The Monster Ricky Carmichael Replica Downfall Sasquatch fleece lined zip hoody. Ricky Carmichael was born on November 27, 1979, in Clearwater, Florida. He was raised in Havana, Florida, by his father, Rick, an electrician known as Big Rick, & mother, Jeannie. Carmichael's first bike was a Yamaha 50 Tri-Zinger that his parents gave him as a Valentine's Day present when he was five years old. Short & stocky with red curly hair & an abundance of freckles, Carmichael didn't always feel comfortable at school so he lost himself in his bike. Competing in his first race when he was just five years old, Carmichael had a deep & abiding desire to cross the finish line first, & by the age of sixteen he had a record-setting 67 national amateur titles to prove he could win, & win big.
