FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 4, 2012 -- Scotts Valley, CA, January 4, 2012- Easton-sponsored cyclocross star Jeremy “JPow” Powers (Team Rapha-FOCUS) has been absolutely dominating the domestic ‘cross scene this season and his Behind THE Barriers online video series has been diligently documenting all the fun. Now Easton has teamed up with Behind THE Barriers to give away a set of EA90 SL wheels as part of the grand prize in the Behind THE Barriers Imitation Challenge.

In keeping with the irreverent energy of Behind THE Barriers, the Imitation Challenge asked contestants to film their own version of an episode and post it to the Behind THE Barriers Facebook page. The Imitation with the most likes will win. Voting is open until January 9 and complete details can be found at http://www.behindthebarriers.com/imitation-challenge

Easton is proud to be the exclusive wheel, handlebar, stem and seatpost supplier for all of Team Rapha-FOCUS. While Powers is the strongest CX racer in the US, repeating as U.S. Gran Prix of Cyclocross Champion and top American at 11th in the UCI world rankings, the rest of team are no slouches: Zach McDonald just claimed the U23 overall win at USGPCX, veteran Chris Jones had a consistent season after an early injury, and new addition, 23-year-old French standout Julie Krasniak is asserting herself in both Europe and in the US. For more information on the equipment Team Rapha-FOCUS chooses for cyclocross racing and training, like the EC90 SL carbon tubular and the new EA90 RT road tubeless wheelsets, visit www.eastoncycling.com.
