The History of Oakley By Harrison Boyce

Here's a few words from Harrison Boyce about this amazing video he created...
This past year, I got the chance to go down to the Oakley headquarters in California to check out the re-issue of the infamous B-1B grip that Oakley was working on. While I was down there, I took the opportunity to put together a video giving a little history and background to the brand. Oakley is a company that does a billion dollars a year in sales, has stores all over the world, and has created some of the most iconic eyewear of my generation… and I’m pretty sure not many people know that Oakley started out by making BMX grips.

I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike Bell, a former AMA Supercross champion and employee of Oakley who started in 1985, to tell the story of how Oakley went from a small grip company to one of the biggest eyewear brands in the world. Thanks to Brian Takumi, Mike Bell, Dylan Radloff, and Mark Scurto for making this happen.

Help Fight Leukemia & Lymphoma With Team In Training

Kelly Potter—A HUGE Inspiration To Team In Training
Angela Wright & Her Mentor, Jen



In the end, the only thing that matters is the individuals we love. If there is anything we can do along the way to help fight or cure potential illnesses' for the people we care for most, the only question is why not?

Previously on our blog, we posted some info to help one of our former employees, Michael Wright, fight Multiple Sclerosis. Currently, Michaels wife, Angela, is training to complete The VineMan Full Ironman Triathalon on the mission to wipe out blood cancer. This event was inspired by her best friend; Kelly Potter that grew up right there in Novato with us all, who passed away. If there is anything you can do to help, wether it is to join the Team In Training, go to the triatholon on July 30, 2011, or make a donation, your genuine support will be truly be appreciated.

Click HERE to view Angela Wright's page for the Team In Training, who are trying to raise funds to help find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and myleoma.

Biketoberfest 2010 Recap

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful Saturday this past weekend to check out the Biketoberfest. Tons of great people celebrating bikes, good food, & West Coast breweries. Truly an amazing crowd and set up in the FairAnselm plaza near downtown Fairfax. The highlight would definitely have to be the 40 vintage bikes on display, dating back to the 1930s. Everything was truly a blast! We might just have to get a booth set up for 2011. Thanks to Kathy for the heads up about Biketoberfest and to Nick, Allie, & Bobby for making it out!
