Manue Prado, born in Costa Rica, started riding BMX in 1996.
Started competing in 1998, moved to the USA in 2001 turned Pro after winning the CFB Series in 2002.
In 2003 got 3rd Place at the CFB in Woodward West, made it to the X-Games from that contest and got 14th place. This was the last time the X-Games had Flatland on it.
Early 2004 I started riding Cross Country Mountain Bikes and got hooked in to it, by the end of 2005 I was winning expert level MTB races, 2005 turned Semi-Pro and was ranked #1 for the 2006 and 2007 season.
Turned Pro in Cross Country Mountain Biking at the end of 2007. So far 2008 race season is going great.
The biggest accomplishment in Flatland is to be part of the Ticos Jam, along with the help of Michael Meza, sponsors and friends we make the Ticos Jam happen each year in February. Come join us, we will have a good time.
