When we
started talking about a new site about a year ago, we all knew it had to be
something we could be proud of. Not just
a modified template, but something worthy of the Sinister name that would profile
the talent of our Team Riders and showcase our bikes.
The search
for someone to do this work was extensive and ended on a recommendation from a
close friend Mark Anastas at the Liquid Dreams Surf Shop in ME. He always talked so highly of his “web guy”
so we set up a meeting.
From the first
time we met Michael DeSouza and Justin Velgos at cgCraft llc. we knew it was
going to be great. We came with some
ideas and it was uncanny how they were thinking the same thing. Michael and Justin ran with it and we were blown
away by the initial designs they sent us. Everyone knew this was going to be something great and we can’t thank
Michael and Justin enough for the incredible amount of work that went into the site
with a truly amazing outcome.
It goes
without saying that the content of the site would not have been possible
without Bruce, Frank or Skye.
Bruce
continues to keep Sinister rolling everyday by doing everything in his power to
answer questions, getting the bikes out and helping to secure the future of
Sinister Bikes.
FTW for
creating the brand and bike that we can now showcase as the works of art they
really are. Also for all the bike
descriptions…and yes Bruce Gordon did give FTW some big 700C tires more than
ten years ago.
Skye for
all of the incredible photography on the site. Skye is the first to say that the Team Riders, Sasha, Derek, Knight and
Dane are the ones that should be thanked, but Skye’s ability to capture the
talent of these amazing athletes is something that takes years to accomplish.
And of
course, the veteran Team Riders, Sasha Yakovleff, Knight Ide, Derek Stevens and
Dane Berke. The commitment that these
four riders have given over the years and the need for it to be recognized is
the reason why we began this work in the first place.
Finally, to the Sinister Family of riders,
supporters, satellite teams and bike shops. We appreciate your continued support and hope you enjoy what we have in
store for you.
So, PLEASE
continue to support your local bike shops and Authorized Sinister Dealers. If you are not sure who that is in your area,
give us a call and we will let you know. Sinister has always offered direct sales, but encourage everyone to talk
to your local shop, get to know them and have them help you get on a Sinister
Bike. You won’t be disappointed.
Thanks again to Michael and Justin at cgCraft llc. up in Portland, ME
