So ESPN/EXPN posted the first part of an interview they did with Jon Byers, one of the founders of Eastern Bikes and a one-time vert shredder. There’s some interesting tidbits in there (Eastern was started with $3,000) and it’s worth reading—but personally, I’m more interested in Part II, where Byers (and Leigh Ramsdell?) will discuss “where Eastern is going next, about slicing slots in seattubes, making mountainbikes, and pushing the boundaries of BMX technology in good directions.”

Whoops, just threw up a little bit.

I hope Byers also explains why NASCAR engineers are qualified to design BMX frames that do more than go fast and turn left. And maybe he could also comment on Project Tank, which goes fast and doesn’t really turn at all.
