines. From backyard ramps built by his father — a welder and mechanic from Hermosillo — to standing on top of the X Games podium, this is one of the most powerful stories we've told. This is Kevin’s story.
