Cincinnati, OH – Failure Bikes adds one of the most unique and talented Vert and Park riders to its roster. Chad Kagy has joined the Failure Team for 2007. Chad brings a level of riding to the program that speaks for itself, proof be told since taking home X Games Gold in last years Vert competition, appearing on the Tony Hawk Boom Boom Huck Jam and being a top 3 vert competitor in the Mountain Dew Action Sports Tour. Chad is one of the most progressive Vert and Park riders in BMX today, and his list of accomplishments and non-stop schedule is a testament to his dedication and love for BMX. Whether its on a vert ramp at the X Games or just riding with friends at Woodward Camp, Chad remains one of the most down to earth guys we know, except for that part when he is upside down 10ft above the deck in front of 15,000 screaming fans on one of those U ramps…Anyway everyone over here at Failure is excited he is on the team!
It's an odd time in the industry when you can win the biggest comp of the year and still can't get a bike sponsor...

at least a legit one that you would want to ride for. Lately it seems like the only options are ride for a company that makes you throw away self respect and morals with a paycheck or ride for a company that is doing something to keep BMX alive in the long run, the latter of the two makes you feel good about associating yourself with that company but not making a ton of money.... I'll take honesty with no up front cash promises anytime. Good people make for good times. –

Chad Kagy is one of the nicest dudes I know and it’s going to rule having him on the team. It’s also going to be awesome having a vert rider on the team since the rest of the dudes are park and street riders. Now I will have someone to ride vert with. hahahahaha... Welcome to the team Kagy! –
