Gary and Maria of ESI Grips are the greatest friends to have when it comes to racing in California! Of course their grips are the best and have kept my hands happy for a few years now and they've supported my racing and clinics. This time they outdid themselves though. I needed one of my bikes to be stored in southern California between the 2nd and 3rd ProXCT's. They loaded up my Jamis Dakota Team D29 after short track at Bonelli Park and took it home with them! The best part is that I got to pick it up on my way back to Fontana and see their offices! They have a tidy office in Hesperia with more grips than you can shake a stick at! I learned that 75% of their sales are overseas! They are just a great couple that happened to create the best grips on market and they are used all over the world. Just one more reason I love racing mountain bikes, I get to make friends like these!
