1982 Bob Morales is the founder of Dyno.
Bob Morales, BMX Action june 1987: Gary Turner thought it sounded good. It was either that or Targa.

Dyno's first product line included BMX jerseys, racing pants and T-shirts.
DYNO participated in the first Interbike trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada and Bob Morales became the youngest company owner to exhibit at a bicycle industry trade show.
1983 Bob Morales: Dyno moved out of my garage into a small warehouse in Huntington Beach, California. Dyno added BMX number plates and other accessories to its product line. Dyno sponsored the "SE Racing" and "GT BMX/Freestyle" teams and ran full page color advertisements in BMX magazines helping Dyno to become well known in this new growing sport throughout the entire world.

1984 Dyno business continued to grow and added new products as well as employees.
The annual sales grew to about $250,000.
1985 The new Dyno Compe complete bike is built on the new Dyno D-30 Frame Set.
Ad in BMX Action september 1985: Start with the right frame of mind. To get your freestyle act together you've got to line up the right equipment. Start with your attitude, nothing gets you into attack mode better than knowing you have the best, the all new Dyno frame set, the latest, hottest, most rad freestyle technology going. 100% chromoly wrapped, bent and welded into the exclusive Dyno D-30 FS design. As unique and individual as freestyle itself. You can spot the Dyno from another county, with its outrageous frame geometry, but take a close look you'll see the quality it takes to build a champion. The special Dyno drop-bend on the top tube leaves an excellent platform. Dyno drop-outs are totally unique and totally trick. The Dyno fork and head geometry has been engineered with a sharper angle for quicker steering and does Dyno have colors ? Dumb question.
Bicross magazine: Dyno commence à produire des BMX. Quelques années après la conception du GT performer, Bob Morales dessine ainsi le premier cadre et fourche DYNO. Empattement court (950mm), petite plateforme, prix élevé.

Bob Morales: GT Bicycles made an offer to buy Dyno. I accepted their offer because Dyno was severely undercapitalized and in need of investment. I negotiated a contract with GT to design bicycle frames and components and to consult on a marketing strategy for them.		 1985 frames
1986 Automne 1986, GT rachète à Bob Morales les parts que celui-ci possède encore dans la marque Dyno. Bob se consacre alors entièrement à l'AFA (American Freestyle Association).

2001 GT was liquidated and the brand name sold to Pacific Cycle in 2001.
2004 Pacific Cycle continued to sell Dyno bicycles as "entry-level" bikes until the Canadian firm Dorel Industries acquired Pacific Cycle in 2004. The Dorel-owned Pacific Cycle has not since marketed any products under the Dyno brand name.
2007 D. Wiseman, april 2007: The Pacific cycle/Dyno bio suggests that the Dyno brand has not been marketed since 2004. We purchased an entry level Dyno for our son recently from toys-R-us with a manufacture date of Sept. 2006.
