APRIL 4th, 2012: After a few phone calls and emails between SGC's Andrew Shandro and Lezyne's Marketing Manager, Patrick Ribera-Mckay, the deal was sealed for a 2012 partnership. It was on. SGC, based out of the Whistler Bike Park was founded in 2002 and is the original week long freeride camp. SGC is considered to be one of the most sought after riding camps in the world. Shandro by himself is enough of a statement about the camp and the caliber of people that are involved and the list goes on,…..just check out the coaching roster
SGC COACHES. Lezyne will be providing SGC's coaches staff with Lezyne ABS-equipped hand pumps, CO2 Inflators and cartridges, Lever Kits for Tire Repair, Stainless 20 Multi-Tools, and Alloy Dirt Floor Drives. Lezyne will also be providing each camper with a custom SGC Alloy Drive hand pump. In return, Andrew will be providing a new generation of riders with the necessary skills to grow as a mountain bike riders. They will be taught anything and everything related to DH and freeride at the all-time Whistler Mountain Bike Park. We look forward to see what the future generation of riders hold in store for all of us. Lezyne could not be happier to partner with somebody who is giving so much back to the industry and teaching riders to progress and meet their goals.
With 4x missing from the World Cup this year it’s nice to know that the close fought battles will still continue in the form of 4x Pro Tour. And here in the UK it’s still as strong as ever in not more so. but it’s not just the boys throwing it down either. as you will know we here at the HTN top secret base have a habit of tracking those fast ladies too.
Lezyne is proud to announce its continuing partnership with the Godfather of Freeride, Mr. Wade Simmons. As he continues to grow in his riding and push the boundaries wider and wider, Lezyne is proud to continue working with him and helping keep him rolling by providing him with our Tools, Pumps, Lights, and Organizers. Wade is also a Coach at the Summer Gravity Camps in Whistler, in conjunction with Shadro. In a statement about Wade, Marketing Manager Patrick Ribera-McKay was happy to say "There's not a whole lot more to be said about Wade. He is the original freerider for mountain bikes and we enjoy supporting someone who has done so much for the sport of mountain biking. We couldn't be happier."
