Kenny And Brooks Bartram: Like Father, Like Son

Monday, December 5th, 2011

At the age of seven “Cowboy” Kenny Bartram (#690) started his career in motorcycles.  After turning professional at the age of fifteen his destiny was clear.  Since that fateful day he has become the winning-est freestyle (10 X-game medals) motocross rider in the world!

Kenny was inspired by his uncle…we have a feeling that his son, Brooks Bartram, will have all the inspiration he’ll ever need! For his 4th birthday his Dad bought him a KTM STRIDER to match his own KTM Motocross bike.

"Cowpoke" Brooks Bartram showing his Dad how it is supposed to be done!

After a little experimentation Brooks is already hitting ramps, albeit a bit smaller than the ones his Dad is jumping off of:

Reminiscing and Dreaming of Warm Weather

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

When we woke up this morning and peeked out the window what do you think we saw?  It is snowing again in Striderville!  Yeah, we know…It is only the middle of April and it snows every year at this time, but it is hard to go from 70 degrees to snow in the same week!

Thinking about warmer weather got us thinking about a stop we made in Denver at the Motocross of Nations on the way back from Interbike last year.  Todd and Kent were representing Sales, Charlie was on hand for some R&D and Ryan (Strider Founder and Chief Enthusiast) wanted to stop because he is a hardcore motocross/racing fan.

 

Lets get some RedBull in these fellows...they look tired.

Thanks for indulging our walk down memory lane.

Strider in MiniRider Magazine!

Friday, April 8th, 2011

The KTM Strider is making a splash in the motocross world and was recently featured in MiniRider Magazine’s “Gear Bag” section!  Strider is going to revolutionize bicycling as well as motorcycling for toddlers.

Our favorite quote from the Minirider Blurb…When you’re an old man and have no teeth (again) you can say, “I’m so old my first KTM had no motor, and to make it go you had to push it!”

Get out there and have fun no matter what your two-wheeled mode of fun is, and don’t forget to include your little two wheeled Striderers!

 

Turn to Page 9 if you're buying the magazine!

Ryan Gets An Early Christmas Present!

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Ryan has been working hard all year.  He has also been behaving this year, if the package that arrived at Strider HQ is any indication of his lack of naughtiness.  Santa knew that he wouldn’t be able to fit the amazing ‘KTM 200 XC-W‘ down the chimney so he just had a delivery truck drop it by.

Ryan has either been very good this year, or he figured Santa might be too busy to notice the new KTM he bought himself right before Christmas.

The best thing about this amazing motorcycle is that it will match the new KTM Striders that have been tearing up the trails and dirt parks all over the globe!

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

KTM Strider PREbikes have just hit the U.S. shoreline and are enroute to our distribution center!  The bikes will be up on our webstore and ready for purchase at high noon on Wednesday, November 3rd.  Mark your calendar… these bikes are sure to go fast (pun intended!).

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.

STRIDER PREbikes take to the motocross track!

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Strider Sports was a sponsor for the Black Hills Arena Racing event last Saturday night in Rapid City, SD. Strider riders got to be the pre-race entertainment… and had a ball doing it. Here’s a fun little video of kids playing on the whoops, jumps, and rhythm sections of the indoor motocross track. The next indoor race is January 9th.
