INDUSTRY NINE WHEELS
Chris Hunter
Chris is a local from Jackson, was married about three years ago to his wife Susan, and moved to Ashe ville, North Carolina where he currently works at a wheel manufacturing company called Industry Nine. They generally build mountain bike wheel sets, but Chris being the BMXer that he is tries to push the idea of producing BMX wheels. He was nice enough to allowed my brother and I ride a set of 20" wheels that they are testing . Thanks Chris and thanks Industry Nine. I hope that everyone likes what they see, because they are pretty fuck in kick ass!
There is a RideBMX that came out in November 2007 that advertises a wheel set by Round Wheels that is similar to Industry Nine's wheel set, but i have been telling everyone that Industry Nine's wheel set smokes the shit out of Round Wheel's.
