Pro-Action Suspension was founded by George back in 1977 under the name Keystone Motocross Works. Over the years technology and Pro-Action have continued to grow together, while Quay had also studied all available forms of motorcycle suspension systems. Quay has taken the best from each system he studied and established a technique of shock and fork valving that is incomparable. 

George has designed and constructed suspension systems for many privateer teams, and worked as a race team manager, while he also wrote a monthly column on suspension for Motocross Action Magazine. He also worked as a mechanic for some top privateers and worked as a factory mechanic on the World GP Motocross tour.
