is on there more than any other rider in Redline history. (11 total - including NAG No.1's). 
Hayashi came to Redline from the Gordy's Bike Shop team and was chosen for the "new millenium" Redline squad due to her superior jumping skills and future Pro potential. During the win-filled mid-2000's, Kim and her Redline bike helped the company score Podium sweeps and set numerous BMX records - including the only 5-consecutive NBL No.1 Elite Women title. She took her Redline to a Jr. World Champ title; earning the honor of wearing the rainbow stripes. And when not out front winning, Kim was often times involved in some of the most spectacular crashes the sport has seen during the past decade. 
If Kim wasn't winning, you can bet that she'd be crashing while going for a victory-making move. It's a reputation that not only gave her an e-mail address and nickname of KrashinKim, but along with her incredible power in such a petitie (4' 10") package, it earned her the respect of all Pro Women she has ever raced against. Despite her short physical stature, anybody who has seen Kim in shorts can attest to her leg strength. 
During her time on Redline, Kim was the reason behind creating the popular Expert Xl size of frame. In 2005, she rode a 1-off, purple Flight frame with the slightly longer front end. This frame would be added to the production line for 2006 as the Proline Expert LE, and then made in to a Flight Expert XL model in 2007.While riding for Redline Bicycles, Kim has juggled a full schedule of activities outside of BMX - from graduating highschool with an amazing 4.8 GPA, playing highschool softball, to attending ASU and chasing her Batchelor's degree. By 2006, she was the USA's top Olympic pick, and had set her goal for a Medal of any color. Unfortunately a lot can happen in tw
o years and those frequent crashes soon got the best of her in the qualifying season for the Olympic Games - forcing her out of contention with an injured shoulder that will be operated on soon. Redline would like to thank Kim for her service and dedication these past 9 years, and wishes her the best of luck in her future - whether it be going for Olympic qualification in 2012 , racing part-time for the Gordy's team, or going on to become an Orthodontist. We know first hand that whatever Miss.Hayashi sets her sights on, she will give it more than 100% and blasts toward completion of that goal as if a World title were on the line. That is something that the sport of BMX Racing, along with riding for team Redline, has taught her. "Always give it your all."
