safety. We have pledged to each raise at least $500

be greatly appreciated. If you do not wish to

Check it:
SE's 2008 PK Ripper Looptail is featured in the current issue of "Omega Lifetime" magazine. This is a VERY high end magazine that features models like Cindy Crawford & Omega watches that are worth tens of thousands of dollars. It just goes to show the broad appeal that our cool retro bikes have. Cool stuff.

On April 30, NBC, the official US Olympic broadcaster for the 2008
Games, is giving BMX its 15 minutes of fame. The NBC Today Show,
which is expected to draw more than 6 million viewers, will be
filmed �Live� from Rockefeller Plaza in downtown, New York City. Two
separate live segments will be filmed to showcase the sport and
create hype for the Olympics.
You might even see Meredith Vieira aboard a GT or Free Agent bike
and she�ll be joined by several other co-hosts and three well-known
Olympic Hopefuls; Kyle Bennett, Donny Robinson and Arielle Martin. A
few younger riders will also be featured on the program to give the
audience a true perspective on the sport, so be sure to watch the
whole show.
The project was coordinated in part by NBC, NBL, ABA, and proudly
sponsored by Free Agent Bicycles, GT Bicycles, Fly Racing,
Fire-Magic Premium Grills, Jig-A-Loo, and Pro-Gate.
Here are the exciting details:
The Track: Mini-First straight, approx 120�, with a roller
and 16� set of doubles. A modified 2-person start gate, emulating
the Olympic gate, will be perched on a special start-ramp to
showcase the start. The track will be built by Tom Ritzenthaler, who
built the Olympic track in Beijing, China.
