Provenance / significance

JAD BMX was a small, rider-driven BMX brand founded by Mike DiMartino in the early 1990s. Operating on a limited scale, JAD produced small-run frames and related projects during a period when independent builders were experimenting with new BMX designs and materials. One of the most notable artifacts associated with the brand is the aluminum JAD prototype bike, a rare example of early 1990s experimentation with lightweight BMX construction. Artifacts like this help document the creativity and innovation of smaller builders working outside the major BMX manufacturers.

Additional information

Independent builders like Mike DiMartino were part of a wave of small BMX manufacturers during the late 1980s and early 1990s who experimented with alternative materials and custom fabrication techniques. Prototype bikes such as this aluminum JAD BMX example illustrate the innovative spirit of smaller BMX builders working alongside larger industry brands during that era.
