3 JoJo on a Mission

Has anyone seen my hands?

 

Even though it was a cold winter day in Germany, JoJo took the opportunity to go for a spin on the bridge and deliver the Strider Lock to the right location.  The lock was attached amongst thousands of others, and in cerimonous fashion, the Euro Strider Team threw the key into the Rhine as a symbol of Strider’s commitment to the toddlers of Europe.

8 Can You Find the Strider Lock

Can you find Strider's lock?

 

If you’re in Cologne and think of it, go for a walk on the Hohenzollen Bridge and look for the Strider Lock in the sea of Love Locks.  Maybe add a lock of your own, and make sure you bring your Strider – there are tons of great spots to ride around the city and along the Rhine.

The first is Emily from the United Kingdom. She got her Strider last Summer and started gettingher sense of balance, but mostly walked with her bum (I think that's what they call it in the U.K.) off the seat. This summer she will be outfitted with her new helmet and there'll be no stopping her!

Our next international Strider rider is the ever-cool, Johnny Rock. He hails from Sydney, Australia, sports an awesome Nutcase helmet, and some really cool low-top Chuck Taylors!

Keep the photos and videos coming!  We love seeing local, nation, and international Strider riders.

Apparently in Brazil they celebrate Christmas on December 24th, something to do with the Southern Hemisphere I’m sure.  JoJo was able to get some face time with the big guy ,Papai Noel, as they call him in Rio then take in some tropical ride time around the city.

Merry Christmas from Team Strider and JoJo!

Papai Noel gets the thumbs up from JoJo.

Strider riding, travelling the world and being awesome makes JoJo one of the busiest 3 year old we’ve ever known!  Last time we peaked into the jet-setters world he was in Rio riding his Strider and turning heads.  He’s still turning heads, but now he’s getting attention from the Italians and their pigeons.

JoJo also had a chance to get together with Adrian from “Team Strider: Slovakia”

One of the favorite photos from EICMA 2010 was the look on this boy’s face.  JoJo swapped a Strider for his less maneuverable 4 wheeled scooter…he instantly got an “I get it” look!

Watch for more of JoJo tomorrow and have a safe and fun holiday season!

Their son JoJo has become an instant rock star as they trot the globe and spread Strider fun to toddlers the world over.

John, JoJo and Nanda...Putting the International in Strider Sports International!

In the weeks and months to come we will be following JoJo and his meteoric rise in international Strider riding fame!

This week finds him enjoying some sun in the Southern Hemisphere.  Watch the Youtube video below of JoJo in Rio de Janeiro…half the fun is watching the reactions of people who have never seen a Strider before.

MURRIETA, CA (October 20, 2010) — KTM North America, Inc. and Strider Sports International are excited to announce a licensing agreement for the introduction of the KTM Strider PREbike™.  The KTM Strider PREbike™ is a revolutionary pedal-free bike that enables toddlers as young as 18 months to learn how to ride and balance on two wheels… years earlier than if they used the conventional tricycle or training wheel method.  Most important, Strider™ teaches the skills needed to safely and easily transition to riding both a pedal bike and a Sportminicycle, making the first experience on each much more successful and positive.

Unload_101021_2073

Question of the day: How many Striders fit in a 40 foot long semi-trailer?  I could tell you, but that wouldn’t be nearly as fun.  Go to our facebook page and post your guess (one guess per fan).  The closest guess – by Thursday (10/28) at noon (mountain standard time) – without going over will get an official “Team Strider t-shirt for their toddler and a Team Strider water bottle!”

Good luck and happy (early is better than late) holidays!
