Oakley Sports

After the first weekend of cross-country, short-track and Super D racing in the H2O Overdrive Triple Crown, Oakley’s Max Plaxtonis now the overall series leader.

Oakley’s Plaxton won the men’s cross-country race as well as the Super D in the Triple Crown’s second race at the Chalk Creek Stampede, in Nathrop, Colorado, May 14-16.

Oakley’s World Champion Nino Schurter starts his 2010 campaign in style by winning the SRAM XX Maremma Cup in Massa Marittima, Tuscany. Oakley’s Florian Vogel takes 5th.

Last week, mountain bike’s golden couple, Jeremy Horgen-Kobelski and Heather Irmiger stopped by Oakley. The Boulder, Colorado based couple took a break from the cold for a week of what they thought would be warm weather training in Santa Barbara, only to be hit So Cals biggest storm in 10 years. Before their arrival the talk around the compound sounded the same. “These two are legit…both top pros in their own right. The real deal.” After they toured Oakley and, of course, went for a ride, we caught up with the double US marathon and cross-country champions.
