Are they aimed at the older rider?

Mr Spicoli purchased his 22" Zietgiest (not an Amero), not sure about anyone else having to buy theirs or not.

Lee Reynolds had a blast on Fiola's and loved it apparently......I'm waiting for the CC model and I'm having one too!

Did you know that Faction are the first BMX company to sponsor a pro skater? about time this happened in my opinion!!!!

I thought a few of the bmx companies bitd sponsored skaters, first one that springs to mind is Fred Blood and I'm sure that CW and a couople of others did too :daumenhoch:
