Fox and the MCF are suited and 'booted'
By TMX Archives on 3rd Apr 09
Proving that the MC Federation's Red Bull Elite Youth Cup is the place for young aspiring motocrossers, the MCF have penned a deal with Fox Racing Europe for a great new concept to support young riders. The Fox Boot camp is an exciting programme that will help the kids who otherwise wouldn't get an opportunity, to get some help and pick up a Fox supported ride as one of their sponsored athletes. At each round of the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup the MCF panel of judgeswill select three riders that they feel warrant a little bit of helpand do not have a current clothing sponsor. They'll choose one riderfrom 65 to 85cc and one from 125 to 250cc, and then one ‘wild' cardrider. Probably a young whipper-snapper who deserves a shot because ofextra effort, they have a positive attitude, they've shown goodsportsmanship or they're just an all round nice kid! So Elite Youth Cupriders remember you're being watched!
The three chosen riders will be announced at the end of the day and fortheir efforts they'll be rewarded with an exclusive ‘Fox Boot Camp Proplate' and then given a Fox clothing deal for the next race. When theyshow up at the following race they'll be presented with a fully printedkit with their name, number, Red Bull Elite Youth Cup and Fox Boot camplogos. Their picture will then appear on the Elite Youth Cup and FoxEurope websites and all corresponding media.
With eight rounds of the Red Bull Elite Youth Cup that then makes 24riders who'll be selected for the ‘Fox Boot' camp. Those riders willthen get invited to an exclusive track day with a handful of top proswhere a selection panel of MCF, Fox Racing Europe staff and pro riderswill choose two riders to become fully supported Fox athletes in 2010.Think of it like the X-Factor only much more creditable and without aman with a dated haircut putting you down!
