ARF is off to a running start for 2009! We got to spend New Year's Eve with the "Godfather of Freestyle Motocross", Mike Metzger. Mike has been busy working on his clothing brand Metzger Unlimited (www.metzgerunlimited.com) and the clothes are looking great. Metzger threw a huge party at his house with tons of the top FMX and BMX riders live bands. By my estimate they had over 400 people there! Metzger and his crew even donated a portion of the proceeds straight to ARF!
 There was recently a serious injury to a professional Supercross rider Jiri Dostal. I know Jiri a little because nine years ago when I was a team manager and we toured Supercross pits and Jiri was getting his career started and he actually enjoyed riding BMX. The bigger story here is that just like Mike Aitken, Jiri was told that he could not be insured. This press release was posted last week: "The Action Sports Advisory Group ("ASAG") is a group of insurance professionals that was formed to assist action sports athletes with acquiring and understanding insurance policies. Jeff Suarez and Amanda Savage the founders of the ASAG have 6 years of insurance industry experience. With the most recent injuries to uninsured athletes, the ASAG is sending out an immediate press release to encourage all MX, FMX, BMX, Skate, Snowboard, Surfing, Snowmobile athletes to contact them in regards to getting health and disability insurance. Affordable insurance is available to all athletes no matter what you have heard in the past. ASAG has helped their most recent FMX athlete, Robbie Maddison, get health and disability insurance at an affordable rate. Robbie was previously told he could not be insured. The expertise of the professionals at ASAG helped Robbie through the entire process and he is now covered. The ASAG is working together with the Athlete Recovery Fund ("ARF") and the Road 2 Recovery to encourage and educate athletes to properly insure themselves. As more injuries occur to athletes without coverage, these relief funds will become strained as cash levels are depleted. As an on going effort to help support the action sports community, the ASAG will make annual donations to these relief funds. To ensure there will be assets available to assist with further relief, the ARF encourages all athletes to contact the ASAG. The ASAG will answer any and all insurance questions or concerns. Contact the ASAG today." Action Sports Advisory Group 631-266-2200 805-814-0055 info@actionsports-ag.com If you have questions give these people a call. They are passionate about helping. More to come soon! The first bike company to support ARF just signed up! |
