Dream Sponsors

This post is inspired by the hottie red bull girls that dropped by the old PRW on Wednesday. How they have not figured out that our shop has nothing to do with downhill mountain biking, I will never understand. But I love them for it cause they bring me free red bull and compliment us on the shop.

Thanks Ladies

So this post is dedicated to the hotties! It is about my dream sponsors. The companies whom I would take onto team Loshack without a moments hesitation. Here it is for your viewing entertainment:

The Super Amazing Loshack Dream Sponsor List

1) RED BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your company, your style and your swager. I think that this is one company that actually raises your personal cool points for being associated with them. I don't even care about the cash that you give to your athletes to allow them to accomplish the craziest goals, like free falling from space or giving up road cycling to be a full time kick ass cyclo-cross guy Just give me a hat and some free cans and I will be a happy man. Actually if you throw in a red bull girl that would be great too!

2) Oakley
I am a slave, I know, I recognize it and I am completely ok with it. Oakley is the shit, the best glasses out there. I have 3 pairs, all paid for with my shop discount, and they are awesome. I would love to rep it like Gorgeous George

3) Focus Bikes
I have the Izalco with full dura-ace and it friggin kills. Best bike I have ever ridden, and they are a cool company started by cyclists with an eye towards workmanship and efficient engineering. As a mechanic I love to work on Focus Bikes because they are so well thought out and designed, unlike some bikes out there ("cough" Cervelo "cough"). They are a joy to work on and this company is clearly all about the sport. Plus they have cool commuter bikes too I would take their bikes over Specialized or any other brand or any other brands cash!

4) Mavic
I love this crazy French company. There are so many wheel manufacturers, but I love Mavic. They have bomb proof wheels that you don't have to worry about on our rough roads. Plus their engineering is cutting edge and well, just cool. If you don't believe me then come to the shop and see the new R-sys wheels on Guri's fair weather riding rigg.

5) Adidas
I used to be a Nike fan, but Adidas hooked me on their Adizero flats and I am loyal now. Adidas running shoes fit me the best, plus they are more involved with triathlon and well Impossible is nothing for Adidas.

6) Lazer for Helmets. Enough said.

7) Patagonia
Half the stuff I own these days is from Patagonia. I dig their environmental work, Yvon Chouinard was one of the co-founders of 1% for the planet. And their clothing is amazing. Period. They took on the Malloy Bro's and created a surfing line, maybe they would take on me to do some run and tri stuff for them. A bearded man can only dream right?

8) Safeway
This one is from my mother, and it really does make sense. Pleas sponsor me Safeway, If you do I might not ever have to eat pancakes for dinner again!

9) Air Canada
Free flights, and my bike flies for free and never gets lost. Am I just dreaming?

10) Fairmont Hotel Group
Hotels all over the world and they let me sleep on a cot in the basement of all of them. Hows that for a sponsorship deal Fairmont? I promise I will make myself scarce and clean up any mess I make.

So that's it, my dream list of sponsors.

Thanks for reading

Kris
