2012 Team Green Team Program
Crupi offers teams who
qualify a Co-Sponsorship Program that offers
benefits, discounts and a chance to part of Crupi's
National Team Green Program!
(This
program may not be available in all countries,
contact us to find out)
Crupi has been making the
best BMX frames and parts since 1982.
For the past 30 years, Crupi has not only
dominated the BMX parts market, but Crupi has
sponsored some of the world’s greatest riders and
teams along the way!
Crupi’s National Team program is NOT for everyone as we run a true
co-sponsorship program which is a throwback to the
good old days of BMX racing when teams actually did
represent the companies that sponsored them. A
true co-sponsorship program for a team is not
offering discounts to just a few members on the team
but getting the entire team on board with the
products that they are representing. By
becoming a Crupi co-sponsored team, your team will
be eligible for the biggest discounts Crupi offers.
To be
part of our National program, you must not only act
like a Factory Sponsored Team but you must look like
one too! Therefore,
we have a list of requirements that must be followed
by all members of the team in order to participate
and the base requirement for every rider is that
they race in full Crupi uniform just like the
Factory riders do.
(Crupi does not offer
co-sponsorships to teams who do not wear the
complete Crupi uniform but we can have your team or
shop logo added to your Crupi jerseys!)
Team
managers must first submit the team application and
release form. Once
you have been accepted into the program, you can get
started!
Here’s
what it takes to become a Crupi Team . . .
what you need to do
- Your team (minimum of 6 riders - which is a
full team sheet) must be a registered team in
order to participate (USABMX,
UCI etc...)
- Each member listed on your team application
will be required to ride a Crupi frame and the
Crupi Team uniform consisting of the jersey and
Fly pants. This is a team sponsorship so
the team will need to support Crupi & Rhythm
products.
- Team managers will work with Crupi directly
(not the riders or their parents).
- Bike Shop teams will only be eligible if the
shop is currently
stocking Crupi & Rhythm products.
- All team number plates must have a Crupi &
Rhythm sticker on it.
- Teams must be willing to hang banners under
your tent, hand out brochures and stickers.
- You must list Crupi Team Green & Rhythm as
your sponsors.
- A monthly race report must be submitted to
Crupi by email.
- You team will be representing Crupi, and as
such, must be polite and helpful to anyone who
approaches you.
Unsportsmanlike
conduct of any sort by any team rider or his/her parent may be
subject to immediate dismissal.
This includes verbal or physical misconduct.
There will be no arguing, fighting or "bad
mouthing" your sponsor, fellow racers or track officials.
Here’s
The Deal . . .
