As many of us have learned over the years, injuries seem to be part of the sport of mountain biking. When you’re a world class freeride athlete, the increase in the size and amplitude of the jumps means the potential for serious injury grows as well.
No one likes to see anyone get hurt, let alone one of the superstars many of us grew up watching. After Paul Basagoitia’s spectacular crash off of one of the biggest step downs in history at the Red Bull Rampage, his life was instantly altered with a severe spinal injury. Fortunately, as many times before the mountain bike community has come to his aide by offering support and through many generous donations. The latest of which comes from a partnership between Scott Sports and the Road 2 Recovery Foundation. Scott is donating 6 awesome frames including 1 of 2 Spark 700 RC Nino Schurter replicas that will soon be given away to lucky winners who helped by donating…
In addition to the Nino Schurter replica (and signed jersey) which was specially made for the 2014 World Championship in Hafjell, Norway, Scott is donating three Gambler 710 frames, one Team Replica Gstaad-Scott Gambler 710 frame, and one Voltage FR frame. Note that with the exception of the medium Spark frame, all others are size large. To be eligible to win simply donate $10 for 1 chance, $20 for 2 chances, or $50 for 6 chances at the raffle. You can pick which frame you would like to try to win, with each frame winner randomly selected on January 4th, 2016 at 12 noon, PST. Head over to Road 2 Recovery to donate.
