About The Boz Bros
Ben & Eric Bostrom’s career began on the dirt in the early 90’s. With several wins as dirt track racers, they progressively moved toward the asphalt, and dominated that field as well. Both are avid two-wheel enthusiasts and continue to influence the world of motorcycle racing. They graciously share their time with fans and fellow motorcycle supporters, and have consistently been fan favorites throughout their decorated careers. Eric is head development rider for Brammo electric motorcycles. Eric can often be found racing his mountain bike competitively, contributing articles for Cycle World magazine, hosting the 'Cafe Racer' television series, or most importantly spending time with his family. Ben is also an avid cyclist, and races mountain bikes professionally for Specialized Bicycles. Ben Bostrom, alongside his teammates, Micky Dymond, Dave Mirra, and Dave Zabriske, in June of 2014 won RAAM (Race Across America), which raises money for charitable causes. Ben’s first love is his wife and daughter. Second love, all things with two wheels. Ben’s hero Steve McQueen sums it up best, “When you’re riding, you’re living; everything else is just waiting.”

About Rickey Gadson
Gadson is a name that’s associated with speed. Because Rickey isn't your average drag racer, this champ has been all over the world. He's been a guest of the Mandela’s for his accomplishments in South Africa, as well as requested by director Reggie Bythewood as a consultant/stunt double with a cameo appearance in the star-filled motorcycle blockbuster movie ”BIKER BOYZ”. Rickey started racing at age 5. Born of two motorcycle-riding cparents, Rickey didn't plan to be a pro racer. He followed his undeniable urge to "go fast," and has now won more championships than any other African American athlete in motor sports.
