Here's the official press release from Haro about Cory Nastazio being added to their team for 2009:Haro is pleased to announce the signing on Cory Nastazio to the Haro Bikes team for the 2009 season.
Cory, arguably one of the sports most iconic riders, had a successful year in
2008, and plans to take that same focus into the 2009 contest season.
“I' re-dedicated myself to riding and contests last year and my results
improved but not to the level that I set for myself. In 2009, my goal
is to reach the top spot more than once…and with Haro’s support I have
no doubt I’ll make it happen”.
In what some would consider a wild and unexpected move, Haro offered
Nastazio an opportunity to combine his unique blend of passion,
personality, and riding style with its already diverse group of quality
riders including Dennis Enarson, Colin Mackay, Ben Hucke, Mike Ishizuka
and Ryan Nyquist.
"Cory brings a flavor to the team and brand that Haro embraces. His style
and personality is very popular on the contest tour and we feel Haro
will benefit from this. He also brings a lot to the table by way of
bike knowledge. He knows what works and we will without a doubt use
that knowledge and experience to our advantage”.
"Cory Nastazio turned pro in 1999 making a name for himself quickly as one of Dirt Jumping’s most popular riders. With plenty of wins and media coverage since then, Cory remains a popular figure in BMX and that popularity is expected to continue in the years to come.
Look for Cory on the 2009 Dew Tour and www.Harobikes.com.
