Rortise Says: Around the 28th of December 2002 Trampjuice was brought kicking and screaming into the world.Graham over at Superlager provided us with some help and guidance and the first review ever offered was that of Co-op super. More reviews and content were quickly added and by March of 2003 we had reviews of all the main protaganists (White Lightning, Spesh, Super T) and a few surprise contenders (Tourny Bitter, Rocheforte 10) and these reviews survive to this day in their original format. At this point only Rortise and Spooner worked on the site but all was to change. 

The next few months brought reviews of Breaker, Asda Super, Stryke, Frosty Jacks and Stryke Super. This was part of the golden era of Trampjuice and we started getting more hits, almost hitting 10 thousand for the first time in the month of April. More importantly the Trampjuice team expanded to include Joescully, Oat Fed Goat and Marakon, who remain with us to this day. By June of 2003 we were recieving a massive 39 thousand hits a month, with one visitor proving to be very valuable indeed. 

This visitor proved to be Mr Goatse who, after winning our writing competition, became a valuable member of the team. His review of Ice Dragon still remains the most popular review on this site. By the end of 2003 we had many more reviews and more people had joined the team. Our forum was more functionable than fashionable but it worked (sometimes!) This period saw Fosco, Snyx and Papa Piaggio join the Trampjuice team. They also remain with us to this day. 

June 20th 2003 was the day that Trampjuice changed from its old design to its new one which it still wears proudly. Around this time we also got a forum off some nice guys over at drunkit. Unfortunately this died in early 2004 but Neo_Ad of Brokenoath came to our rescue and supplied us with our current forum. 

Early 2004 saw Tink, Maverick and The Zoo become contributors to Trampjuice and the biggest super of ever - Amsterdam Maximator be reviewed. The site continues to be updated and the landmark Trampjuice Awards are penciled in for this August. We now achieve over 80 thousand hits a month, a far cry from our first month with our solitary review which netted us under 100 hits. See you at the Trampjuice Awards. 

Note: This is a BRIEF history and as such many things, such as media appearances, the writing competition and the logo competition have been left out.
