early years Jesse Puente :I started riding when I was very young but I started to get serious when I was 14 with BMX racing and jumps. I was riding ABA tracks and then I got into ramps. At 16 or 17, I started to flatland.

Jesse Puente : I moved to Los Angeles when I was 16.

1994 Jesse Puente is the first rider sponsored by Morales bike company

Jesse Puente was featured on the cover of Ride US #10 june july 1994 riding a Morales frame at the 1994 BS contests round 1 in Moreno Valley.
Sergio, june 2005 : Jesse won first place in qualifying on Saturday, February 27, 1994.  The picture on the cover of Ride #10 was taken during that qualifying run. Flatland finals were held the following morning, Sunday, February 28, 1994.  Jesse touched too much and got 2nd Place.  First place went to Trevor Meyer, whose near flawless run was a near duplicate of a Chase Gouin/Dorkin' 5 vid. During finals on Sunday, Jesse pulled a slow, one-handed bankroll (only about one rotation), and a spinning stick-bitch perfectly.  He started his run with a jump-lash to g-turn on the front peg to rolling junk-yard, to cross-footed lardyard, to backwards peg-wheelie, jumped to lardyard on his normal side, attempted to roll that to time-machine w/ bike backwards, but was going too slow and crashed.  It's the same combo you see in "Wheelies." The day before (Saturday, when that cover pic was taken), during qualifying, Jesse drove the crowd mad when he g-turned a dump-truck.  This move was common between him and Richard Zabzdyr (check out Richard in "Ring the Gack").  Jesse did a high-speed dump-truck, g-turned the bike and started rolling backwards holding the front tire with his free hand for control, and then, brought the bike to a dead stop with his scuffing foot and started doing a stick-bitch.  The crowd went nuts as it was an improvised move that no one, probably not even Jesse, was expecting.  He pulled the stick-bitch and seconds later, he began the combo that included the lardyard which appears on the cover of Ride #10.

1996 KHE Premium Lagger frame designed by Jesse Puente. The Premium Lagger was a new generation of a flatland frame. It ended up changing the way flatland frames looked forever with its pure flatland specified geometry. Every detail has been tailored for flatland.
My friend Jon Mata drew the design on paper as I describeed it to him and Sean White put it on CAD. Thomas Goring continued the prototyping.
