Fox Racing and Diablo Freeride Park announce Strategic Partnership

Fox Racing Inc. is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Diablo Freeride Park as the exclusive sponsor for protective apparel for the 2005 season. For the 2005 season, Fox Racing will provide Diablo instructors and trail crew with protective apparel, including our revolutionary Launch leg pad, featuring our patent pending X-Up strapping system.Entering its 3rd year of operation, Diablo Freeride Park has set the standard for mountain bike parks on the east coast. This unique mountain bike playground is gaining international attention with its world-class terrain, convenient location (only 45 minutes from New York City), and innovative events such as the US Open of Mountain Biking- making it the most visited MTB terrain park on the East Coast.

“Partnering with Diablo makes a lot of sense”, said Fox Racing Inc. product manager, Chris Gagan. “Not only is Diablo the heart of the east coast Freeride/DH scene- but it’s also where our top MTB athletes Jeff Lenosky and Aaron Chase call home when they’re not out representing Fox at bike events world wide.”

“We wanted to get our trail crew outfitted in the best gear possible- and that’s why Fox was our first choice”, added Diablo’s GM Shawn Orecchio.

In addition to outfitting the trail crew, Fox will also be the exclusive protective gear supplier for the Diablo Bike Shop. Riders will be able to purchase Fox Racing protective gear, including helmets, upper body suits, elbow guards, and leg guards, to be used in conjunction with Diablo’s bike rental program.

Diablo Bike Park opens for the season on May 14th. For more information visit www.diablofreeridepark.com.
