I thought he was sponsored by Red Bull?

He was, my post was regarding his recent negotiations with them to continue on, he has decided to part ways...with no ill feelings.

Ah. That would explain why I had to do a little searching to find a pic of him wearing a Red Bull helmet.

I always have been a little curious as to why Gee and Rach are sponsored by them, but not Dan.

On a totally separate note, whether or not people like energy drinks, Red Bull does put a lot of money into our sport. For example, the 12-hour Final Descent series wouldn't happen without them, and it's an awesome race series. I'm a fan.

I must say redbull has deff invested lots of money into our sport,im very curious to see wat will happen with the athertons and redbull

 

[Cabdoctor]

Most of the time Red Bull will only sponsor (Paid) two athletes of the same sport in one country at a time. This info comes from someone high up in Red Bull USA. I am sure Dan got his fair cut from his Bro and Sis.

They sponsor peaty, gee and rach. That's three right there and I think I'm missing one more.

 

[staike]

They don't sponsor Peaty....

 

[dhr-racer]

if they do he's not a few good spokes person for them always drinking monster and running monster stickers

 

[staike]

There ya go.

Peaty Writes » Sponsors

 

[dropmachine]

Kyle Strait and I think Gracia too.

As someone already said, not Peat. maybe the third UK rider you're thinking of is Danny Mac.. he def rides a bike but plays quite a different sport IMO

That's most definitely not the case in skiing or snowboarding.


Robby bourdon, shaums march, brandon semenuck, darren barrecloth steve smith....all canadian......and three of'ems freeridinz an stuff too if you want to get technical about it.

I started thinking about the states and only came up with aaron chase, paul bassogotia and kyle strait.....so I don't know. Maybe there is something to that.

Robbie Bourdon and Kyle Strait are not sponsored by Red Bull anymore.

 

[kidwoo]

Gotta get my resume in.

Maybe he is like Shaun White, who just turned down 1.8 mill from RedBull, because he just didn't want to be sponsored by an energy drink.

Didn't he leave Red Bull because his managment wanted at least 3 millions for White? Red Bull wasn't willing to pay so much so he left the ship. Now he's searching for a new partner. Maybe Coca Cola, who knows?
That's what I read on ESPN I think.

Edit:
The article on ESPN.
http://espn.go.com/action/story/_/id/6819685/shaun-white-ends-sponsorship-red-bull

That contract was valued at more than $1 million annually, and White's team of agents at Creative Artists Agency have reportedly been seeking a beverage deal worth at least three times that.

 

[JayBear]

Shawn white should take some of that cash and buy some mens clothes and a haircut. Dudes got loads of talent but consistently looks like one of the Village People.

 

[Pete..]

Mondraker, yo. Word is bond*.












*Maybe.

 

[6thElement]

Can we have a thread title rename, Athertons to GT not confirmed

 

[BigHitComp04]

Dont they also sponsor Matti as well as Filip Polc? Or are they no longer on Red Bull either?

 

[Verskis]

Matti is Finnish and Filip is Slovakian, what about them and British/Canadian/American Red Bull teams?

 

[epic]

add Jill Kintner to your US Red Bull tally

 

[dublindh]

dan does have something to do with red bull....as far as i remember one of the red bull atherton projects titled him as a brand ambassador....the other two siblings are official red bull athletes but dan has never fallen under this category ie worn the helmet...atherton racing/or formally animal commencal would regard red bull as one of their larger business partners and they employ some of the best doctors/sports scientists for their athletes to use...

Four Loko needs to come back, and that company and Sparks need to start sponsoring bikers. at least bmx riders.

 

[IH8Rice]

Four Loko needs to come back

theyre still in the market, albeit less awesome

 

[4130biker]

I miss sparks (with caffeine) terribly.




Best times I ever had with an orange mouth.

when I lived in pittsburgh, we would celebrate Sparkstoberfest (the original stuff again)

 

[staike]

Looked a bit like Gee Atherton at first glance.

Here's the 2012 Fury though, looks nice IMO. A little bit different than other bikes, but it still looks rather good.

that bike flat out dwarfs him
