HISTORY and EVENTS
History
J.T.
Stalled Lawnmower for the State Fair 2002 crowd!
Lived in Los Angeles '87-'90
A.K.A.  JT, RL, The Torker Kid, Gnarly Man, and Train Man
JT - Obvious!
RL - RL and I had the same hair style and when wearing my Wayfarer's I kind of looked like him.  When living in Los Angeles my friends started calling me that and when riding with Robert Lewis he heard about it and called me that too!

The best story is when our team pulled up to check out the General show in MN and the promoter thought I was RL?  We got the red carpet treatment but finally told them that we are another team.  RL's truck blew up in Michigan and couldn't make it to the show so we did it for them. 
Gnarly Man - Was dubbed that at my first Mountain bike race on ice.  They had ice berms and I was the only one to ride them on the very top.  A group started yelling "Gnarly Man" during the song "Iron Man"
Train Man - I have been collecting Lionel Trains since I was seven and have a huge collection!
The Torker Kid - Twin Ports Cyclery in '79 dubbed me this due to riding a Torker
Ramp it up!!!
