MIKE KING

Over the course of the last several years we have built a good working relationship with Pierce and the team at Pro Gate.  For a small company, he has done a great deal for us in “Value in Kind” contributions of his time and equipment.  His financial support of our program is in excess of $20,000 USD.

We installed their Straight 8 Gate system in our 8 meter Supercross start ramp hill in Chula Vista, California.  This is a very difficult environment with salt air and dry desert heat alternating throughout the year.  That changing humidity and high variation in temperature can be very hard on machinery.

The system has worked well and has been very reliable with little maintenance on our part.  The entire United States Olympic team has trained on Pro Gate Systems.  On the rare occasion when we have had an issue, we called Pierce.  He has made himself available via cell phone at all hours of the day or night to help.  He is generally able to troubleshoot the issue over the phone and produce a solution very rapidly.  The bottom line is that he has done a great job for us at USA Cycling and our partners at the United States Olympic Training Facility in Chula Vista.
