Growing up as a BMX rider in the 1980s, he spent countless hours riding dirt trails, shaping jumps, and learning how to push bikes\u2014and himself\u2014to the limit. Even back then, his passion for performance went beyond just riding; he was fascinating with the TIG-welded, chromoly construction of the BMX frames, an early sign of the engineering mindset that would later define his career.<\/p><p>His first taste of desert racing came in 1986, and it sparked a lifelong obsession with off-road competition. Over the years, Geoff not only raced but also supported numerous race teams, including Stan Parnell, Gale Pike, Ivan Stewart, Andataco Racing, and Cameron Steele just to name a few.\u00a0 Here he gained an inside look at what vehicles\u2014and drivers\u2014really need to succeed. This hands-on experience as both an enthusiast and a team supporter led to the founding of <strong>Giant Motorsport<\/strong> in 2000, a company dedicated to building high-performance suspension systems.<\/p><p>But he wasn\u2019t content to stop there. Drawing on decades of racing insight, Geoff set out to create a shock that delivered more comfort in the rough and more progression in the big hits\u2014engineering a shock that keeps you fast, smooth, and in control, no matter how punishing the terrain.<\/p><p>Today, that same passion drives every set of shocks that leaves the shop. Whether you\u2019re a weekend warrior or a championship contender, Geoff and Solid Shock Company are here to give your ride the edge it deserves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5664d26 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5664d26\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-949b19f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"949b19f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fcf71a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4fcf71a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-807\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-scaled-1000x750.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG_0134-800x600.jpeg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35cbabe e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"35cbabe\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-898f759 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"898f759\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"562\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3999-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-843\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3999-1.jpg 562w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3999-1-400x265.jpg 400w, https:\/\/solidshocks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_3999-1-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 562px) 100vw, 562px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solid Shocks Company, our name stands for what we deliver: rugged strength, proven reliability, and high-performance shock absorbers built for the toughest off-road conditions.
