Support James Boyman on his journey to become pro.

Aim

Here at Hoops we are supporting our local rider James Boyman for his upcoming season. This fund raiser is to support his dream to be a pro.

A little about us (Hoops Velo) and of course James Boyman.

We here at Hoops are passionate about cycling, its why we do what we do best, sell cycling as a life style, a sport and its great community.

Now as you can imagine as local bike shop we get a fair amount of riders asking for support to help them along their journey in cycling. However every now and then you get that tingle when you know this guy or girl can do something special.

Enter James Boyman (imagine dry ice around his feet, walking to eye of the tiger).

James has been a customer with us for a while now, and we know his journey has had its ups and downs.

Now this story may sound familiar…. But we know James is “on my bike, busting my ass six hours a day”

After being diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2012, having the treatment and returning to full health, it's fair to say James’s outlook on life changed significantly (as well as having thinner hair and a true sense of perspective).

 He grew up racing bikes but hadn't raced for a few years, in 2015 He returned to racing with a fair degree of success. As being a professional cyclist is what he’s always wanted to do and having his 'wake up call', he decided on ditching the desk job and began cycling full time in pursuit of making it and fulfilling the dream. 

Now we are all about the comeback kid, so thought we’d help out. With our expert workshop and our partner Trek Bikes we have supplied James with racing weapons of choice.

RIGHT! This is where you, yes you reading this comes in. We are looking to help fund James with his travel, race costs and all the mixed nuts he can buy this season. Being a full time athlete with little support is hard enough so we wanted to take the load off. If we can get him to the Nationals and get James noticed we have done our job.

Can you Help?

Thank You for reading.
