Washougal? I remember reading that it was all done with elmers glue and glitter. Can't imagine what it would weigh. I think Swink ran it, too.

Gotta say im pretty stoked to see a good picture of this bike. We made Deegan and Swinks sparkle bikes in my backyard and i remember these bikes blowing peoples mind. I think it would be fair to say that this was a historic bike. No one had ever seen anything like it. Thats what Moto XXX was all about. Doing off the wall shit that stood out. Its to bad we didnt save it as is but, we were on a very tight small budget at this time. I want to say i recall Deegan getting 7th overall on that bike. Such good times back in those days. If you have more pictures of this bike and/or Swinks, id love to see them. I know i've got video footage somewhere from filming while i was up there.

That's pure moto pimpage! I was at Washougal and remember Deegan & Swink both throwing tricks over the Chuck Sun table on these bikes. Was it the same year Taylor got the holeshot in the main and threw a huge whip first lap? Good times.............

This picture is so awesome! I love it. That bike is simply bad ass. One might think its ugly but not me, i think its straight up sick. Of course i helped create it but ya. Also, thats our original box van in the background. When we pulled that thing into the first race at A1, people were so stoked on it. It was for sure the wildest box van in the pits and thats exactly how we made our actual pit area, off the handle! We got in trouble EVERY weekend. I would be stoked to have a print of this picture. Again, such good times back then.
