Kyle Warner's 2013 Race Season
Donation protected
My Name is Kyle Warner and I am a 20 year old Professional Mountain Bike Racer from Chico, CA. For
2013 I will be competing at every-stop on the North American Enduro Tour "
http://naetmtb.com/about.html " This race series will be held at venues
all over North America.
This
past season was my introduction to Enduro racing and although I was self
funded, working full time, and the second youngest Pro in the American Tour. I finished 15th in the overall ranking for
the 2012 season.
This winter I have been invited to move in and train with arguably the fastest Enduro Racer in the world "Mark Weir" at his home in Novato, Ca. Mark has been one of the most dominant mountain bike racers in the world for the past 15 years. He has gotten on the podium of nearly every big race around the world and is hands down the most marketable and successful mountain bike athlete to date, essentially he is the Michael Jordan of Mountain Bikes.Now at the age of 40 he is staring to transition out of his racing career and into more of an ambassador role. He has extended an amazing opportunity to me, with the offer to live and train under his wing for all of January and February . Being so young I have the potential to be at the forefront of this ever-growing sport for the next ten to fifteen years and I want nothing more than to capitalize on this once in a life time opportunity.
To accomplish my goals and train full time with Mark this winter there are inherit costs that I will generate and that is why I am seeking support. Racing to me, is more than a dream. It is what I live for and I am so close to making it happen. All I need is the financial support to train my butt off and have this one breakout year.I am doing everything in my power to make this happen however if a few people can help me in achieving my goals it would mean the absolute world to me.This season I have Sponsors completely taking care of my Bikes / Gear needed to race and at select few events they will be covering my entry-fees / housing. Below is a general Idea of the expenses I will pay out of pocket getting to and competing in the remainder of the races for next season. The numbers are based on last seasons expenses.
Expenses:
Winter/Off Season:
.800 dollars for food, gas, living expenses while Training with Mark in Novato
Race Season "April - September":
Tentatively 12-14 races
Gas money: 700 dollars
Food: 500 dollars
Hotels: 600-800 dollars
Entry Fees: 400 dollars
Total Expenses For The Year: 3200 dollars
