Matt Sparks on SNAFU
This news just came through from the guys at SNAFU. Congrats, Sparks!
Temecula, CA – SNAFU BMX signs Matt Sparks to the SNAFU PRO TEAM for 2007. Matt is an amazing rider who pushes the envelope when it comes to going big and innovation in the sport of BMX. Who he is and how he rides is the kind of person we are excited to have on the team.
For a long time I've been wondering if I'll ever make it onto a companies true “pro team” and I'm excited that it can be SNAFU. With a team like theirs, and the set goal of the company, I Trust that I made a good move for myself and a good move for my future. I want to travel a lot this year, see old friends, and meet many new ones. SNAFU wanted to help me achieve that. This year has given me a lot of injury and for a company to still want to help me out, I feel I'm very fortunate for, and very grateful. For everyone else that has helped me in the past, Thank you. For all the people that continue to help, Thank you again. -Matt Sparks
I think I met Matt back in the day at a CFB Contest, little did I know then he would take his love for BMX and evolve it into the amazing rider he is today. Every time I log onto the Team Young page and look at the stuff they are doing and the good times they are having on and off their bikes it makes me remember why we all got into this in the beginning. Matt for sure pushes it when he is on his bike and is a down to earth person off. I can’t think of a better addition to the team.

THE SNAFU BMX MANIFESTO:
A manifesto is a written set of rules and opinions that everyone who believes in a thing or an idea can look to for guidance and inspiration. Words to live by, you could say. At SNAFU, we have lived by the following manifesto since we started the brand in 1999:
The best bike riders are progressive, freethinking and open-minded
The best bike parts are reliable, strong, light and affordable
Competition improves many things, but it doesn’t define them
Old and reliable is better than new and unproven
Servicing things that work is better than replacing things that break
Excellence requires skill
Skill requires knowledge
Knowledge requires respect
Respect excellence
