"For years people tried to get me to ride mountain bikes," said Bostrom, "But I had absolutely zero interest. Then my brother Eric and some friends asked me if I'd race the 24 Hours of Moab with them - I finished that and was hooked! Since then I got a better bike, raced 24 hours solo, started racing Cyclocross, which is like racing road bikes on dirt, and now I've hooked up with this awesome team. I'm stoked!"
"It's great to have another motorcycle Champion join the
Sho-Air Racing Team," says Scott Tedro, President of Sho-Air International. "National Mountain Bike Champ and former motocross star Johnny O'Mara has been with us since the beginning, Stunt Rider Jason Britton is a sponsor of the team, and I've got a little throttle-twisting in my background too. It's great to integrate motorsports stars into the incredible sport of mountain biking." Team Sho-Air also includes Australian National Cross-Country Champion Sid Taberlay, Costa Rican superstar Manuel Prado, several age-group National Champions and a slew of amateur racers who compete internationally spreading the gospel of the benefits of off-road cycling.
