Press release March 10th, 2010

The first of these events will be held at Walden Motocross in Wallkill, NY on April 18th.
What's in it for the riders?
What makes the Xtreme Motocross Series so different is that we XMS uses the most technologically advanced online sign up and scoring systems. We then integrate that with advanced technology on the XMS website to allow riders the ability to see their lap times in near real-time, thereby enhancing the general riding experience. XMS also utilizes hi-tech video and still photography at all of our events to ensure the maximum media exposure for the riders and their sponsors.
Yes, both riders and sponsors benefit from these features as it adds weight to their individual and/or team marketing programs. Web 2.0 social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter are integrated on our website so riders can spread the word about their riding results and the sponsor items they used to achieve them.
Exciting racing action is guaranteed in the XMS. We are tired of champions being decided halfway through the season and we are doing something about it. Using a unique points system, we have designed the XMS so no champions will be decided before the last race. You'll have to be in it to win it...
Lastly, XMS will be filming all season for a HD highlights DVD that will be available for all. We could go on and on but these are just a few benefits for the riders, associated teams and sponsors.
What's in it for the sponsors?
XMS believes strongly that our industry sponsors are absolutely vital to the continued healthy growth of motocross. And also that sponsors sometimes do not reap the benefits that they expect. We want to change that. We commit to using 100% of our expertise to gain maximum exposure for our series sponsors. XMS offers a large range of sponsorship opportunities, from individual product awards to full title series sponsorships. Here are just a few of our newest sponsors below:
Why should riders and sponsors attend this event?
The staff at XMS have worked hard all year to combine exciting elements of racing with a safe, family oriented environment for everyone. We started this series because we strongly believed we could combine the best aspects of local amateur motocross with modern technology and marketing, allowing riders and teams to enjoy the benefits and obtain the maximum marketing exposure for their race programs. Just as riders enjoy the benefits of sponsorship programs, they must step up and try to give back the maximum exposure right back. We can help that happen.

Murrieta, CA - KTM Motorsports and Jägermeister are proud to announce the start of a partnership that lists the number one selling imported liqueur in America as the title sponsor of the 2010 motocross team.
 
KTM and Jägermeister first began their relationship in 2009 as Jägermeister stepped up as a corporate sponsor for the MDK/KTM Factory Team. "Besides the obvious answer that the corporate company colors match well, there are many reasons we are proud to extend our relationship with Jägermeister. Top on the list being the demographic of their customers and their enthusiasm for keeping the sport of motocross alive while supporting the lifestyle of our main enthusiasts," commented KTM President Jon-Erik Burleson.

For 2010 KTM will focus on the motocross series. The new team created from the KTM and Jägermeister partnership will be appropriately titled as the Jägermeister/KTM Factory Racing Team which will debut with sole team rider Mike Alessi in May of 2010 under leadership from Team Manager Casey Lytle.

"KTM is taking a direction opposite of the competition - a motocross only team for 2010," remarked Lytle. "Jägermeister is the most fitting sponsor for the direction that KTM would like to take in the motocross community. KTM's direction is to focus on interacting with our customers on all levels. Together KTM and Jägermeister have laid out plans for multiple events in the coming year that will focus around motocross riding with active involvement from our customers."

Alessi's dare-devil approach to motocross riding and constant interaction with his fans goes hand-in-hand with the lifestyle of Jägermeister consumers. "From music tours to trikes and Jagerettes to tap machines, Jägermeister continuously seeks new and innovative ways to integrate the brand into our consumer's lifestyle," stated Bill Henderson, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Advertising at Sidney Frank Importing Company, Inc. "We are excited to continue building momentum with the KTM partnership and our increasing participation in the motocross arena."

The first event will be the kick off of the Jägermeister and KTM relationship at the Jägermeister/KTM Christmas Party to be held Friday, December 11, 2009 at Pala Raceway. This Christmas celebration is sure to be a hit. While all enthusiasts are invited out, all KTM riders will receive special treatment with a pass to ride FREE for the day if they show up with their KTM. Jägermeister will bring a live band and the celebration for the holiday and this great relationship will take off.
