1998 Snap Magazine bike test

In the June 1998 issue of Snap Magazine appeared a test of our bike. The below are two pictures I took from the magazine. Sorry I dont have a scanner. Tim Strelecki did the test with Keith Mulligan the words and pictures. The test took place at the Bastanchury trails (near ex GT rider George Smoot’s house) in Placentia, CA.  A place me and Ted Aguirre rode since I moved to California. It was known as “Killer Hill” in the old days, because it had a huge downhill trail that the city removed. Ted was my partner in American. The Candy Orange bike was his bike.

Part of our brochure

The below picture is from our 4 page color brochure we put out. The picture was taken at the famous Coal Canyon BMX track in Yorba Linda, CA in late ’97.  Sitting on the fence next to the blue bike is Pro Adam Provo of California. Holding the red frame is myself. The red bike would go to Troy Kendrick (Minnesota).

Those two bikes were our first two prototypes we debuted at the 1997 ABA Fall Nationals. Adam would make his first ever AA Pro race that weekend on the bike. His first race on the bike was his first AA Pro race? Wow talk about a challenge.  Adam did great though and held his own against all the big names but failed to make the mains. Still he said it wasnt the bike and he absolutely loved it and wanted no changes.
