My Name is Randy and I own BIKE ONE a bicycle shop very close to where Nick is doing his program, You can find us on facebook to see it is a real store. What Nick is doing is indeed a service to the community and is helping many families fulfill their childrens dreams. Nick may not be able to control how many of them race the bikes after they recieve them but he is doing everything he can to see to it they have what they need to get started. He has impacted many lives in a positive manner and has a lot of people backing him at this point myself included. Maybe more people need to do something like this rather than being negative about it and it would be a great success for the sport of BMX and positive for kids everywhere.
BIKE ONE
Nick is a true hero in this sport ,I have never seen anyone go out of there way as much as nick does to make sure every bike he gives away is perfect in every way for each child.
In my 28 years being involved in bmx the last 10 nationally and the last 5 as a track operator i never seen one person do so much work and put so much time into helping get kids on the track as nick has.
Nick you have my full support and the support of Freedom bmx track in indiana any time
ED
This bike was donated by Nick to a local church " bikes and blades " youth ministry program, there are low income apartments behind the church and this bike is used by kids who don't have bikes so they can participate. This program has now grown into a city-wide event, and they were going to different churches around town during the summer.

Just got word that the beautiful retrobmx custom seat will be sitting on a beautiful NEW Thompson 25.4 silver elite post. THIS ROCKS. WELL OVER $200 IN SEAT/POST COMBO FOR THE JAD RAFFLE BIKE..
GET YOUR TICKETS SOON!!!
The Thomson Elite seatpost is the standard by which all other seatposts are judged. Forged clamps, integrally machined head, and an elliptically extruded 7000 series aluminum body make the Elite and Setback Elite industry models for strength, light weight and ease of adjustment
If you know someone at your local track who needs a bike, I have 1 new freeagent to ship. I am not going to build this one up. PM me with details. Looking for a kid who shows intrest, maybe uses a track loaner, and has no way to get a bike.
