In L.A. County, there’s a
large valley, surrounded by mountain ranges, blossoming with new suburb
tract houses amongst farms of fruit growers. With the Santa Monica Mountains
on one side and the Santa Susanna Mountains on the other, this valley
offered incredible terrain for off-road motorcycling. During this time, one
young resident in the valley, Jim O’Neal, would hit the local dirt nearly
everyday on a modified Triumph. Jim soon started racing local events against
his peers, often winning against some of the best young talent in the United
States. Jim’s passion for racing simply couldn’t be stopped. It was then he
realized the need for better parts, accessories, and apparel for motocross.
A company was born… O’NEAL USA established itself in 1970 and still carries
the same passion that founded the company to this very day, racing
motocross! |
