In this edition of Spotlight, we talk to one of the three partners at Asterisk, Mike Beier. Mike was born in Frankfurt, Germany, but his family moved to Novato, California, when he was 18 months old. Growing up in the Bay Area of California, Mike and his group of friends all rode mini-bikes. One friend in particular raced locally and invited Mike to come out and race his first motocross race, and so it began.
