Guys Im trying to track down Linda Woods contact details. She was the last owner of Whitebear Race Products, the makers of Whitebear. So if you know her or of her can you let me know as Im trying to get a bit of a history together and maybe some photos etc.

Cheers Adrian

Was that an old school, mid school or new school company?

I remember being at a White Bear team meeting at the 1989 ABA Grands.

White Bear was early mid-school.

Never saw one in person, that I remember.

my sons first race bike was a white bear mini i have to find that picture!!

Mike Ervin, a local 36-40 cruiser racer here was on factory White Bear in the late 80's in Cali. You can find him over at our site...... Utah BMX.com.

Amanda Rhoades from Michigan rode 4 WB. Her mom told me she sold all her uniforms and bikes at a garage sale a couple years ago. Ugh that hurt! I doubt they have a contact number its been too long. Christy Homa also rode for WB. 89 was probanly about the end.

All the white bears I saw were other bikes with white bear stickers.
I remember a dude from Austin bragging he was on wb....I was a pissy kid with many sharp replies back then...boy, was I proud of how badly I wilted his afternoon.
I am such a jerk.

Nice one 4130 Anyone got a nice pic of the Whitebear forks?

If I'm remembering right at least some of the Whitebears were made by Jim Elmore who also made Reusts as well as Schwings and the early Patriot hacks for Scott Barrette. As for Linda Woods, you might try calling Bruce or Linda at Oak Creek BMX(ie:Roseville). If not Scott might know something. The original owner of Whitebear, Lonnie something I think was from the central valley somewhere. Merced, Madera, somewhere like that.

Thanks Randy for that info, do you have any contact details for Scott or Jim Elmore - website or something?

Ill look up the details for Oak Creek BMX club. Have to work out time differences - Im in Australia.

Cheers Adrian

Jim Elmore???? I'm not positive that was his name, it was something like that. Scott would know.

Here's a picture of the White Bear I won my last NBL National Championship on in 1989. Still have it and it still looks to be in good shape.

Hi Scott. If you ever want to sell it give a yell.
