Introduction

 
 

Matt Hunt is the most successful junior rider in New Zealand motocross history.  That’s a huge achievement given the riders that have gone through the ranks before him who now dominate international motocross and supercross events such as Josh Coppins, Ben Townley, and the King brothers. 
 

Matt who is from Gisborne, has always had a passion for riding and racing dirt bikes.  With the support of his parents, Terry and Wendy, Matt was racing all over New Zealand following the motocross and supercross series, collecting numerous regional championship titles along the way.  Strong family values have taught the teenager a huge amount with regards to presentation, professionalism, ethics and the value of “hard, yet smart”, work. 
 

But it is not Matt’s incredible ability to win races that really stands out – it’s his attitude.  Matt is a hugely popular and respected competitor off the motorcycle.  This means he has a huge following with competitors, supporters, sponsors and the general public.  Matt’s cool, calm and collected nature makes him the “ultimate ambassador” for both the sport and his sponsors. 
 

As the youngest rider at 16 years old, Matt contested the 2007 Senior Motocross Nationals and posted a respectable eighth place in the 125cc Class. He made the podium at the Rotorua round finishing in second equal place. 
 

In 2008 he finished fifth overall in the 125cc Class and third in the Under 21 Class within a class.  He had mixed luck with no points scored at the Timaru round but a win in the Under 21 class at the Hawkes Bay round. 
 
 

Many are tipping Matt to be one of the next big names in New Zealand and international motocross, so all eyes will be on him in 2009-2010 as he continues to cement his place in the NZ and international motocross and supercross arena.

the team 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Matt is currently sponsored by CGM Motorcycles and riding a KX250F.  Riding competitive machinery is hugely important, which is why Matt’s motorcycles are specifically set up to handle every track.  Matt has the best skills and knowledge behind him to ensure his race bikes are well prepared, which will give Matt the best opportunity to be at the front of the pack each and every time. 
 
 
 

Kawasaki motorcycles are renowned for their strong performance and great handling.  With the addition of race componentry and specialist engine materials, this bike will be a strong contender on race day.

SUPERCROSS 
 

Matt has a particular interest in Supercross and shows a good style and rhythm which is vital to achieving success at this facet of the sport.

He recently competed in the Hamilton Superx and through a combination of lap times and heat races qualified for 4th gate pick, no mean feat at this sophisticated event.

He finished in 7th place overall after a small crash in the second race cost him some valuable points.

January 6  Timaru Round 1 NZ SX Champs

January 9  Motueka South Island SX Champs

January 10  Motueka Round 2 NZ SX Champs

return on sponsorship

investment 
 
 

Matt’s career if successful to the highest level he is striving for, could return very lucrative prize purses/contract payments.  Matt would then be able to either repay the people who have helped him during his career, or in return “pay it forward” by financially assisting future young riders in achieving their goals. 
 

REPRESENT YOUR BRAND/SERVICE AT ALL EVENTS

As Matt and his team will be a representative of your brand/service at motocross events, your company will be represented with professionalism and integrity.  This will be through personal and team appearance, conservations with members of the public, press interviews, acceptance speeches and general discussions.  Matt will also supply recommendations to anyone who enquires. 
 

PROVIDE YOU WITH UP-TO-DATE RACE REPORTS

You will receive up-to-date information of races contested, results and other race information.  You will also receive copies of interviews, web links of press literature and any other material of investment value.

ATTEND YOUR COMPANY PROMOTIONS OR FUNCTIONS

Where applicable, Matt can attend any company promotions you may have, and where possible make available his motorcycle for displays, promotions or similar.
