    The cease and desist letter from GT turning ProFormer to Former Pro just made it way radder! I love the name Former Pro!!!!

    I cannot believe that GT would not allow this man to produce a bike style that they are no longer producing. Regardless, if the name sounded similar, this man is responsible for the legacy of GT existing they should be ashamed of themselves. They owe man millions of dollars for all that he did for that company and this sport in fact, his name will last forever and when you think of GT you will think of him Eddie Fiola is one of the greatest of all time, leave the man alone and cut that check that he deserves

      He's responsible for the performer all around,, can go FK off, he put the company on the map to start with 👍💯💯FK them, but I heard that GT was sold and Gary Turner no longer owns Any stake in GT this was years ago he sold out and so was the Dyno brand sold 😭

    Met Eddie by accident a few years ago. Crazy thing is I was telling a friend if there's one rider I want to meet is Eddie Fiola, and boom he was at a my local bike shop standing next to me. I freaked out, and was like a 14 yr old all over again. So glad he's a part of bmx these days for us old guys.🍻

    So cool! I got to see him ride in 1984 for my first time in Huntington beach. There's a video on UA-cam the day I was there. I rode my Hutch Pro Raider that I built up with my paper route money that I got from the same shop. The good old days, I was 12 at the time. So cool to see Eddie still riding.

    Awesome bike! It was just like my pro performer frame I had back in 1987 a rare day glow orange my parents got me, a custom build from PJ 's cycle center Lake Mary Florida. That same PJ Cycle Center in Lake Mary FL would be where I would be sponsored and where I would see my first B M X freestyle show with Eddie Fiola and Martin Aparijo. I was just 15 in the 14-15 intermediate class in the AFA Florida series. It was awesome to see him a couple of times back in those days, he was a major influence on my routines with that fun showmanship! And I went to this with a couple of buddies and everybody was there I still got some pictures!

That’s what I should’ve done with my T1 barcode S&M Neil wood frame & GT ultra box actually had a small connection GT. There’s one bike I wish I still had was huffy promise that thing came stack with everything you needed all the way down to profile cranks and profile racing hubs now a stock bike that it got left it at the NBL grand nationals in Lexington Kentucky.
