A truly nice guy,

I had brief contact with Jim via e-mail last year whilst restoring my Micro mini.
He was always so polite & ended all his messages with 'God bless you'.

Jmc's are a real work of art , craftsmanship at its finest.

Rip Jim.

It was always a genuine pleasure dealing with Jim, for someone that contributed so much to BMX he remained a humble, decent man.

Godspeed.

R.I.P. Jim, a true legend

The Man who refused to ship his company out of the USA because he believed in Quality more than the profit.

What a Great Man

Never had much involvement with JMC products but the items I did handle were a 'work or art'

A great loss of a true pioneer of our childhood/hobby

RIP Mr Melton.
