I’m a southern Cali girl who appreciates beauty from all walks of life, but there is nothing more appealing to me than seeing a man or woman who is in-shape and takes good care of themselves.  I did not grow up playing sports. I was never athletic and I am horribly uncoordinated.  If you ask anyone that knows me, they would agree. What I do have is heart, determination and commitment.  I knew I had to start somewhere, so I decided to do a figure competition.  In 2010 I competed in my first novice figure competition placing 2nd at the Muscle Classics in Venice Beach and two more NPC figure shows followed.  I had no clue what I was getting myself into in terms of the amount of training, nutrition and the adjustments I had make in order to step on stage with other competitors.  Through my journey of becoming a figure competitor and sculpting my body I realized it is more of a LIFESTYLE than anything else.  Showing off the hard work I put in on a daily basis and then being able to share my knowledge with others who want to get in-shape or struggle with obesity brings so much joy to my heart.  It goes beyond just ‘looking good‘ for me, it’s about KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING my body from the inside and out.    You can reach Jackie by connecting with her on TWITTER and make sure and visit her website MissJackieFitness.com

Mike Escamilla, 34, is known for changing the face of BMX street riding, being a fearless stuntman… and for being a big talker.  On a road trip to a BMX contest in 1994, pro rider Keith Treanor was so exhausted by Escamilla’s relentless chatter that he threatened to duct tape him to the roof of the car. Though he managed to avoid his duct-taped fate, the nickname “Rooftop” stuck.   Today, you can catch Escamilla at his “day job” on Fuel TV where he co-hosts “Strangers in Danger” along with BMX rider Zack “Catfish” Yankush.  The pair travel the world taking part in strange rituals and bizarre stunts such as eating a live octopus, working as sewer divers in Mexico and occasionally breaking bottles on their foreheads.   The show isn’t Escamilla’s first appearance on-screen, however. He made his feature film debut in 2002, alongside Vin Diesel in “XXX” playing a ramp truck passenger. He’s also spent time doing stunt work for NBC’s “The Cape,” “Chuck” and “Outsourced.”  Escamilla is also a regular on The Learning Channel’s  (TLC) hit show, “LA Ink,”   Escamilla grew up in Southern California and started riding BMX at the age of 11. A local bike shop owner took notice of the then-14-year-old and contacted Ride Magazine.
