Los Angeles, CA - A fund raiser is being held in conjunction with the

CCCX Downhill Race Series starting this Saturday, May 3rd in honor of

Mark A. Reynolds who died on Saturday, April 19, 2008.

Mark’s death was a result of the crash he had while competing in the

Downhill race during the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, CA. Mark, who

was just 48 years old, was the owner of Wicked Racin and innovator of

the Dualrailluer Guide for which is in the process of being patented

as the first dual chain ring guide. Mark was an avid mountain biker

who raced competitively and he also enjoyed the action sports scene

including snowboarding, wake boarding and even piloting airplanes. He

was also a friend to many as well as a mentor to those looking to

improve their skills.

After hearing the news on Saturday, members of the Evomo Mountain Bike

Team stepped forward to contact fellow industry companies in order to

organize a memorial fund raiser in Mark’s name. "I feel it’s the right

thing to do and I really feel for the family who had to hear such

terrible news", said Tom Judy, Evomo Downhill Team Member. Everyone on

the Evomo team instantly said they would be happy to make a collective

Team donation to help. Within a few days, Fox Racing was ready to ship

out some product donations and Keith DeFiebre, CCCX race organizer,

offered his event location as a place to hold the fund raiser. "It was

pretty awesome to get such instant support", said Tom Judy.

Mark’s family hopes to contribute to a freeride or jump park that will

be named after Mark so that people of all levels can enjoy the sport

of mountain biking and can feel encouraged and supported, just as Mark

made all of us feel.

Fox Racing Shox, Evomo, X-Fusion, Pactimo, Stan’s No Tubes, Cool

Cycling Club, Calabazas Cyclery, Trailhead Cyclery, and Auburn Bike

Works have already stepped up to donate cash or product for the fund

raising raffle that will be held at the CCCX DH Race Series finale on

Sunday, June 22. Memorial T-shirts and raffle tickets will be for sale

at this weekends event in which all proceeds will go to the fund in

honor of Mark. "By having a huge raffle at our series finale in June

we are able to maximize the cash we can raise by selling tickets at

the next 5 races", said Keith DeFiebre, CCCX Race organizer.

This weekend’s event will be held at Toro Park in California, located

between Salinas and Monterey off of Hwy 68 just minutes from Laguna

Seca Raceway. Registration for racing opens at 8am.
