Here I am riding my AMP on the Cannell trail up in Kernville back in 1996. There's Pete in the back ground riding hi Merlin Ti. I can't make out who that is next to him. This was in October on Halloween weekend. It was a reported 27 degrees that day. Too cold for a kid from Hawaii.
Below was my Mongoose AMP. This bike went with me to many
trips to Kauai, Kernvillet, CA, Crested Butte, CO and all over the
Big Island of Hawaii. I have since upgraded to my Psycle Werks XC.
My AMP is now in the possesion of my brother Scott. The bike was
originally built by Troy Braswell at BC USA:
