Joey Gough For 08

Joey Gough (8 times BMX National Champion, World Cup 4X podium regular and recently placed World 7 on a 4X, for those that don't know) is already looking toward the 2008 season, having joined forces with Vans shoes and Dickies Clothing.

She'll be racing the European BMX series this winter and aiming to qualify for the Beijing Olympics, whilst also competing in the odd 4X race and hitting up the trails (Joey is one of very few girls who loves riding trails and is heavily involved in her local scene... see below).

All in all it sounds like she'll be a busy girl next year and it's good to see there are sponsors out there who recognising when a rider deserves support.

For Joey it's a dream come true, having been a big fan of Vans and Dickies for years, and she's suitably excited to be a part of the teams.

I wonder if any other sponsors are making room in their teams for new Joey shaped editions!?
