Perry's Prospects Show
We had our first show of the year yesterday for CTV and Perry's Prospects Super Camp. It was at the dome which was handy as it was raining heavily all day! There were 300 kids invited and they would go thru 6 different sports areas to try them out. We were the lunchtime entertainment. Before the show we met the Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan.....Jason happened to mention how nice it was to have all those nice things to ride on downtown.....
There are a few more pics on the picture page too....
It was also a good chance to show our new sponsors what we do. We have hooked up with 2 companies and it looks like we will all benefit from each other. As you can see in the picture the one company is "The Folding Bench" which makes this incredible covered folding chair....perfect for our weather in Vancouver. They have 1-4 seaters and we will have quite a few for draws and giveaways for people to try at the competitions. We had a bunch of them set up at the dome and had many of the other sports people come up to check them out. The BC distributor Thomas and Amy Lee were there with their kids. It was the first time they had ever seen a Biketrials show and they absolutely loved it!
The other company is "Naturally Splendid" which makes natural energy bars and other natural food related products. One of the partners, Brian Carson (along with Craig Goodwin) brought along a professional video camera, so Sean was using it during the show. More info to come and when their website is up I will post it!
With both the companies generous offers we should really be able to take Biketrials to the next level this year. Whistler will be huge.....Thomas Ohler will probably be there as well as a the return of last years Expert winner Jeff Lenosky! If we can get Masashi and John Webster out, as well as last years Elite winner Jeff Anderson and all the other amazing local pros, the Elite Category should be VERY competitive.
