Daniel Yujnovich, owner of Rival Racing, has teamed up with Ryan and Natarsha Birk of TMB BMX Consulting, to set up a USA based business and grow the brand in the USA market.
Ryan Birk stated, "After meeting with Daniel at this past USA BMX Grands and learning more about his brand and his vision for BMX race technology, I was very impressed with Rival and knew this was a brand I wanted to work with. I'm excited to be able to help Daniel grow his brand, not just in the USA market, but globally as well. While the market is flooded with many brands that are cookie cutter and same thing/different sticker, Rival has done their research and is doing the right things to push frame technology in the sport. We are looking forward to the challenge of established Rival as a staple brand here in the US."
