MATADOR, a bold new brand by Jack Link’s®, announced today that 17-year-old BMX rider, Dennis Enarson has joined the MATADOR action sports team. “I am stoked to ride for MATADOR,” said Enarson. “It’s awesome to have Jack Link’s backing what we’re doing in BMX.”

Enarson competes in both dirt and park. At the age of 16, Enarson placed third in Park in his first pro contest at the 2007 Dew Tour in Baltimore.
