AS THE RACE TO THE GAMES HEATS UP

faoro face Portland, Oregon (CFEpr+) May 4, 2012– – Heralded as one of the top up-and-coming BMX Pro’s in the World, Florida’s Tyler Faoro has joined the Phoenix Pro Cycles family for 2012 and beyond. Tyler completed initial testing of his Talon BMX frame on the just-finished London replica BMX track at the Olympic Training Center (OTC) in Chula Vista, California this week as representatives from Phoenix Pro Cycles and USA Cycling gathered information to ensure his best possible set-up for the upcoming World Cups and Olympic Trials.

“I’m pumped to become a part of the Phoenix Factory Racing Team,” states 22-year-old Tyler, “the frame is stiff in the right spots, compliant in the others, and really helps me get my sprint on coming out of the start gates on these Olympic courses. And it looks like no other bike on the planet!”

Also present at the OTC were Phoenix Cycles owner Tom Floyd, framebuilder and fabricator Tony Garza, former Pro BMX’er and current Psychological Consultant to the Phoenix Pro Cycles team Dr. Jason Richardson, and USA Cycling’s Mike King.

 

“This is a great achievement for Phoenix,” says Floyd, “in our second year as a brand, we’ve gone from having a top USA BMX amateur team to having a solid contender for the Olympics. Whether he makes the team or not this year is almost irrelevant. His feedback and reputation are already doing more for our brand than we could have expected. When he

brought our bike out to his local track, we immediately received a bunch of orders. I can’t wait to see what other benefits come from this great relationship.”

Keep your eyes on the Phoenix Factory Team as we contest the USA BMX National Championship Series and work our way towards Olympic glory with Tyler Faoro.
