KHIRO SKATEBOARD PRODUCTS

JASON "RACER-X" MITCHELL

In California I was introduced to surfing and skateboarding at a young age, and just loved these activities infinitely more than Disneyland. Later, the lifestyle that accompanied these activities would captivate me and at some point, around age 8 or 9, I was hooked. Now, skateboarding and other board sports come second only to family and friends. I feel honored and privileged to be a part of what to me is everything, and when everything on my body hurts from slamming, it just reminds me how lucky I am. I just want to thank my lovely wife Terri; without her support things would not feel the same- thanks sweety. I am very stoked to be a part of the Khiro team and I can't say enough good things about thier products. Keep it hardcore and do it for the love.

(Jason rides all the bushings and risers on many different set ups, as he is not only; the current 4 Time Overall World Slalom Racing Champion, but also a hardcore vert ripper hailing from Colorado!) Go COSS!!

As an all around skater, Mollica is a Hard Charger and as a Competitor he is Fierce and Fearless. He does it all.

Chicken has been riding pools, parks, pipes, bowls, schools, and ditches for years and started racing slalom around 2000. In 2002, Chicken won the World Overall Slalom Championship Title by racing hard, being consistent and charging any course on any and all terrain.

Chicken heads up Pocket Pistol Skates and Manx wheel brands- Currently the World's Fastest Slalom racing decks and wheels on the planet! Together with Team Pocket Pistols, and Team Black Leather Racing, Chicken tours the world and competes in slalom and park slalom/DeathRace™ events all over.

MIKE MAYSEY

Mike Maysey has a powerful and graceful style that comes from a lifetime of skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding. He quietly slipped into the world of slalom skateboard racing at the 2001 World Championships after being introduced to the sport by Jack Smith only a few months prior. His frustration in missing the top 16 turned to success when he met Jack’s longtime friend and skate partner, 2002 World Champion Paul Dunn. He began chasing Paul for the next couple years which helped him finish 5th overall in his first full season of racing competition sanctioned by Fat City Racing in 2002. It’s now 3 years later and this summer has been his most successful season to date. With recent help and guidance from slalom legend, Steve Evans, he’s become one of the most dangerous (not to mention youngest pro slalom) skaters in the world today. So far this season he’s won the Overall Title at the BLR Pump Station Outlaw Race Series as well as being invited to represent the USA as one of a 10 man Radikal Racing team. In Stockholm, Mike pulled down a 3rd in Giant Slalom and a 2nd in Special Slalom giving him 4th place overall against the worlds best skateboard racers ever assembled.

Look for more of Mike on the podium this year riding Khiro bushings, risers, and more under his finely tuned Skaterbuilt Racing Decks.

JOHN O'SHEI

“J.O.” is a Hard-core-no-BS kinda’ guy who does not take any crap from anybody, anywhere.

John also spends the winters in Jackson Hole or Vail Colorado where he is an honorary Ski Patrol elite racer who can be found cutting the first tracks down the triple diamond runs before the mountain opens.

As an accomplished Ski racer; it is only natural that J.O. is also a hard charging BLR Speedboarder / Downhiller, Pool rider, and Slalom Racer. Originally hailing from Nor Cal, this O.G. “N-Man” has been around since the 1970’s raising hell and having fun. John can usually be found training hard at his home on the beach in Malibu, where many an all night training session has been keeping him in raging party animal shape! J.O. still holds the “Lord of Loretta” racing title and is always a force at any event he enters or shows up at. John’s bushings, hardware, and risers of choice are Khiro; as nothing else can hold up to the beating this Irish brawler can dish out.
