2014

Right after the new year we got a new prototype to test and we got help from a World Cup Legend Matti Lehikoinen. We did the first tests at Malaga, Spain. We were hosted by Swithc-Backs DH and Michael Saunders who became later our ambassador.

Leo won the Finnish National DH chanmpionships at Masters category and our ambassador and future employee Jussi Rajala was third.

Testing ideas

First prototypes were tested hard as a concept to our following products. Leo turned his ideas to reality and learned quickly from them.
