Parker started out comping Nylints in his backyard. I just missed the boat on those. I met him a little while later when the 2.2 was just beginning to take off. It has been awesome to watch someone with such passion for this hobby. I feel lucky to live near him and have access to his events. Every event brings new fun; dude never stops thinking of ways to make things better. I had a conversation with him last night and he was all giddy about some new ideas he had. Does he ever NOT think of RC crawlers?

Yep , Parker is a Badass. I could listen to him for hours. His way of course design and planning is second to NO ONE. The guy is a promotional genius , Axial is lucky to have him. I am proud to call him my friend. |

I first met Parker at Red Rocks #1 ( telling stories in the parking lot that cannot be repeated in an open non NC-17 forum). The funniest, most down to earth, and humble guy I have ever met. I am glad that crawling is getting some great press, and Brian Parker is getting the recognition he has earned. My sparkly hat is off to him.

Nice! Couldn't happen to a better guy! Glad to see they used the pic from when Axial.Man helped me get my truck back after a nasty roll at the Farmington AWCC event last year. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk |

I just met Parker on Saturday @ the Nats. Absolutely could not have had a better time without him. Honored to be able to say he's my friend.
