Couldn’t think of a better mentor. Great news!

I'm glad that Benno ended up somewhere cool as well 🙌

Did Luke come right with support for his European tour and is he a member here on bikehub?

[ajnkzn]

I note that he’s got Decofurn (owners of The Hub clothing stores - ironic and awesome) and Ciovita branding on his kit - is that just for the first few races?

 

Well done to those companies regardless of amount / duration of support. 
 

Those whips over the jumps while he led the race were 🔥

He's so talented, I remember last year or year before he was there cruising at W2W with Tyler, on the one stage we ended up riding together, there wasn't 1km were he wasn't throwing a whip or a manual or something cool to watch. Very entertaining. And not only he can do all that stuff, but he can do it while being fast !

Ciovita are sponsoring his kit for 2025, so I believe the branding will remain unless he gets signed by a team in the transfer window.

basis the way the sponsorship proposal was structured Decofurn would have chipped in a good amount, but there’s no conflict with Ciovita despite the ownership of The Hub clothing. Everyone of the sponsors knows the situation and is even comfortable with if a branding conflict should arise but that is considered 

 

[ajnkzn]

Ciovita and The Hub are completely different of course.

great performance - this will get some eyeballs.

I sent them a note saying that there's quite a lot to the backstory. They updated it very quickly -  of the links they used a fair bit of the Tread mtb story and included the crowdfunding etc.

 

Corporate sponsors can reach out to Ciska at ciskaaustin@gmail.com.

This is what happens when passion meets perseverance. When an athlete keeps chasing the dream, even when it seems out of reach. When a young South African refuses to give up and finally gets his moment.

Luke, we see you. We’re proud of you. And we’re cheering for everything that comes next.

good work goodthingsguy

Thanks for doing that. Its the kind of viral marketing he needs to get some bites from sponsors. The corporate aspect has been incredibly hard. Many take a look but nothing concrete because its not a team sponsorship, not furthering woman's rights agenda's. Hopefully there are business owners out there who can see the bigger picture.
