BikeBiz Bicycle and cycling retail news
Stunts and tricks rider Jez Avery is seeking two bikes for riding at 30-40 public shows this coming year. Jez specialises in wheelies without the front wheel and ramp-to-ramp jumping.
He needs a small framed MTB for his tricks riding and says most £500 bikes can stand up to the punishment he metes out to them. For his ramp jumping he needs a full suspension retailing for about a grand.
Avery can send a videotape of himself in action and has a website listing his tour dates, www.jezavery.cyclists.co.uk.
Most of his stunt shows are at non-cycling events. The £10k sponsorship deal with TraxData, the MP3 company, came about when Avery jumped over one of TraxDatas Smart cars at an event at Earls Court. TraxData also sponsor a horse racing team, a yachting squad and a touring car team.
