Higher Ground Bicycle Co.

Music American Ramp Company had the most input on this. We, Niosho is known as the Flower Box City and one of the things American Ramp Company did was produce the, and I don't know exactly what the features called, but it's Flower Box and it's a ride through Flower Box. It has a track that goes through it and we, we plant flowers in there and it keep them watered all s Another feature here in this playground is the Rocketdyne Tunnel. Rocketdyne built rocket engines that actually sent our astronauts to the moon and it was located here at Niosho for years and the logo even, it's on the side of that tunnel. American Ramp Company found that somewhere and made it and put it on there. So it just kind of adds a little bit of history to our area, or of our area here for people to see, the people, especially the young folks that don't remember that. So as an artist, one of the coolest things for me is to be able to take these concepts from pen and paper and then move that over to the digital space which then goes to engineering and then ultimately becomes a rideable feature. Very popular. I say this is something we hadn't even planned. It came in on the bid, on the bid for the bike trails, the mountain bike trails that were building and the city council Another element of Morse Park is the high ground bike preserve and so one of the things that Niosho needed us to help them with was their logo, creating a name and signage and also wayfinding and to be able to really tie all this together for the trail system that they were trying to produce out there. And in Niosho, they have tried and tried to revive downtown Niosho and the bicycles are what's doing it. Niosho has taken what we've created and they've used that in their trails, their signage and as well as their social media and that has given them a voice and that's what branding is all about. I have gotten calls all over the United States from Virginia and West Virginia, Oregon, Washington, Northern California from towns that are talking about doing what we've done here and that's kind of interesting because you don'think of Niosho as being a leader in a lot of things but maybe we are with our bicycle parks.
