Buy Kini Red Bull Gear, Support Wings For Life
Wed, 05 Mar 2014
Unfortunately, spinal cord injuries occasionally happen when something goes tragically wrong on a motorcycle. Former 250cc Motocross World Champion Heinz Kinigadner and Red Bull have teamed up to create the Kini Red Bull Collection of high-end MX gear. Proceeds from each sale directly benefits the Wings For Life Foundation, whose mission is to find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
Heinz Kinigadner was one of the top riders in the Motocross Grand Prix World Championships during the mid-1980s. He was the F.I.M. 250cc Motocross World Champion in 1984 and 1985 while riding for the KTM factory racing team. After his motocross career, Kinigadner began competing in off road races such as the Paris to Dakar and Incas rallies. Being the first Austrian World Motocross Champion, racing on the Austrian KTM, made him a national hero in his home country. His reputation allowed him to be the first motocross rider to be sponsored by Red Bull.
Heinz’s brother Hans had an accident in 1984, and his son Hannes also came off his bike in 2003. Both injured their spine and are paraplegic. After his son’s injury Mr. Kinigadner and the owner of Red Bull decided to create the “Wings For Life Foundation.” The Kini Red Bull collection is one of the very few ways that retailers and consumers can purchase casual wear featuring the Red Bull logo. The premium priced gear will be limited in availability, with high end materials and construction.
