For those of you not familiar with Chad Kagy, he is a professional BMX rider and X-Games gold medalist from Gilroy, California. One of my all-time favorites.

But biking isn't his only passion, in his spare time he also enjoys custom rides.

One of his latest projects is this half-ton C/K truck. After a hit and run incident Kagy decided it was time to give the old girl a face lift. With the help of Brett Oakes (president of the Severed Ties truck club) the truck received an awesome sonic blue paint job, 20's, and bags.

Realizing some restoration parts were in order they placed a call to C/Kresto for the following:

CTP-8200DK - Chrome Grill Kit w/ Clear Diamond Headlights
ACC-MBRC - Mass Back Carpet Kit
CTP-3530C - Shift Lever Boot
CTP-17676 - Outside Mirror Switch
CTP-20708KIT - Weatherstrip Kit
CTP-22820 - Door Wiring Boot

Once finished, the truck went on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas during SEMA.

From the get go I was excited to hear that Chad Kagy needed parts from us. He was one of my idols back when I was a BMX punk sporting pedal wounds to the bone!

I can remember watching him in the early days of the X-Games (wearing his patented rebel flag brain bucket!). Towards the end of his run he launched his bike to the top of a ~40 ft. box on the street course. Once he got up there he had 2 choices: Ease the bike down or bomb drop down 40 ft. to a 4 ft. vert transition. I watched in AWE as he fell to the crushing pavement and rode away. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen! Just having the stones to do that, instantly made him one of my favorite BMX riders of all time.
