Munich, July 11th 2014 – Nicholi Rogatkin, currently most sensational FMB World Tour rookie of the year signs with the German sports marketing- and communication agency rasoulution. Nicholi joins rasoulution’s all-star athlete roster, including Martin Soderstrom (SWE), Thomas Genon (BEL), Peter Henke (GER), Anton Thelander (SWE), Anthony Messere (CAN) and street trials rider Danny MacAskill (GBR).
rasoulution is always on the look out for new talents and great athletes. For rasoulution’s founder and managing director, Tarek Rasouli, the decision to partner with Nicholi Rogatkin was a no brainer: “We follow many riders throughout the year and we always keep an eye out for new additions to our team. Nicholi is a young athlete that shows a lot of talent and already has many years of experience behind him. We are excited to bring him onboard. Everyone here at rasoulution anticipates that Nicholi will be a huge success.”
Rogatkin was born in Boston, Massachusetts where he grew up riding BMX from the tender age of five. In 2013, 12 years later, he is making his FMB World Tour debut, already drawing all the attention with his performances. The talent Nicholi is bringing to the table amazes fans, industry members and fellow riders and rasoulution is honored to support him as a pro-athlete during his rookie year.
Since Rogatkin switched from BMX to MTB just last year, he brings an exciting new flare to the MTB industry. He has a bag full of huge tricks – like the cashroll, his signature move – and the consistency to execute them without fail, time and time again. Nicholi can be happy with his season so far – great podiums such as 2nd place at White Style in February, recently a monumental victory at 26TRIX in Leogang and a solid fourth place at the first FMB Diamond Series event, Crankworx Les Deux Alpes last week.
Nicholi is certainly a rider you’ll want to follow. Despite rising to the top fast, Nicholi has kept his down to earth attitude with a strong, level head: “My career in sports is developing so fast now that I am on the FMB World Tour, it’s time to put my career into professional hands. I am not expecting to become a superstar, but for sure this step will bring my riding career onto another level. I’m stoked to be part of the rasoulution-team.”
It is still early in the 2014 season but Rogatkin has already earned himself a fix spot in the FMB Diamond Series. Throwing cashrolls, lazy front flips and triple tailwhips, he is leaving others stunned and under pressure to raise their game.
