Team eXtreme

Bryan and Robert at Belle's Island

Robert, Bryan and Mike formed Team eXtreme in August of 2004. All had recently moved to Richmond, Virginia from Dallas, Texas. As a result, our lives and activities changed dramatically. Robert, was our Marco Polo. He came to Richmond before Bryan and Mike, and had set out to find all the crazy outdoor adventures that one man and his chubby little dog (Neo) could find. Upon joining Robert, Bryan and Mike learned the glories of landing on your face, over and over again! If you dare, take a peek out the Injury List for photos of our learning
opportunities.
 

Team Mottos:
  • Go Big or Go Home!
  • Pain is Temporary, Glory is Forever
  • Chicks dig scars...(not really, but it gets Mike through the pain!)
  • When is the last time you said you did something for the first time?

Team Favorites:

Favorite Music: Something Heavy and Hard!
Favorite TV show: Lost
Favorite movie: The Collective
Favorite Reading: Whatever Bike Porn we can find (Bike Magazine, Supergo Catalog, anything with bikes, photos, reviews, etc)
