FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: RAPTOR PERFORMANCE SHOCKS ANNOUNCES SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH BACKCOUNTRY RIDER SAHEN SKINNER.

Warroad, MN – September 6th, 2019 – Raptor Performance Shocks (RaptorShocks.com), a leading Minnesota-based supplier of performance suspension products for such noted snowmobile brands as Arctic Cat, Polaris, Ski-Doo and Yamaha, announced today that they have entered into a sponsorship agreement with Sahen Skinner, Polaris Factory Sponsored Terrain Dominator.

“Sahen brings a lot of backcountry experience to the table,” says Jake Anderson, owner of Raptor Performance Shocks. “He’s been around our sport for a long time and has built a great guiding business with his brand, SS Freeride.”

Sahen Skinner grew up in western Wyoming in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Even at a young age, he was fascinated by anything loud and fast. Having testing his ability in RMSHA races early on, Sahen realized his true passion was backcountry riding and he pursued that passion by riding and guiding for industry expert Chris Burandt of Burandt’s Backcountry Adventures, located in Colorado.

“We met with Sahen at the Jackson Hole Hillclimbs after we’d heard he was looking at suspension options,” said Anderson. “It didn’t take long to realize that he had a great head on his shoulders and would be a benefit to the Raptor brand.”

From that point, it was only a matter of time for the official sponsorship agreement to be reached.

“We’ve had many close friends and clients show up to ride that had Raptors on their sleds,” remarked Skinner. “It’s impressive to see the growth of their brand over the last five years. We’re really excited to get our clients on the new Kinetic Series shocks!”

Sahen will be a big part of the Raptor Shocks product development team as they continue to push the envelope in the snow industry.

“It’s going to be really great to have some of my fleet sleds setup with Raptor suspension components for the coming season,” added Skinner. “Proper suspension setup is incredibly important and their new Kinetic Series snow shocks are made for all types of riding, without compromise.”

Raptor Performance Shocks’ encompassing inventory of snowmobile enhancement products include full shock packages for all of the most popular snowmobiles in the mountain riding segment. The company offers full snowmobile shock packages, shock service components as well as accessories.

“We are proud to say our biggest asset is our profound understanding of vehicle dynamics, along with exceptional design and engineering capabilities,” concludes Anderson. “This partnership with Sahen allows us to showcase ourselves as a provider of premium suspension products to enhance vehicle performance in addition to cementing our dedication to our customers’ experience.”
