New Australian team with a NASCAR connection is gearing up for MiniMotoSX

New Braaap USA bikes have performance and star riders!

Irvine, Calif (Feb. 11, 2011) –
Michael Blose, the two time defending 12-inch expert class champion
will debut the new Braaap USA superlite motorcycle at the 2011 GEICO
AMA MiniMotoSX, presented by Monster Energy. This new motorcycle comes
from Australia, where the brand has already established a great
reputation. So now, Braaap will tackle the US market with a huge effort
consisting of a first class team of top riders, distribution and
officially joining the MiniMotoSX as a presenting sponsor.

Jarryd
McNeill, the Australian freestyle sensation that earned a Silver medal
at the 2010 X Games will join Blose on a Braaap superlite along with
four more riders that are being recruited now. Brad Smith, the founder
of Braaap and a former Australian Mini Supercross Champion will also be
competing in Vegas. The team will have the backing and logistical
support of Marcos Ambrose, the driver of the #9 Stanley backed Richard
Petty motorsports NASCAR Sprint Cup team. Ambrose is a mini bike
enthusiast himself and rides a Braaap both for fun and cross-training
when he’s not tackling the Sprint Cup circuit.

“It
is very exciting to have a new brand of bike entering the US mini bike
market, especially since Braaap has a proven formula and great backing
from Marcos Ambrose, who obviously knows how to go racing” stated Lance
Bryson, Director of Sales and Marketing at Source Interlink.  Bryson
continued by saying that “Braaap is going to bring a new level of
excitement to the GEICO AMA MiniMotoSX as they challenge some of the
established teams and that will help everybody step up their game.”

Make
your plans now to head out to Vegas for Monster Energy AMA Supercross
weekend a little early so you can catch the Friday night show.  You can
