When I heard that Kevin Jones was going to design another frame for Hoffman Bikes it definitely caught my attention. Starting in May of 2008 I will not only be riding a Hoffman Bike, but will also be riding for Hoffman Bikes. With the support from Hoffman Bikes I will be able to travel to more jams and competitions, keep the lights and heat going in my winter riding spot, and help spread the growth of flatland and BMX. 

Thanks of course to Suelo for their dedicated support over the past five years. I will still be riding some Suelo parts on my Hoffman Strowler frame and would like to thank them for their support. Of course I will continue to ride for Dan’s Competition, as they have sponsored me since before I was even a pro. Thanks again to my sponsors for their support, and I hope that you will get to see my new bike in action
