However some do win titles and earning an overall championship in their rookie year is an even greater accomplishment. And that’s exactly what one 16-year-old high school racer did this past season. Like many motorcycle racers, he got an early start in the two-wheeled world. “I remember when I first started riding I was about 2-years-old with some training wheels on a little PW50,” Austin

    Tech One Designs in Minden, Nevada makes graphics and apparel for racers, both amateur and professionals. Sometimes finding the right business takes a while and sometimes it’s something a person was trained to do in the first place. For Barry “Jamie” Bonner his route to opening and building Tech One Designs was like that. “I went to school for graphic design in Seattle and did that until 2000 when I moved to Tahoe,” he said. “Then I got out of it, had many jobs and made snow board videos for a snowboard shop.” Eventually he and his wife later bought
