Years ago when my friends and I first started to ride we would make our own stickers by photocopying images onto sticker paper. All we

could get was neon colored paper that was simply paper. Not the quality vinyl available today. Our stickers didn't hold up well but it was fun and they were ours (and copies of ones we got from bike companies).

We also had the idea of making t-shirts but other than using fabric paint nothing ever came of it. I was able to take a graphic design class where I did learn the entire process of screen printing but still never made shirts outside of that class.

As time went on life happened and ideas got lost in the back of my mind. I wasn’t really riding anymore other than around the neighborhood and occasional nature park trail. I gave mountain bikes a try but something was missing. Something wasn’t quite right. I’d watch the X-Games and Dew Tour, look at the magazines, and watch stuff online. I was always looking at spots thinking, “that would have been a cool spot to ride”. I’d see a bank to wall some where, get excieted and think of a line for it. Until one day, thanks to a friend, I realized that even though I was getting older I could still do things that I loved. I didn’t have to settle for the typical “adult life” of working 9-5, yard work, and primetime TV. There was no reason I couldn’t get back on my bike!Nunc Vel Purus Rhoncus
