For Immediate Release: Northvale, NJ - Jamis Bicycles is very happy to announce (on our 30th birthday!) that the completely redesigned 2009 Jamis Dakar BAM II downhill bike will be the Official Bike of Diablo Freeride Park and the US Open of Mountain Biking. Diablo Freeride Park, America’s premier mountain bike park located in Vernon, NJ, is less than one hour from Jamis headquarters, and Jamis product managers regularly take advantage of Diablo's insane network of jump lines, ramps, wall rides and gnarly DH trails to bang up product and initiate new office staff. "We've spent the better part of the past year testing prototypes of this bike at Diablo", says Jamis mtb product manager Craig Hoyt..."so it only made sense to partner up with the park and make something happen. Those guys and gals do such a great job and it's right in our backyard. We're really excited to see how Jamis and Diablo can work together to invigorate east coast mountain biking. Our bikes can only get better because of it."

Beginning for the 2009 season, Diablo Freeride Park riders will have the opportunity to rent custom Dakar BAM II downhill bikes or win one (Jamis will also be supplying BAM II bikes as prizes for Diablo's Domination Series). More information and announcements to follow as we move closer to the 2009 season. Stay tuned.
