Jameson Distributing

Jameson Distributing represented the pinnacle of Kansas City BMX ambition — founded in 1983, a locally-rooted team with national factory backing. Patterson was one of the respected frame and component brands, and Zeronine was the pinnacle of BMX apparel of the 1980s BMX boom. Having a KC-based team flying their flag was a point of enormous regional pride. The roster reads like a who's-who of the metro's top talent, including four District Champions and two AA Pros. Their presence on the regional and national circuit put Kansas City on the map as a breeding ground for elite-level racers. This was the team that proved KC riders could compete anywhere. All this came to fruition when a man named Dave Mazepink came to watch a race at the Optimist VFW track. As luck would have it, Dave had been the owner of a bike shop in California named Cyclepath — and he had been Brent Patterson's first sponsor.
