Own a Leatt brace worn by Team USA’s Ryan Dungey, Trey Canard or Andrew Short in the 2010 Motocross of Nations victory.
Medford, OR (Oct 22, 2010) - Motocross is a sport rich with
history, and now is the perfect chance to own a piece with the Leatt
Charity Auction to benefit the RiderDown Foundation. Leatt prepared
three custom neck braces to protect Team USA at the Motocross of
Nations where Ryan Dungey, Trey Canard and Andrew Short defended our
national pride with a victory in Lakewood, Colorado. These three neck
braces, still dirty from battle and drenched in glory, are autographed
by each rider and available for purchase through the Leatt Charity
Auction hosted on MotorcycleUSA.com.
As five-time defending champions, Team USA had the honor of
sporting the top three numbers, Ryan Dungey #1, Trey Canard #2 and
Andrew Short #3. All three men put on a true demonstration of the
American spirit with hard work and determination to bring home the
Chamberlain Trophy for a sixth consecutive time. The race is won, but
now you have the opportunity to participate in another American
tradition by supporting our fallen comrades. Proceeds from the auction
go directly to RiderDown.org, the leader in assistance for riders and families dealing with medical expenses.
“Leatt is very happy to be supporting the RiderDown Foundation,”
says Leatt Brand Manager, Jason McCune. “Injuries are a reality of this
sport and we have to recognize the need to help those who have been
hurt. Riderdown.org
makes this a reality for many people and their families who need
assistance with medical bills and other related issues. Not only can
you own the brace that our MXoN champions participated in, but you can
also help make a difference in the lives of many people.”
Safety is a top concern for all motorcyclists and Leatt is on the
forefront of neck brace development. It’s no wonder Team USA relies on
them to stay healthy. Leatt created one-off custom graphics for the
MXoN, featuring “2010 Team USA Motocross of Nations” with personalized
names, numbers and the Stars and Stripes.
“I’m very excited that we can partner with Leatt for this wonderful
auction,” says RiderDown Foundation’s Bruce Vermeulen. “Motocross of
Nations is the pinnacle of our sport, and I’m ecstatic that memorabilia
from Team USA is supporting our cause. Winning in such dramatic fashion
on our home soil makes this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the
riders are extremely generous to let us have these priceless items. I
just can’t believe it.”
The auction begins Oct. 22 and closes Nov. 1, so visit the Leatt Charity Auction on MotorcycleUSA.com for a chance to bid on each brace.
