Ralph Sinisi, www.bmx-test.com, august 2003 : I never wanted to start a company. I was on a road trip with Tag, Crandall, Scerbo, and Dossantos. We all got arrested in Georgia for riding at some college. Tag and I grinded down some new marble ledge at a campus and a professor got pissed and pressed charges on all of it. We were all flea bathed and put in orange suits and thrown in county jail. It was a real dehumanizing experience. We almost got stuck in there for a month. When we finally got someone to bail us out we decided to get the hell out of Georgia. We got to South Carolina and went camping. I bugged out all night about doing something new and different. Crandall fell asleep early as usual and Bob, George, Tag, and I walked around these crazy woods all night under a full moon. It was some battleground from the Civil War and was real crazy. We reached some old fort thing and I was so psyched, I decided to start a company. I realized that I could help out others, but nothing would be the way I saw bike riding unless I did it myself. I just wanted to do something all about the riding with no bullshit or image to sell stuff. Just good riding and good parts. The next day C called Sean "white head" Curran and told him to draw up these great pegs. We had been talking about it since Frank Lamb worked at this crazy high tech machine shop and we new we could make the fastest strongest pegs possible. We put a phone line in our best local shop, Intense Energy, and began shipping the pegs from there. I brought a whole bunch to a contest at Section 8 and just gave them out to all my friends. The rest is history.
