What ever happened to Pistol Pete Loncarevich?
- Thread starter Inclag
- Start date
A few years ago Pistol got into some sort of martial arts and captained some rollerblade halftime-type show team (no joke).
Toby bought the Intense' BMX piece and owned/operated the exclusive vendor of the ABA series last year, which just bailed, so who knows right this moment.
Any other old names? Hmm...Miles Rockwell uh, well, you know...

I saw Pete in either a UFC or PRIDE fighting tournament, can't remember which. He didn't do so well but just making it to one of those is nothing to scoff at.
Isn't Toby Henderson doing T.H.E. (Toby Henderson Enterprises) stuff now?

I was good friends with Pete for awhile. He owns his own Jujitsu Dojo and was participating in UFC as well as PRIDE fights. (no joke i saw the videos, nasty).
He also took over managing a freestyle scooter team, not rollerblade, just as weird.
I have sort of lost touch over the last few years, but I still see him online from time to time.
Toby just bought the Intense Tire line as well, and will be at all the nationals i believe (he was at otter)

I remember Pistol from my BMX days back in the 80's. I think he rode for diamondback and had his own line of seatposts or handlebars.
I think that Pete took over a family bisness doing some sort of flooring. He did study under the Gracie's (not sure if thats spelled right) fighting style, one reason he was/is good. He really could have shined as a DH'er but let the mental pressures get to him to much, like worring about what tire or gearing to use instead of just kicking arse.
lol, I like that!
I thought that Derrin (sp) Stockton bought that?
Actually, Derin Stockton is running the Santa Cruz Syndicate along with Kathy Sessler.........only know this cause I saw the registration info for the team for the Snowshoe NCS a few days ago.
I remember looking at Pistol Pete at a National one time, and thinking he is the kind of dude that you just don't mess with.
Hey, turns out I was right.
He was a nice guy though.
He just reminded me of one of those dudes in that gang from Point Break. The one when Anthony Kiedis said "That would be a waste of time."

He actually rode for CW in his early days - he even had his own signature model the "CW Pistol Pete" before switching over to Haro in the late 80's.
..one of the first "how-to" articles I ever saw was Toby Henderson showing how to do a tabletop jump on a bmx bike. BMX Action like '82 or something.
I don't remember anything from school that year but I can still see that article in my head.
Drunkcyclist.com occasionally has gonzo-style emails from someone calling themselves pistol pete, not sure if it's the same guy.

Pete always looked bad ass at the races....big ass dude with tats and a big ass rotti dog. SUPER nice guy though.

I have (somewhere) a Dos Equis XX/Barracuda team t-shirt autographed by Jimmy Kight, Jurgen Beneke, and Eric Carter. I got waaayyyy back when there was a Norba national in Traverse City, Michigan. I was about 14 and attending this event was probably the coolest thing ever up to that point.
