Jay Miron, www.macneilbmx.com, 2004: When I was setting up our deal with Seventies Distribution we needed a UK rider. Ian brought up Alistair's name. I rode with Alistair a few years earlier when he was a camper at Woodward and had lots of fun. I had to pull some strings to get Alistair into his first ESPN contest in Anahiem. Then he showed up and got fifth place. That same year he finished second at the X Games. I knew he was good but what the hell?

www.macneilbmx.com, june 2003: Alistair Whitton just finished the Little Devil Tour in France and it sounds like it was a good time. He made it to the FISE comp in Montpellier (old Palavas) and did well, he got 3rd in street and won the mini-ramp contest. He rode vert as well! Congrats to both of them!! Ali is going to be competing at the Global X-Games in Texas later this month too.

September 2004: Ali is riding and testing a sample of his signature frame. It's set up with a Internal headset, a Press fit BB. So far so good. He's enjoying riding it and putting it through the paces, he just got second at the LG contest so you know it's working out for him. Look for a few changes on the production frames that will be out in the spring. You can also see Ali on the cover of the latest BMX Plus wearing a red shirt with no logo. That's because Plus doesn't support the Devil. Even if it's a Little Devil. With all the great coverage he's been getting he'll be back up to four pair of shoes a month in no time.
Specs : 20.9 top tube, 74.5 degree headtube, 71 degree seat tube, 14.25 chainstay length, Gusset on down tube, Duel straight cable, routing (brake bastard style), Internal and Press fit BB only, Heat treated BB, Head tube, and Dropouts, Full Japanese seamless chromoly tubing.

Derek Adams, www.littledevilbrand.com, april 2005: Oakley has made him an offer to ride for them, which includes not only sunglasses but their clothing as well. This will mean bigger and better things for Ali so we're psyched for him. He's a cool guy and he deserves it, that's why we sponsored him in the first place. Also, this will allow us to help some new riders come up on the team. So bring on the am's! And remember Alistair, the devil still gets your soul. You should have read the fine print in your contract, sucka!
Alistair, www.littledevilbrand.com, april 2005: hey everyone i just want to let you know that i'am stepping off the little devil team, it's been 5 of the best years of riding and hanging out with D-rock and the team, derek took me under his wing and helped me out so much,he has taken me all around the world and weve had the funest sessions riding. I want to thank you so much for the opportunities and great times.. Oakley clothes and sunglasses have givin me a great opportunity to represent them and I'm really happy about it, Derek doesnt want me to miss this chance to progress in life so were still going to be mates and thats all I want....thanks to everyone at little devil...cheers boys...
