As our first official club profile, it seemed fitting to choose our 2006 Club of the Year winner, AcrophobiA. Besides having one of the coolest minitruck club names, these guys have a million other things going for them. Since minitruck clubs are a huge part of our scene, we've finally got all of our ducks in a row. (We've been trying to do this for years!) So we decided to go behind the scenes to bring you club profiles from around the world. So here's a down-and-dirty look at our first club profile: AcrophobiA. And for the last time, no, it's not a fear of spiders!

The above mentioned requirements are set for the vehicles. However, personality and attitude are the most important factors. Once introduced to everyone, feel free to mingle and to get acquainted with everyone. We are here for the same thing, which is the love of customizing our vehicles. The voting will be done solely by the chapter rep from your area. They may ask for help from their existing logo'd members. This is where getting to know all of the members in your area is an advantage.
After the chapter rep has voted you in, it will be passed onto the board members for a vote, which consists of a rep from each state. Again, majority wins. All of these rules may be amended, based on a case-by-case basis. Still, we keep it as close to these standards as possible. We have to do this because of the size of AcrophobiA and to keep the quality of rides up to par. No matter what you are tagged with, whether it's a member logo or a prospect logo, we are all considered part of the AcrophobiA family!
