FMX Icon Thomas Pages Signs With UNIT!

In
one of the biggest announcements of 2011 for Unit, the rapidly
expanding clothing company has announced a multi-year deal with one
of the world’s most innovative and exciting freestyle motocross
riders, Thomas Pagès.

Pagès,
26, was among the first riders in the world to land the Front-flip,
has attempted tricks like the Decade Air at X Games, and has mastered
the 75ft Volt body varial.

The
Frenchman used the Volt to good effect last month when he unseated
Spain’s Dany Torres at the X-Knights contest in Costa Rica. What
made Pagès’ victory even more amazing was how he beat Torres
without even performing a Backflip combination in his run.

“Few
people would argue that Tom Pagès is one of the most exciting riders
in the world to watch,” says Unit founder Paul Everest.

“He
executes every trick with perfection, his Turndown Whips have to be
the best in the world, and his creative ability to think outside the
box and try tricks no-one else has even considered makes him a
perfect fit for the Unit brand.”

Pagès
will hold a pivotal role in future Unit projects as the company turns
its attention to progressing the sport of freestyle motocross.
