Just before the Toyota City Championship round of the Dew Tour, pro BMX rider Drew Bezanson’s fans had a chance to choose the customized bike design they wanted to see him ride at the event. Toyota, DK bicycles and Drew have just donated the exact bike that was ridden at BMX Dirt and Streetstyle events to the Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF)! Athlete Recovery Fund (ARF) is currently working to assist in the recovery of Brett Banasiewicz after suffering a traumatic brain injury just one week after he won BMX Park at the Dew Tour Pantech Beach Championships in Ocean City so we decided to offer Drew’s bike to the public.

If you challenge gets picked, it will be performed during the Nitro Circus show, and you will be right there watching it live at one of the shows in Germany.

Along the way the company grew into something awesome and one rider in the group began to shine as someone special in the BMX community; it was Mike Tagliavento from Ithaca, NY although many knew him simply as Tag or Mike Tag! As one of the founding members, and a huge part of the
