They’re noticeable to spectators in person and to viewers on TV: the unique 3D Regions Tradition tee markers in the shape of the bank’s iconic bike brand.
Forrest Satterfield created them in 2015 because, well, someone asked if it was possible. That’s what Satterfield likes to do – take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.
“When the Bruno Event Team (which coordinates the Tradition) first reached out to me, I’d just received my first funding from an investor – $25,000,” Satterfield said. “I had one 3D printer, one scanner, and I was running everything out of my apartment. I was terrified. I didn’t know how I was going to pay the rent.”
