Jared on NEMA

Ventura, California (November 12, 2008)� Nema International is proud to announce that Jared Graves has joined the Nema family for the next two years!� Jared joins the Nema in the midst of an exciting evolution of a true mountain bike clothing brand.� With such a dominate force on the racing circuit, Jared is expected to solidify Nema�s presence on the mountain bike race circuit.�
"After seeing the gear they made for the rest of the [Yeti] team for the 2008 season, I knew they meant business, so when the opportunity came about to sign on for 2009 I knew it would be hard to pass up,� said Jared Graves.� �Nema is a good company that is into making the best riding gear,� and isn't just all about the bottom line, which is very hard to come by these days. So with that in mind I jumped at the chance!!!"Jared is respected as one of the world�s foremost gravity racers.� Even taking a majority of the 2008 season off, in order to concentrate on his Olympic dream, Jared still dominated every mountain bike race he entered.� Now that he�s back to racing mountain bikes full time, expect sheer dominance from Jared in 4x as well as being a top contender in downhill.� It�s going to be an exciting season!
�I�ve worked with Jared throughout the years at various brands.� At each of those companies, it was one of my top goals to bring Jared on board.� The same goes for him here at Nema.� He�s one of the few racers in the world that excels at every single discipline - Downhill Champ, 4X Champ, Slalom Champ & BMX Olympian,� stated Dylan Dean (Nema�s marketing & team manager). �Is there any wonder why he attracts so much interest?� He�s the perfect face for our brand!!!�
