XSBA Adds Ferodo Brakes

X-Treme Sport Bike Association Announces Braking News

AURORA, Ill.–Clear Channel Entertainment’s Motor Sports division announces today that in addition to Mirror Image Custom Cycles, Corsa Leathers, Impact Video, Street & Strip Magazine, and A&J Recognition, the XSBA has confirmed FERODO BRAKES participation in the X-Treme Sport Bike Association Freestyle Stunt Competitions for the remainder of the 2002 season and perhaps beyond. And this after the first XSBA contingency sponsor, Corsa Leathers from Washington DC has announced their participation in the XSBA National Freestyle Series only one event prior. Mirror Image will present $3000 in XSBA Championship bonus certificates to the top three stunt competitors in National Championship Points following the final round of competition in Portland September 8. Corsa Leathers will also provide a free top line leather jacket to the top qualifying rider at each XSBA round. The first Corsa jacket went to Dan Jackson in the Elkhart Lake XSBA competition. Ferodo Brakes will award a free set of Ferodo Brake pads to the Top 6 Qualifiers in each remaining round of XSBA competition remaining in 2002, in hopes of an increased contingency program for 2003. “We see the potential of growth with the XSBA series as the top sport bike freestyle organization, and are proud to be involved at the ground floor. With at least half of their time spent on the front wheel, we know the demands put on the front brakes, and we are proud to offer our support to the riders in the XSBA”, said Mike Jones, Ferodo Brand Manager for Tucker Rocky. The contingency will be paid with certificates redeamable with Tucker Rocky.

Valuable points will be earned at each round of competition with one bonus point going to each top qualifier. Pocono will pay DOUBLE POINTS for XSBA, and at the conclusion of the 2002 season, an XSBA National Champion will be crowned. Mirror Image will award an $1800 certificate to the XSBA National Champion, $700 certificate to the runner up, and a $500 certificate to the 3rd place stunt rider in Championship points. The certificates can be redeemed at Mirror Image Custom Cycles for custom painting, wheel polishing, and performance suspension upgrading. You may even see a custom designed Corsa XSBA National Champion Jacket at Portland for the 2002 Champ.

The 2002 XSBA Championship Series wheelies into round 3 at Pocono where it all started back in 2001 at the Pocono Cycle Fest August 22-25. XSBA is in its second year of existence as a motorcycle performance stunt exhibition/competition at selected events including the Formula USA Cycle Fest events.
