hello

Post by jahshines »

Hi, my name is Joey and I briefly worked at Barracuda in Durango in 1993 or 94. I was young and stupid and really did not understand how great the whole trip was at that point. I met so many famous mtb heros and met so many talented craftsmen at Barracuda and Yeti. I, at that point was not really even into fitness or biking, even though I raced BMX as a youngster I never made the jump to mountain biking. I worked in the warehouse picking orders and also drove to Yeti and picked up frames, and then stickered them. I was too young to just enjoy the ride and I eventually left and went to work at Carvers bakery, which was just fine, but I really wish I would have stuck it out at Barracuda a little longer. Anyway hello to all!!

I also remember Matty from the team giving me his personal bike to ride for a while to and from work, it was 19" I think but I loved that, I was sad to return it!

GREAT to have you here now and hope you enjoy our small group of Cuda fans. By chance do you ride one of your own now, if not you should make a copy of the team member's bike just for the joy of riding it again !
Relax and have deep water thoughts.

Welcome Joey. Always a pleasure to have a Barracuda alumni on board; we will likely have a LOT of questions for you. :)

Lots of great people out here who love the brand and the legend!
