From a press release:
ERIC BOSTROM ONLINE!
Eric Bostrom would like to proudly announce the launch of his new website, www.EricBostrom.com to his fans, sponsors, and to the media. Visitors to his site will notice his new logo, a flash presentation, a bio, a large photo gallery, frequently asked questions, his monthly column from Motorcycle Racer, his Kawasaki crew, his partnerships, downloadable desktop wallpaper images, and a downloadable custom mouse cursor!
This is Eric’s first website and the best way for fans to interact with the likeable racer. “I didn’t know what to think at first, but I’m excited about it. From what I’ve seen it’s fairly interactive and pretty damn cool. It has a lot of interesting stuff about what I’m doing and what my brother and I have been up to, and some cool racing photos.”
From another press release:
ERIC BOSTROM STILL FLYING on REDBULL Wings
Eric Bostrom would like to proudly announce renewed partnerships with his personal sponsors, beginning with the continuation of the wildly popular RedBull sponsorship from his 2001 season. In doing so, Eric has decided to pass on the standard replica-helmet deal that most racers opt for and instead run the RedBull helmet (www.redbull.com).
While the helmet stays, the design of the RedBull lid is slightly changed, with a more pronounced look. The Airtrix-painted helmet will be with Eric as he not only contests the 2002 AMA Superbike Championship, but as he also races against his brother Ben in three World Superbike rounds on his Kawasaki Superbike. MotoGP fans might even see Eric wearing his RedBull helmet in the future, as Eric begins to eye the new Kawasaki 4-stroke motoGP machine. “I’m really happy to have RedBull step it up again. They are such a good crew. After flying all their athletes for a week-long vacation to Puerto Rico last fall, Ben and I both witnessed just how hard they support their athletes, so it’s really nice to be a part of the team. And even though Ben isn’t wearing the helmet this year, it’s nice that we both share RedBull as a sponsor.”
In addition to RedBull, his helmet sponsor will continue to be Arai (www.araiamericas.com). “Arai is the industry leader in helmet safety and definitely a big part of why I’m back with Arai. The RedBull colors will be sitting on top of it, so it’s nice having two of my partners tied together like that.”
In painting the helmet, AIRTRIX (www.airtrix.com) is on board again as Eric’s exclusive designer. Fans will notice the new AIRTRIX-designed ‘Boss Hog’ logo on the back of his helmet and his leathers. “Chris (Wood, of Airtrix) is the best. I’ve been with him since ‘97 and he’s pretty much been responsible for every helmet and leather design I’ve had since. And every year he just continues to step it up.”
Eric also would like to announce a two-year agreement with Alpinestars (www.alpinestars.com), his leathers sponsor for the past several years. “I’m happy to see Alpine’s continued commitment to me because I feel so comfortable in the leathers and it’s real important to have a comfortable and safe set of leathers when you’re out there. And they’re pretty stylish too, which is great. The style tends to fit my personality. And the new leathers are pretty dope because they fit in with the RedBull helmet a little bit better, and my new logo on the back of the leathers will be pretty cool too. I’m happy to join them again and be teammates of sorts with my brother (who is also Alpinestars-sponsored). Ben and I have our own little flair and personality and the Alpinestars gear really conveys that. I’m also going to be wearing a suit just for the 600 Supersport race at Daytona, the only race where I’ll be running the #1 plate.
“The bottom line is this: I feel like everyone I am with is second to none in what they do so it’s a real validation to have such quality sponsors backing me and supporting my program.”
