After being offered a grass roots sponsorship from a bike shop in ulladulla i thought i would mention the offer to my local bike shop up here. They said they could match it and i thought this would be easier being close to home. At the same time my mates girlfriend charli had mentioned this to her boss who is a bike parts whole saler on the central coast. He asked to see some results and said he would c what he could do. Wow from nothing to 3 offers in 1 week! I get a phone call at work and he is very impresed with my results seeing as i have only been riding seriously for less than a year. We talked about the conditions and it all sounded awesome. The big turning point was that he wanted to start a team. So after a long meeting and sorting out all the fine details i signed the contract!!
Im now sponsored by SCV imports in tuggerah who deal with Light & Motion, Turner bikes, FSA, IXS protective gear and marzocchi suspension. Big thanks to Stu and the team for giving me a chance and the opportunity of a lifetime.
If all this wasnt the best news ever the next week i hear news that TORQ nutrition and Continental tyres have jumped in to sponsor the team as well!! Awesome news as TORQ has a testing facility and access to a coach and nutritionalist.
Cant wait to get my new bike with all the best gear on it and start rippin it up and gettin some good results and doin the team and Stu proud. Im all in now, theres no lookin back and the possibilities are endless. National title, Worlds champs, Olympics....... who knows :)
