Company: Crupi Parts

Interbike booth number: 5220

-Have you decided to be part of the BMX zone this year and why (why not)? No, even though we are a pure BMX racing company, that BMX zone is not really our style.

-What new products are you bringing to Las Vegas that people need to check out? Our new Rhythm line of wheels and cranks are a must see!

-Any special activities going on at the booth during the show? Just my absence most of the time as I will be at meetings all show long; but I will find some time to spend in the booth.

-How many people are going to help out in your booth during the show? We are sharing the booth with our frame builder Yess Products so a couple guys from Yess and 2 of us from Crupi.

-Are you actually taking orders at the show or is it more to show products to the dealers and get contacts? It has been nearly 10 years since we had a booth at Interbike so our main focus is to let dealers know we are still around and to see some of our new products.

-Are any of your riders coming to Interbike? Liam Phillips of England will be there. He was one of 32 riders in the Olympics!

-Would you think a contest at Interbike would be a good idea since loads of people (industry/riders/media) are there already? I think a pro or pro/am race would work best at Interbike! Anything to pump up the sport and show people what BMX racing is all about would be great.

-What party are you looking forward to? I don't party anymore so just business and sleep!

-What would make the 2008 edition of Interbike a success for you? Enthusiasm from our dealers about the new Rhythm line as we built this new line just for the dealers!
