corporate rider

June 11th 2008
In a move
worthy of any stunt performed on two wheels, a motorcycle
entertainment company has taken on a new rider.
Dorsch
Acquisitions, LLC, led by Daniel J. Dorsch, the successful
franchise and hospitality CEO who is well known as the
turnaround artist, today announced that it has acquired a 40
percent ownership stake in
StuntWars, Inc., the original and
best sanctioning entertainment company in the sport of stunt
riding.
Through this
partnership, Dorsch Acquisitions will add financial and
strategic fuel to the already successful StuntWars business
platform, which includes stunt riding competitions, special
promotional demonstrations, video production, DVDs, and
other merchandise.
"After more than one year of searching to find the right
financial and strategic partner for StuntWars, we have
finally found the ideal match. Dorsch Acquisitions is
already connected to the motorcycle, franchise, restaurant
and hospitality worlds, all of which will mean greater
opportunities for StuntWars and more excitement for fans,
riders and sponsors alike," said Todd Colbert, the founder
of StuntWars who holds world records in stunt riding for the
most people on a wheelie and is known as the Godfather of
the sport.
"The leadership team of Dorsch Acquisitions is known for
making big changes happen in a very short time, and their
involvement with StuntWars is no exception," continued
Colbert. "They have brought strategic thinking and fast
action to our team, and we're ready to set the stunt bike
universe on fire."
In just the past few weeks, Dorsch Acquisitions has already
revved up the StuntWars development plan, which includes:
-
Engaging in active negotiations with several
entertainment and sports
venues to aggressively expand StuntWars event dates and
locations
-
Producing creative marketing pieces that will increase
the StuntWars
brand's visibility and attract new fans to the sport.
The marketing
efforts include a new, video-packed web site scheduled
to launch in a
few weeks
-
Financing the biggest prize payout in the sport,
ensuring that
StuntWars always features the best riders worldwide
-
Partnering with music and video entertainment companies
that will
showcase StuntWars thrills through new media outlets
-
Offering best-in-class corporate sponsorship
opportunities with the
StuntWars powerhouse brand
-
Attracting big sponsors who are already stepping up to
the plate
-
Organizing an official StuntWars Rider Association where
membership
provides benefits to riders, vendors, sponsors and
promoters
"Competitors, spectators and sponsors all have high
expectations today, and StuntWars is one of those rare
opportunities that partners the best of organized sports
with thrilling competition. Magazines from around the globe,
web sites, videos, local associations and fan clubs are
dedicated to stunt riding - it's no wonder that Todd Colbert
hit a home run when he brought the sport off of the street
and into exciting spectator venues," said Dan Dorsch of
Dorsch Acquisitions, who has a 25-year history of success in
the motorsports world as a competitor, a sponsor, a dealer
and a leader.
Nick Dorsch of Dorsch Acquisitions said: "Spectators hold
their breath each time a rider pulls off another gravity
defying trick, and like NASCAR, Supercross and the X Games,
StuntWars is becoming an international phenomenon that
brings television interest and sponsored teams to the
events. We're excited to be a part of that, and so are major
corporations both inside and outside of the motorcycle
industry. It's not a matter of if we'll have a blue chip
sponsorship roster, it's about which sponsors will sign on
quickly enough to be a part of it."
