European Extreme Sports Phenomena Hitting The US Now, Air-Trekkers Are Here
Bend, OR (PRWEB) November 26, 2007 -- Alpine Innovations, LLC, the exclusive U.S. distributor of Air-Trekkers, has launched one of the hottest new extreme sport and fitness products to hit this country in years. Originally known as jumping stilts, a patented invention by Alexander Boeck of Germany, Air-Trekkers are already raging across Europe.
Alpine Innovations spared no effort in locking up the rights to sell Boeck's extreme sports breakthrough in the US. "When I first saw kids in the UK running down the street at speeds of 20 miles-per-hour and jumping over cars, I knew American kids would love this new sport," said Gary Armstrong, founder of Alpine Innovations. "Today's action sports scene is all about getting 'Big Air,' and anyone can get 'Big Air' with Air-Trekkers."
Alpine, located in Bend, OR, was recently awarded the distribution rights for Boeck's unique development. Armstrong, who named his product "Air-Trekkers," will be unveiling a highly creative DRTV marketing campaign to launch the product to extreme sports enthusiasts in the U.S. Air-Trekkers have recently been seen on America's TV screens in a cutting edge TV campaign by Zurich Insurance.
Skateboarders, roller bladers, BMX riders, surfers, and other extreme sport participants who crave the Big Air feeling will love the adrenaline rush that Air-Trekkers will give them.
Armstrong is marketing Air-Trekkers for a variety of reasons but primarily to "get kids outdoors again." Balance and motor skill development along with a great workout are additional benefits.
How high can you fly? It's pretty much up to you. Actually, with Air-Trekkers you can jump as high as eight feet, dunk a basketball, run over 20 m.p.h., do flips and stunts, or just bounce to your heart's content. Air-Trekkers will allow you to practice all your skateboard, wakeboard, snowboard and BMX tricks right in your own backyard. Better yet, Air-Trekkers provide a great cardiovascular and full body strength-training workout in short order. They're great for everyone.
Air-Trekkers safely strap to each leg resulting in increased height of 18" from the spring-loaded stilts which have a space age, carbon fiber spring ready to provide Big Air. Air-Trekkers work by means of compression and deflection, similar to a trampoline. The spring accumulates, stores, and returns the amount of energy you put into it. The harder you press the more energy you accumulate and the higher and farther you go.
"It's incredible what kids in Europe are doing on these things. The sky really is the limit. Adults who are bored with traditional exercising seem to like the thrill of the workout too. The future has arrived," says Armstrong.
Along with the national DRTV campaign, Air-Trekkers.com boasts a highly interactive website. Packed with the latest trekking information, links, lessons and forums, the website promises to be the Internet community for trekkers all over the U.S.
With extreme sport participation on a meteoric rise in popularity and with the need for Big Air as the center point of most extreme sport events, the U.S. will take notice of this new European product that promises to provide users with Big Air.
Today's kids and young adults are not into running or spending time in gyms like their parents did in their youth. Today's youth want exercise with thrills attached. They want attention; they want adrenaline. Air-Trekkers deliver.
