What is BMX?

• History of BMX
• The sport of bicycle motocross began in the
  early 1970's in Southern California. A new sport
  created by kids for kids was born. Bicycle
  Motocross was the name it was given. That name
  was quickly shortened to BMX. It grabbed the
  attention of thousands of kids in one short
  summer. Boys and girls on their modified bicycles
  were seen jamming through the dirt emulating
  their motorcycle motocross heroes.
• Imitation lead to innovation and quickly the kids
  were performing tricks and "getting air." The
  next step was organized racing. By 1977, pockets
  of loosely organized BMX races dotted the nation
  from coast to coast. It was time for a national
  sanctioning body and from out of this need, the
  AMERICAN BICYCLE ASSOCIATION was created.
• The AMERICAN BICYCLE ASSOCIATION not only filled
  that need, it completely changed and continues to
  shape the future of the sport it serves. Today
  the sport of bicycle motocross is sweeping the
  country. There are over 150,000 riders of all
  ages racing in organized races at tracks across
  America. Races are organized according to age
  group and skill levels, so everyone gets the
  opportunity to compete on a fair and competitive
  basis. Even beginning riders have the chance to
  race safely with other new riders.
• ABA BMX racing is a sport of youthful achievement
  and the American family. While the young boy or
  girl BMX racer develops skills at an individual
  pace, they are learning about winning, losing and
  trying again. The racer's family learns that time
  spent together is support of the racer and the
  individual achievements is quality time.
• Metro BMX is Bakersfield's local youth bicycle
  motocross track. It has been in existence at
  its current location for 18 years. The current
  owners/track operators have been involved in the
  management of the track since its inception and
  continue to be devoted to the development of the
  sport of BMX and the families who participate.

Sponsorship Proposal

• METRO BMX is a family-oriented local youth
  bicycle motocross team that is dedicated to
  enriching their riders by fostering personal
  achievement, determination, a desire to improve,
  team commitment, and promoting good sportsmanship
  both on the track and in the community.
  Currently, over 100 riders, along with their
  families and friends, participate at Metro BMX on
  a weekly basis throughout the year.
• The 2009 American Bicycle Association (ABA) US
  Nationals will be held at Metro BMX April 30-May
  2, 2010. This event, which we have hosted nine
  times since 1992, brings over 1,000 riders and
  their families from around the United States and
  several from around the World. All totaled the
  exposure is tremendous with upwards of 5000
  people in attendance, internet broadcasting,
  website coverage, local media, and magazine
  coverage. According to the Visitors Convention
  Bureau, Metro BMXs national is the 4th largest
  event in the City of Bakersfield (revenue
  generated per visitor).

Proposal (Cont)

• We would like to propose to you the ability to
  sponsor Metro BMX and help bring, and keep, the
  US Nationals at our track each year. This is a
  win-win situation for both parties because your
  company will receive advertisement on both the
  local and national level, and your company
  donation will help bring this huge national event
  to our facility and our community.
• For your minimum 500 donation, your company will
  be advertised on a billboard at the track placed
  directly above where the nights races are
  posted. (This is the area of the facility with
  the most traffic.) Your company logo will also be
  placed on the event trophies (of which 1,600 are
  distributed), event stickers, and time
  permitting, in the event ad in the association
  magazine. In addition your company will be
  advertised on the Metro BMX webpage
  (www.metrobmx.com).
• National events of this magnitude takes months of
  preparation, and a large commitment of funding.
  Your company donation is vital to bring this
  event to Bakersfield and Metro BMX. If your
  company would like to help sponsor the track and
  be a part of a winning adventure for the riders
  and community, please contact me. Thank you for
  your consideration.
• Sincerely,
• Vince Mulhause, Track Owner/Operator
