The ‘Relentless’ National BMX Series 2007
News Posted: 1 May 2007
The 2007 National BMX series will get a new look this year. As well as sponsoring half pipe and street BMXers Shaun Eglington and Mark Webb, Relentless Energy Drink will be putting their name behind Britain’s premier BMX Race Series.
This year’s series kicks off with a 3 day double race event down in Cheddar, Somerset during bank holiday weekend of May 5-7. Cheddar’s one of the country’s best tracks and by far the best facility, so it’s a great location to kick off a new partnership with Relentless. By the time the next double race weekend hits Bournemouth during May 26-28, the Relentless profile will be in full force.
George Roth, front man for Relentless commented, “BMX racing is hardcore and gritty and the perfect arena for Relentless. This is one of the sports that inspired the brand and this is where we can add tangible value on the track with our energy offer. Through our support of the National Series we hope to reinforce our brand positioning but most importantly we aim to help support the UK scene and assist in the development of the sport in the UK going forward.” Link: www.relentlessenergy.com
Also coming on board this year are BMX retailers “The Source”. The Source is a rider owned and run company based in Hastings, East Sussex. The Source are also an online business, so can support orders from anywhere in the UK. www.sourcebmx.com – The Source will be giving away 5 Intense race bikes and 2 carbon THE helmets during the course of the 7 round series.
