New Mirraco ad featuring Dave Rytell

Friday, April 25th, 2008

mco-rytell_drop-(0).jpgDave Rytell might not be your average contest rider but he sure knows how to rip it up. Dave has been working on getting his passport dialed for his first European trip that will take place next week. Rytell is going to the FISE in France so if you see a dude ripping it up and you don’t know who it is, it might very well be Mirraco rider Dave Rytell.

mco-rytell_drop-(1).jpgCheck out his latest Mirraco advertisement. Massive bomb drop to floating dock. No time for error here as he might either get seriously injured or lose his Fivestar bike in the water. Check out the sequence or wait for the new magazines to arrive with the double page spread for better viewing.
