SUPERCROSS BMX History

Well most of the riders involved in the sport today don't remember what the sport was like 10 years ago, so what we are trying to do with this page and site is to offer a little bit of a look back into time through the eyes of SUPERCROSS. This will be a long and on-going saga and we plan to keep updating it with links and pictures so please keep checking back. All of the history on this page is from memory, so a few dates may not be exact, and if anyone wants to send us a proper date or if they think we left something out please let us know. But enough with that and on to the history.

Before we started SUPERCROSS BMX , we had a little company called TECH BMX PRODUCTS, some of you people who have been around the sport for a while may remember it but most of the newcomers to the sport won't as we ceased working with that product line in 92' as SUPERCROSS took up more and more of our time. With TECH we had a small factory team of riders that rode for us like most BMX companies do, ours at the time consisted of Glen Pavlosky, John Gonzalez, Brain Lopes, Kiyomi Waller, and Billy Harrison. Most of you will remember these names from BMX and Brian's from MTB history.

Since TECH was a number plate and racing pant company we worked with a few frame manufacturers to get out riders the bikes they were riding. At the time we were working with SE , Free Agent, and Elf for the different riders. As we were having trouble getting our AA Pro Billy Harrison a frame that he felt comfortable on, we kind of heard that ELF had made some frames for BOSS that were rejected due to bad chrome and that ELF was sitting on a bunch of frames that they wanted to get rid of. We spoke with Billy and came up with the idea to take those BOSS frames, have them painted and sell them under another name to generate some revenue to further help pay for Billy's racing carrer. Well as it goes we got ahold of one of the BOSS frames for BIlly to try and he hated it , so we didn't complete the original plan, but it did get the wheels turning to start our own frame company.

So you see the original idea for SUPERCROSS wasn't to build a frame and make alot of money, but to get an excellent quality frame under a great rider, and if it helped pay for his entry fees and give him some cash while he went to college so be it. TECH was paying it's own way at the time and this was going to be a frame for the riders by the riders. We figured if we ever made a couple of hundred of them that it would be great, we never expected to sell thousands of them over the last decade.

Chapter 2 coming soon....
