Even though we’re eight months away, excitement continues building for the 2015 Canadian Motocross Nationals. It seems every week, a new, high-profile athlete commits to racing in Canada; and today, with the announcement of FLY Racing and Gamma Sales stepping up their support of Redemption Racing GP Bikes KTM, it means another seat opens up on the National Tour.
Passion for racing runs deep in FLY Racing and Gamma Sales. With Redemption expanding their pit presence in 2015, operating out of two race haulers, an A and B team, and hiring podium contenders in both MX2 and MX1 classes, it poses opportunity for Gamma Sales to drive up interest of the FLY brand and really make a splash on the national circuit.

“We’ve been working with Redemption Racing for a few years now and they’ve proved themselves to be a contender in Canadian motocross,” says Gamma Sales Marketing Director, Jeff Fullerton. “Redemption has been on the podium before with Gavin Gracyk, battled in the top five this past summer with Seth Rarick and our goal is to get back onto the box next summer in both classes. FLY Racing likes to go racing and so does Gamma. We look forward to adding more talent to the already stacked Canadian Championship.”
At the moment, Redemption has Seth Rarick returning on a KTM 250 SX two-stroke in the MX2 class. Rarick took part in his first full Canadian national season this past summer, fighting for podiums at times before eventually finishing the 10-round racing series in fifth overall.
“We’re in the middle of nailing down another couple of riders,” says Redemption’s Team Manager, Josh Snider. “We have our eyes on top finishing racers from this past summer in both MX2 and MX1. We want to hire a Canadian first and foremost but we have had discussions with American riders. We should be announcing our new rider (s) shortly.
Professional race teams don’t run on air (although it would be nice), and Snider is quite thankful to have FLY Racing and Gamma Sales continuing their support of Redemption Racing.
“Things are coming together much earlier this season and we couldn’t be happier to have made this deal with FLY and Gamma,” adds Snider. “We’ve been wearing FLY gear for years now and really like the quality, fit and style of it. We like to stick with companies and brands as long as we can. Hopefully we can put FLY back onto the podium many times next summer—that’s the goal!”
