Onza takes the plunge across the pond

After making a name for itself in Europe in recent years, the Swiss tire manufacturer Onza Tires is now turning its attention to North America. A freeride warhorse from British Columbia is set to ride the Basel-based tires to popularity in the New World too.

The 21-year-old Garett Buehler grew up in Nelson in British Columbia, Canada, one of the hotspots of freeride sports. In October 2012, he was among the starters at the "Red Bull Rampage" for the third time - but failed to qualify in 16th place.

Buehler had already been invited to this legendary competition in the Utah desert in 2008 and 2010, but back then he didn't manage any scored runs in qualifying without crashing. At just 21 years old, the freeride athlete still has his future ahead of him, Onza's parent company Apex Sport LLC announced in a press release.

When asked about his cooperation with Onza Tires, Buehler said: "I've been riding with Onza tires since last fall and I'm very happy with them. For me, it's exciting and a great opportunity to work directly with a brand that is new to the big mountain segment. I'm really looking forward to the coming season with its various projects and many film plans."
