Carey Hart was born on July 17, 1975 in Seal Beach, California and grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Hart is one of the most recognized names in all of freestyle Motocross. His father bought him his first motocross bike when he was only four years old in hopes of spending some quality time with his son. However, what had originally started as a father and son pastime quickly turned into Carey’s passion. By the time he entered his first local race as an amateur, he was hooked and by high school graduation, he was a professional Motocross rider, racing AMA Supercross circuit.
Soon thereafter, Carey grew bored with Supercross and started riding with a group of guys who were interested in a more creative and expressive form of Motocross. In 1998, the Freestyle motocross movement was born with Carey leading the way. From the sport’s inception, Carey has been one of the most innovative riders in the sport.
He is the inventor of the ‘Hart Attack’, and at the 2000 Gravity Games Carey etched his name in the record books as the first rider ever to complete a back flip on a 250cc motorcycle. The back flip
Hart also has his own film directed by Jonny Vegas “Good times with Carey Hart” The film tells the true life story of Hart’s amazing career and how he accomplished the unimaginable back flip, and how he elevated his sport like few in history have!

In 2004 Carey’s passion for tattoos turned into a business venture. Teaming up with fellow entrepreneur, John Huntington, Hart & Huntington Tattoo Company opened their doors in the prestigious Palms Casino, Las Vegas. This move lead to another TV opportunity for Carey when the A&E network decided to follow him and the workings of the shop in their own reality show: Inked.
Since then, Hart has taken over 100% of the company as seen on Inked. Three more Hart and Huntington Tattoo shops have opened: Honolulu, Cabo San Lucas and Orlando at Universal Citywalk. Carey also expanded into making a quality clothing line based on the designs of the talented artists that work at Hart and Huntington Tattoo Company.
Even with all of Carey’s business ventures, he still finds time to dedicate to his first passion supermoto, Hart & Huntington Tattoo/Rockstar Supermoto Team. There is no denying Carey’s dedication and passion. He has suffered his share of injuries attempting new tricks, Carey has broken over 63 bones in his body however like a cat with nine lives, he continues to bounce back and he does it all in the name of progression.

On This Day in Pink History… 14th July 2003, Feel Good Time was released in the UK
Feel Good Time was released on 14th July 2003 in the UK. The song features William Orbit and was used on the soundtrack of the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Feel Good Time samples Fresh Garbage by the band Spirit from their 1968 album Spirit. It peaked at number three on the UK Singles Chart.
The song was originally written by and recorded by Beck and William Orbit with the intention of being a Beck track, but after Pink wanted to cover the song, Beck gave the song to her. Beck’s vocals and a guitar were removed and replaced with Pink’s vocals. Beck’s original was later posted on Orbit’s website.
Feel Good Time was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals, but lost out to Sting and Mary J. Blige with Whenever I Say Your Name.
Stylus Magazine wrote a favorable review: “And then, there’s the brilliance of “Feel Good Time” – depending on who you believe, either stolen from or written for by Beck – ostensibly/unofficially the first single from Try This. This ‘association’ with Beck serves as something of a touchstone for the album; forget for a moment the white-male-pain and subdued arrangements of Mutations and Sea Change and remember instead the schizoid pastiche spectaculars of Midnite Vultures. What the album occasionally lacks in coherence or narrative it more than makes up for in moments of pop brilliance, the kind of eccentric pop magic that’s not been seen since the glory days of Cyndi Lauper (I’m sure it’s no accident that P!nk looks alarmingly like The Unusual One in the liner photos).”

On This Day in Pink History… 13th July 2005, Pink proposed to Carey during one of his races.
Pink met Carey Hart at the 2001 X Games in Philadelphia. She said she would never date a motocross racer… however four years later on 13th July 2005, Pink asked Carey to marry her during a Mammoth Lakes motocross race. She was assisting the race and wrote “Will you marry me? I’m serious!” on a pit board. He initially didn’t notice and continued on for another lap. When he did notice, he veered off the track and he said YES! But then Pink made him finish the race because she didn’t want to marry a loser!
They married in Costa Rica in early 2006, however, in 2008 Pink confirmed that she and Carey had separated. In April 2009, Pink stated that the couple had gone to marriage counseling and were back together – they were never divorced. In November 2010, the couple announced they were expecting their first child and on 2nd June 2011, Willow Sage Hart was born.
Carey has appeared in several of Pink’s music videos (Just Like a Pill, So What, Just Give Me a Reason and True Love), and has also travelled with her on tours. They have matching ‘Tru Luv’ tattoos, and also Carey has a several tattoos of Pink.
