San Diego Demo
KIRT VOREIS SANTA CRUZ ALLRIDE DEMO TOUR HUGE SUCCESS!
Friday April 27, 2007
San Diego, California
Santa Cruz Syndicate’s Kirt Voreis rolled into So Cal
today bringing his fleet of SRAM/ RockShox equipped
Santa Cruz bicycles to San Diego for riders to satisfy
their interest in which model would sweep them off
their feet. With the assistance of Bicycle Warehouse,
located at 5710 Kearny Villa Rd. in San Diego, and
their knowledgeable staff on hand to assist, Voreis
and his
ace mechanic Travis Lucas, set up bikes and
got people pedaling with off on Crankbrothers pedals
into the hills to put the bikes through their paces.
Of the crowd, most were prospective buyers trying to
narrow down their choice for purchase, and many
die-hard Santa Cruz fans were drooling over which to
add to their stable next. One beginner woman had
researched the Juliana model, rode that, then tried
out the Blur LT and was sold on the Blur. Jeff
Blackmore has been in the market for a new bike and
had researched the Nomad. Hearing that the demo was
coming near his town he was able to ride it and that
clinched the deal for him. He brought his friend
Johnny Leach along, who brought his 9-year old son
Brandon. With the Juliana model being a small frame it
was perfect for Brandon, and it was his first
mountain
bike ride ever! Dad is sold on the Blur LT and
Juliana, and stoked that the program had a bike small
enough for his son to try.
What Voreis brings to the people is much more than
great bikes. His enthusiasm shines as he dials in
each bike for each rider. He wants to ensure that
everyone has a great time and a quality experience.
Johnny Leach says, “Kirt is such a nice guy. I’ve
never met a professional athlete who is more
personable and accommodating as Kirt. This is such a
cool program and it was a great location. And the
bike really surprised me, it pedaled so well. I
thought it would be heavy, but it felt really light!
And Brandon rode the Juliana and it is a great bike
for him. It is a top of the line bike for his size,
it was perfect. It’s a keeper bike, not a $300.00
piece of junk or garage sale material.”
Jeff Blackmore was equally impressed. “It was a very
accommodating set-up.
Kirt is there to find out what
you want out of a bike and fits you to the bike you
need. He and Travis set up the bikes for you and when
you ride out of the parking lot, hitting the trail,
you are completely dialed in.”
It was a great turnout with 40 riders who tried the
bikes. Voreis says, “I was stoked even a few Kirt
Voreis fans came out! And I was happy to see all the
riders who came out to be fitted to a bike. I’d also
like to thank the survivors that went on the ride
after, which included my mom, Brenda, and also the
marine, Aaron, who was the first to arrive and the
last to leave.”
All the riders were treated to swag by Bicycle
Warehouse and the over 21 crowd enjoyed ice cold beer
from Kirt’s local Bend, Oregon brewery, Deschutes
Brewery. Many bikes will be purchased from the
experience
the riders had today, but even more
important they will all take home the great experience
delivered by the enthusiastic Voreis.
