Cam Zink finalizes ride Zink signs with Haro, SRAM brands,
|
November 8, 2005 - 19 year old Nevada native, Cameron Zink, will be putting together his own freeride and race program in 2006 which will see the talented mountain bike star attending all of the major freeride events around the world, as well as selected race events on the World Cup and NORBA calendars. The recently announced signing of a major deal with Haro Bikes, who’ve come on board to not only supply their quality frames, but also to assist Cam with his travel and on-road costs, is a major boost to the teenager’s career.
“For me Haro is one of the coolest brands out there, and their presence in BMX has been immense over recent history, especially while I was growing up, and to be part of that in my own way, is really incredible. I’m looking forward to living up to Haro’s expectations of me over the next two years and beyond,” said Cameron today as he prepares to finalize the other sponsors on his roster. |

Cameron has recently re-signed his management deal with 23 Degrees Sports Management based in Spain, a company that will not only provide assistance in setting up Cam’s tour for the coming year, but also support and advice in the area of media and the overall management of what is fast becoming referred to in house as “CamZink Inc”.
Martin Whiteley of 23 Degrees says: “Cam is a highly creative rider both on and off the bike. He’s come to us with some great ideas, which we really want to help him develop further. Having the freedom of doing this with his own program has given him a new lease of energy and that can only mean great things for himself and his sponsors.”
Joining Haro will be the SRAM Corporation who sees Cameron as an important figurehead for their product line. SRAM will be providing Cameron with Avid Brakes, RockShox Suspension, SRAM drive train and Truvativ products.
Cam will be decked out in Oakley kit and eyewear, a returning sponsor from his 2005 season. Says Steve Blick of Oakley Sports Marketing: “We are 100% behind Cam and want to continue to grow with him through his career. We are all about building our relationships towards a bigger and brighter future and we want to work with him for many years to come.”
Other sponsors will be confirming their relationship with Cameron in the coming weeks as he prepares for his first major video shoot in Australia in January, and then his first major event, the Sea Otter Classic in early April.
