Tank’s BMX profile: He’s been described as the 21 year old stuck in the body of a little kid. Tank ‘da Crank began his BMX career as an ornery lil’ 5 year old and was an instant superstar from the moment he got off training wheels. His numerous No.1’s have just begun; that is… if he sticks with it. To put it in perspective, Tank started off the same way that Mike King and Danny Nelson did and he’s right on target to followin their footsteps.
