nsmb is pleased to announce this major signing of a recognizable face |
nsmb team manager Cam McRae commented, “We had the opportunity to meet BikerFox at Interbike a couple of years ago. He’s quite the character. In Vegas last year, Pete Roggeman [nsmb's marketing manager] and I hooked up with Foxy again and got to spend an evening getting to know him better. We saw the synergies between Foxy and the rest of the Team - especially Jay Sinclair - and thought he would be an awesome addition to the crew.”
Frank Paul has been riding bikes since he was five and has a number of long-term sponsors. Signing with the nsmb.com team will give him additional sponsorship from Adidas, Dakine, Denny’s Restaurants, Fox Racing Shox, Maguara Brakes, SRAM, Syncros, Wrench Force Tools and Whistler Bike Park.
Trevor Hansen, the Team nsmb.com captain, was also excited about the new addition. "The whole team is stoked to have BikerFox on board. We’re all looking forward to taking him for a ride. Those front-flip skills will come in handy on trails like Jerry-Rig and even Boogeyman," he said.
BikerFox is also looking forward to the opportunities he'll have to introduce his unique talents to the Shore. "I can’t wait to get into an nsmb jersey," said Fox. "At first I was a bit skeptical, because I heard how these freeriders are so hard-core but when I was recently in Vancouver I got to ride some of the trails on Seymour Mountain and around UBC and had a super ride." He added, "My media-savy skills are mad and I’m sure I’ll be able to help give nsmb exposure in new markets, especially south of the border.” BikerFox is moving to B.C. in time to race the first North Shore Ripper at the end of April, and then he’ll be living in Whistler for the season. Be sure to look for him at the Ripper events and in the lift lines at the Whistler Bike Park. Stay tuned for more details on how this signing will affect the team spot usually reserved for the AIRprentice contest winner. Video details of the signing...
