The Way We were

 


Mullins..Gilboe..DannyK ..Bruce Riveria..Randy Gymer..James Knight..






Jeff Gray..The Black-Ace..Yes even the Ace..Alan Antonuk..The Benson Bros...that thick ass fast ass hell crit dog whats his name...Skrocki..Jay Moncel..Terry Palmer 




Yep..the team went through some dudes. Conceived way back in in the early 90s..it  filled with some really cool and approachable people, The original version with Danny and Bruce were tough..add Masters national crit champion and TT honch Bill Gilboe and it wasnt the numbers that made em strong but the talent. 


The team transitioned nicely by late Y2K..to include some newer younger fellas..Toss in Tim Saari onthe cross side was covered. 

Running and funding teams isnt an easy and cheap thing to do, and as time wore on dudes moved on to merge with other teams and just fun friends.


Not that the golden years were the best years but you must admit it was a pretty kick ass time...


Mullins and that Camelback CX Bloomer




It was strange time quite possible six to ten teams all with there unique personalty's..


The crew always had fun to poke at photo-shoots 


Benson and Tom Elias..were a pretty fast duo at Bloomer


Kroske sitting in..


Big mile Monster and a TMS favorite Robert Herimen 





Time moves pretty fast..best to stay rad as long as you can...
