Bob Morales after selling DYNO to GT went to work for them until he left to start Auburn Cycles which he turns around and sells to GT a little over a year later too. These acquisitions were to take on a powerhouse of a bike company in Freestyle in the mid to late 80вЂ™s prior to that GT had been the top BMX company, that bike company which is still a game changer is Haro bikes, hereвЂ™s something kinda funny, Bob Haro creator and CEO of Haro just happened to be friends with several former top BMX riders which included R.L.вЂќBobвЂќOsborn and Bob Morales, known in some inner circles as вЂњThe Three BobsвЂќ, вЂњThe 3 BвЂ™sвЂќ & вЂњThe BobsвЂќ. later becoming DYNO Bicycles and sold it to GT prior to them buying Powerlite/Robinson. After GT bikes bought out Powerlite they also went on to acquire Auburn Cycles which had been started by the Bob Morales who also started DYNO Desgins Inc. HereвЂ™s a few things i know, GT stands for one of its founders Gary Turner who initially hand welded a bike for his son. He could race better then most people knew. He even had a column in Bicycle Motocross Action. Rob was a part of BMX since the beginning. The city tore down the main table top we built with the bulldozer, we had named the jump Volcano. The main berm is still there, though alot smaller and buried under weeds. Horse riders ruined the track and it fell into disrepair. Ironically just as they began testing bikes there I joined the Navy and never saw any of the sessions or got to join in.

When he saw all the progress we were making on the track he got us a bulldozer! Then magazines heard about our вЂњnewвЂќ track and began testing bikes there. Mr Leper? had the water hose for us to drink from thru his fence. He was friends with Ryan who later joined the Marines. Craig lived near the water fountain and had I think Dalmations. Got to be friends with a couple of the locals Ryan and Craig. When they filled in the bowl area, the lines I remember where named colossus, jawbreaker and suicide. I was one of the kids that helped turn the вЂњLakebedвЂќ into a track. In fact when my cruiser got stolen I bought RobвЂ™s old Floval Flyer this was around 1987-88.

If anyone knows the exact date please let me know and I will edit this.ДЄnyone have any additional information please post a comment and I will update the pages as needed. Powerlite and Robinson seemed to get lost in the transition and where bought by GT Bicycles around 1986 or 87. While races where still drawing a thousand racers and freestyle events just a few, the magazine coverage was mostly freestyle. It appears Freestyle took over the pages of the BMX magazines and the hardcore race companies that didnвЂ™t adapt quickly enough, were left out in the cold.

The product line included full uniforms and custom helmets, bikes and even numberplates. They sponsored BMX Action test rider Kirk Chrisco and another legend Tommy Brackens. Late in 78 or early 79 this would change and the decals would read Powerlite.Д«y the early 1980вЂ™s BMX was booming. The decals on them used the bike shops name, Peddlepower. In 1977 it appears they released their first production bike, the SR.

Dennis went on to fame racing for Redline and Cooks Bros. Early riders included вЂњThe Red BaronвЂќ himself, Dennis Dain. Being close to such a early and famous track helped launch the shop into sponsoring a team.
