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 helps with Monster Energy Supercross Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Strider PREbikes had a great opportunity to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Research. The recent Anaheim 3 Monster Energy Supercross race in California was awash in PINK as industry folks helped to generate money for this worthy cause.

The fundraising effort was spearheaded by Shasta Johnson (the wife of a high school buddy of mine). She has experienced this terrible disease like few others… she lost her 29 years old sister to it and was also diagnosed herself. She battled and won… a cancer survivor! She now devotes significant effort to education and fund-raising. Visit her website at www.teamshasta.org. Here are photos from the Pit Party outside the arena… notice the Pink Strider PREbikes hanging from the tents. Visit Ebay and bid to win one of these special bikes autographed by Supercross Champion, Chad Reed … all funds go toward the cause.

 PS… stay and cheer for Bode McFarland (the original Strider rider), now racing in the PeeWee 4-6 class.  He’s riding the #85 KTM… and currently the points leader!

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.
