DSG Adds Four Top Athletes to its Roster

Posted by DSG on Sep 19th 2016

The number four is really famous if you look at it in terms of Super Bowl winning quarterback Brett Favre, the greatest motocross racer of all time Ricky Carmichael, Nascar Sprint Cup series driver Kevin Harvick or the great NHL defender Bobby Orr.

What does this have to do with DSG Outerwear? DSG is adding four tremendously talented snowmobile athletes to its Pro Rider roster for the 2016 season!

These riders will collaborate on product development, marketing and brand awareness under the direction of another pro rider and DSG team member, Stephanie Schwartz. “If I could have made a dream team of exceptional, well-rounded and technical riders, these four were it and hand-selected by me! To think we landed these Backcountry/Mountain riders that, in my opinion, set the bar for female athletes in the sport is truly honorable. I am humbled to have these powerful, forward-thinking riders on our team to ride with and will have an all-around fun time this coming season as we continue to develop technical products for female riders in snowmobiling. I am beyond pumped!”

Amy Flowers, Canada
One of DSG’s early believers and instrumental in developing our Avid Tech outerwear alongside Stephanie Schwartz, she lets her riding speak for itself. Amy can be found racing, hill climbing, hill cross racing and letting her sled sing in the backcountry of BC while being an outstanding mother.

Nicole Sullivan, U.S.
Nicole rewards herself each year by setting and achieving her riding goals. One of her main goals this year is to lean on her 15 years of riding experience to bring awareness and new ideas to DSG’s product line. She is always pushing and developing her backcountry riding and especially enjoys tree riding! What is her favorite part of snowmobiling? That’s easy, “the friendships I have made along the way and people from all walks of life that are unique, rad and just plain fun to be around, both on and off the snow!”

Sarah Whipple, U.S.
Owner of RideMcCall.com, the site is proof of how serious Sarah is about her riding! It started in the womb with her mom and family being avid snowmobilers. She has more than 13 seasons of experience riding the mountains of central Idaho and calls McCall home base. “I currently live in McCall, Idaho with a snowmobile trail right out my back door to some of the area’s best backcountry riding – literally roll up the garage door, pull the rope and go! I enjoy riding more technical terrain in lighter, deep snow conditions and really appreciate a good challenge like trying to find new lines up through treed hillsides in untouched snow.” With DSG being located in Wisconsin, it doesn’t get any better to have Sarah in the mountains testing technical gear at all times.

Amber Holt, U.S.
It’s very easy to tell how outstanding of a person Amber is because she flat out cares more about her riding schools, Backcountry Basics®, and introducing new riders (both men and women), military and government agencies to backcountry riding than she does her own personal riding image. Amber no longer engages in sponsorships as a professional athlete, however, does partner with key businesses like DSG that have the same goal as her,  which is “to grow and accommodate the industry in a segment that tends to be overlooked, such as the women’s segment,” and not just use a sponsor for the sole purpose of branding.
