Now that Dave Mirra has his own powder coat facility and the freedom to do with his bike whatever he wants to, it is always a surprise in what color his bike shows up at the next contest. But his friends have discovered Dave’s new hobby too such as Specialized rider Allan Cooke who had his bike painted in a bright pink color with forks and bars to match. Daniel Dhers had his bike painted in dark purple with golden flakes by somebody up there near Woodward. He wanted to show Dave “What’s up” when it comes down to new paint jobs. Mike Spinner has a new color too, done by the same people, that you can see in the bike check right here. Make sure to check out Mike Laird’s bike too next time you see him (on TV). The “black frame only” days are definitely over. Bring on the colors. With Dave handling his own paint gun that will be taken care of. There’s a story about the new frame colors on the Dew AST website. You can read it by hitting this link.
