Jez Avery has been touring the country with his stunt show since 1999. He’s famous for his no-front-wheel wheelies, ramp-to-ramp jumping and bunny hopping.
A bike and appearance deal with Raleigh-Diamondback was terminated just before Christmas and Avery is now seeking a new sponsor. Previously Avery has had deals with Muddy Fox, Saracen and GT.
The sponsorship package would need to include two, £700+ bikes.
"It goes without saying that the bikes I use in my performances are subjected to quite a lot of harsh treatment, and are expected to be tough and reliable," said Avery.
The sponsorship also includes appearance fees at county shows and the like. Avery can attend 35+ events a year. He’s also a regular on TV, having appeared on BBC’s Blue Peter and other mainstream shows.
Sponsors get featured on the side of Avery’s massive Mercedes motorhome which is placed centre-stage during his performances.
