Should Mastercraft sponsor Keith Lyman?

[Jerseydave]

Keith is a great wakeboarder with a unique style for going huge, plus he's riding in more contests than before. He's been a regular on www.stokemeter.com answering members' questions live on ustream. (pretty cool, check it out if you get the chance)
He's also doing some traveling clinics, one of which will be here in NJ at the end of June.

Keith is also sponsored by Oakley and Liquid Force, so it seems to me this would be a good chance for MC to grab a great rider to add to their list of sponsored athletes.

What do you think?

(hopefully John Dorton will read this) :D

Where can I find info on the traveling clinics you refer to? I did a few google searches, but came up empty. I am in the DC area, but have some relatives in NJ and would love to check them out.

Thanks.

I would think if he has the resume that MasterCraft would require to be a team member, there is a position available to add to the team and the funds are there to support another member, then it will be if someone doesn't pick him up first.

Yet another poll with no UMP option.

It would be nice for Keith to be part of the team right now. MasterCraf having to layoff the current Team Athlete Manager...I don't see this happening any time soon

He would be great

I'm thinking new sponsorships won't be happening for a while.

I am the one setting-up the Lyman clinic for NJ. It's on June 29th and 30th. If you're interested send me a PM.

Wow, so MC has a team with no team manager? Or is Zane stepping in as a "temporary" manager? Does MC still have the same riders/skiers as last year?

Zane is the regional rep for the South Coastal USA and is a TEAM RIDER

i think keith would be a great add... i've always liked his style of riding... keith is super stylie... there's a couple of MCs riders i could see trading out to get keith in... i'm like a couple others here and don't see any adds being made w/ them dropping the team mgr
