Fuzzy Hall, who has been a member of Team OGIO since its beginning, is stepping up his role with the company as its newly named BMX Team Manager. The announcement was made by OGIO VP of Promotions Andy Bell.

Hall, who joined the BMX circuit in 1987 and has helped shape it into the widely accepted sport it is today, will continue to compete in numerous competitions worldwide this year. He was the first rider to successfully throw a 720 in competition, at X Games X, and has been instrumental in building the sport of BMX dirt jumping into what it is today. Hall's renowned course-design skills have been compared to crafting a fine wine; even his Kaysville, Utah backyard is a riding mecca and the subject of a video game. And he is a regular fixture on magazine covers, action sport movies, and how-to riding clinics for kids of all ages.

"Joining OGIO was an automatic for me," Hall explains. "I decided to add this role to my roster because it's something I can get really excited about. The quality is top notch and everyone who works here are huge into alternative sports. By helping take the OGIO name deeper into the biking industry, I'm doing something I'm real proud of."

In his new position, this riding legend will help expand the OGIO brand's distribution, while adding new talent to the company's growing team roster. "The action sports tour has opened a lot of doors for FMX, skateboarding, and BMX. You know you've got corporate America's attention when NBC devotes entire weekends to our industry. But OGIO's been tapped into this from the beginning. They've backed me up with what I want to do and the ideas I have in my head, and I look forward to continuing and building this relationship."
