XDL Nashville  – “Motorcyclists Give Back”

Los Angeles, CA (May 6, 2010) — On May 1st and 2nd torrential rains hit Nashville and Middle Tennessee triggering a hundred year flood. We’ve all seen the images on TV and on the web. With a competition scheduled for May 14 & 15 at Nashville Superspeedway, XDL has been thrust in the middle of one of the worst natural disasters to ever hit the area. For those traveling to Nashville that are worried about the impact of the flooding, please rest assured that all XDL activities listed in this release will take place as planned. More importantly, Nashville needs us now and it is time to lend a hand. Even if you are just riding in to enjoy the weekend, you’ll be spending money on lodging, food and entertainment and that helps the local economy. 2010 marks the third year of XDL in Nashville and over that time we have built a lot of relationships in the area and it is home to some of our most avid fans. So it didn’t take us long to figure out that we needed to do our share to help. One thing led to another and in conjunction with our friends at WBUZ/WPRT, Precision Motorsports and Revolution MC we are starting “Motorcyclists Give Back”, an effort to get the motorcycle community nationwide to lend a helping hand in this horrible situation. As part of the XDL event, we will do the following:

1. Donate half the event profits to flood relief
2. Collect bottled water, dry goods, canned food and clothing at all the activities listed in this release
3. Perform probono shows at shelters (times and places TBA)

You can do your share by doing what is needed the most: donating money. It only takes a couple minutes to send $10 so please do it. Lets join together and do our share to help those in need and show that the motorcycle community stands united to help the people of Nashville.

Trying to learn how to freestyle a streetbike? Tired of breaking case covers, plastics and tail sections? Maybe you would like to add some custom heel guards and a matching sprocket. If so, you have checked the right link. Over the past 6 years Sick Innovations has been at the forefront of creating parts to save your baby.

Founded by Ian Weatherford in 2003, Sick Innovations has been Stunt Rider Owned and Operated from the very beginning. Ian began stunt riding and breaking parts quickly, so he decided to design his own custom crash cage to save fairings and case covers. Through the years, first hand crash testing has taught Ian and the Sick Innovations staff how to improve every design flaw possible. With these improvements, the SI cage allows for very minimal roll over damage to the controls and tank. Although these are the most durable cages on the market, the SI crew also kept in mind ergonomics and design their cages with ample leg room and a low profile allowing for low cornering clearance. With these design techniques, this cage makes the bike highly durable, yet very practical and streetable.

Throughout the past few years, Sick Innovations has begun to branch out from the cage business and has started to design new products like extended cage sliders, mutiple preference 12 bars, custom cut steel sprockets, stunt pegs, heel guards and much more…..they have even started to manufacture marine products.

Since the beginning of 2005, Sick Innovations has been backing Borne Freestyle Entertainment with stylish and durable cages, 12 bars, and custom motorcycle accesories. We can not thank them enough for all their support and hard work. Major thanks to Ian and the entire Sick Innovations crew! Without you guys Borne Freestyle would still be mopping up oil and using JB Weld. Thanks a million for keeping the bikes together and clean.

“Being a stunt rider myself, I want to have the best parts available on my bike. That’s why we continue to update our designs and product line. If I find a weak point in any of our products, its addressed immediately!” -Founder Sick Innovations: Ian Weatherford

With that said, Sick Innovations will continue to create and update the strongest and most durable products available to motorcycle enthusiasts around the world…..Guaranteed!!

“Hey Josh, I just wanted to thank you again for taking time to answer a few of my questions about the sport and your bike. I’m truly interested about getting into the sport myself! I bought a couple of DVD’s a few years ago of guys doing the sportbike stunts and it fueled me to try to do wheelies. I’ve watched them so much that I can see what’s being done, but just no idea how to make it work. So with that being said, I hope that whenever you’re in town and you have a moment that you can share some of your extreme knowledge of the sport with a rookie such as myself. THANKS AGAIN FOR BEING A COOL DUDE!” -Dee: Westland, MI
