How It Began


In 2008 I watched Travis Pastrana & the krew from The Nitro Circus riding Trek Mods though a windy suburban street. This inspired me to build a trike from a green machine and a 16″ BMX  I got from the tip. That was the start of many things to come. In the next 12 months I pieced together the parts for my golden trike and started to get some ideas about how to modify Huffy Sliders with go kart wheels and tyres.
