Crupi Parts, Inc is proud to announce the signing of Myles Wamsley. Myles is actually one of Crupi's better stories to tell. Myles joined Crupi's Team Green Co-Sponsorship program nearly 2 years ago as a Novice rider and quickly moved up in rank. Myles continued to get better and better due to his determination and perhaps the fact that has been trained by ex-Crupi Factory Team Manager Turnell Henry didn't hurt either! Being true to the Crupi Team Green Program, Crupi took notice of Myles rise up the ranks as he began making National Event mains. We could no longer see Myles as just a co-sponsored rider so we moved him up to the full Factory Team! This type of determination and consistency with Crupi's Team Green Program is proof positive that anyone can benefit from this program.

Myles is from Henderson, Nevada and has qualified to represent both Crupi and Team USA at the World Championships in Adelaide Australia this summer.
