[4] After racing for Yeti Cycles in 1993 and his victory at the Reebook Eliminator in Mammoth Lakes and the 3rd place in the UCI Downhill World Championships, Rockwell joined the newly formed Volvo Cannondale Mountain Bike Racing Team in 1994 together with the downhill riders Missy Giove and Franck Roman.

Rockwell played a vital role in the development and testing of mountain bikes and components.

In the 1994 season, Rockwell used a Cannondale Super V full suspension bike with its original high-pivot design and approximately 75 mm of travel on the rear wheel, and either a prototype Cannondale Headshok or a Rock Shox suspension fork.

Rockwell was part of the development of the Cannondale Super V DHF / Fulcrum, a team-only downhill mountain bike with a virtual-pivot point and three chains for optimized pedaling efficiency and an adjustable head tube angle.

In 2019, the couple created The Rockwell Ridewell Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization for youth development.
