Rocket Science Supports Wounded Warriors

Austin, Texas, April 26, 2009 – Rocket Science Sports Equips Wounded Warriors For Capital of Texas Triathlon

Rocket Science Sports, a triathlon clothing and equipment manufacturer will equip wounded veterans from the Wounded Warrior Project with wetsuits at this year’s Capital of Texas Triathlon which takes place on Memorial Day, May 25th 2009.

This will enable our Wounded Warriors to participate in the Capital of Texas Triathlon and showcase their "abilities" not the “disability" said Kirk Bauer, executive director of Disabled Sports USA and a disabled Vietnam veteran.

To be able to support the wounded veterans on Memorial Day punctuates the meaning of what they have willfully offered in the service of our country as we honor those who have fallen at their side” continued Darren. “I encourage the community to come out to support our heroes and the Wounded Warriors Project”.

Company/Product Updates

I wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on with Rocket Science Sports lately. We have a lot of very exciting things happening! Oh, and before I forget to tell you, Rocket Science Sports is now on Twitter as RktScienceSport

Swim products:
We have developed some new swim skins to be submitted to FINA for approval according to the newest guidelines. These suits have been tweaked for fit and we are confident that as with everything else we develop, they will be the top performing products in their category. Additionally we will be expanding our swimsuit line for both training and competition, so hold on to your hats and stay tuned! Other products are on the way too, perhaps some new categories? I might tell... then again, maybe you'll just have to see for yourself. :) For inquiries about team/club sales and dealer sales please contact Sales@RocketScienceSports.com



Triathlon/Cycling products:
As many of you know, due to popular demand our Rocket Bags and some of our Elite red/black bags are sold out. We have been focusing all our resources on to getting the most popular triathlon/cycling bags on the market back in stock. Mark your calendars for the end of April as when we will have full stock again. So you know, the Elite bag in red/black will now be all black. Until the end of April, there are still a few bicycle retailers who may have a couple left, but I know these may be hard to find. If anyone has seen any on the shelves, please post a comment as to which bag you've seen and at what store. I personally have seen a couple Elite red/black bags and a Rocket bag at Bicycle Sport Shop in Austin.

Our totally new, completely redesigned '09 wetsuits will hit the shelves by the end of April. From the number of panels and thickness variation for flexibility, to fit, and a new proprietary material being used to improve buoyancy beyond anything the industry has ever seen, our suits are aiming to please. The only way this can be done is to come up with designs and materials that are truly unique, and we have done that for all 3 levels of our wetsuits! It IS rocket science!

Events:
Rocket Science Sports will be one of the primary sponsors of the Capital of Texas Triathlon which takes place in our beloved home town of Austin Texas on Memorial Day, May 24-25th. We will be supporting the Wounded Warrior Project by supplying wetsuits to the wounded veterans participating in the event. I had the opportunity to meet some of the veterans taking part in the project at a recent Soldier Ride. It was truly inspirational! Saul Raisin was on hand to support them. Most people don't know that Saul is in training to do his first IronMan this year! Go Saul!


Product Reviews
20 oz. Rocket Bottle:
I recently met a great guy named Scott Place through Facebook. He is writing for Endurance Magazine which is a premier resource for active lifestyles in the Carolinas and is training hard to start road racing. We sent him a couple of our Rocket Bottles to review and he posted them on his blog Still Uphill. Scott's blog is about his newly found life of road racing being mixed with a full time job and 5 kids, and starting at age 46! Better late than never! Welcome to road racing brother of the asphalt!
For additional tech about our Rocket Bottle, visit our website R&D page.


We were contacted by ISM (makers of saddles like the Adamo) who while doing wind tunnel testing on their new rear mount hydration system called QuickDraw, discovered that our bottle made the biggest difference in drag reduction. Their design already reduces drag over other models with its unique positioning, but our bottle just made it that much better! I like the additional benefit of their design that allows you to draw your Rocket Bottle without coming out of your aero position.


Rocket SL Wetsuit:
Triathlete/Inside Triathlon talks tech about our top of the line Rocket SL Wetsuit

Real Joe/Real Jane Wetsuit
Triathlete/Inside Triathlon gives the lowdown on our entry level RJ Wetsuit. I'd like to add that our proprietary BLT panels are included on this entry level RJ model as well, giving it unparalleled buoyancy over anything else on the market.

Rocket Skin:
Beginner Triathlete did a video gear review of our Rocket Skin suit. This suit is used in place of a wetsuit for non-wetsuit legal races. It is USAT approved for non-wetsuit legal competition and is the only swim skin that was ruled out as being too fast for FINA!


For all product inquires please contact us at Sales@RocketScienceSports.com
Cheers!

Rocket Science Sports Expands Sales Force

Multisport product manufacturer Rocket Science Sports is quickly expanding its coverage with the addition of outside sales representatives in new areas.

Jim Yeager and his group at Marathon Sports Agency have picked up states along the east coast from Maine through Pennsylvania, while Marc Katz picks up the Carolinas, Georgia, down through Florida. On the west coast Edy Kishinevsky is overseeing California up through Washington and B.C.

The new representatives for Rocket Science Sports join an already established Rusty Thompson of Herb Thompson and Associates Inc. covering Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas and Dave Drives in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois.

“Due to the increase in dealer inquiries we’ve been receiving from around the country Rocket Science Sports has been actively seeking rep coverage in all areas” says Darren Zielinski, VP of Sales and Marketing. “It is our intention to have all major regions covered by this summer in order to better serve the quickly growing list of retailers” Darren continued.

Additionally, Rocket Science Sports is pleased to announce that they have filled the position of National Swim Sales Manager. “Kelvin Koch comes to us with a great amount of experience ranging from coaching to sales within the swim industry. He is well known amongst swim retailers and coaches and has a lot to add to our team” adds Darren.

Rocket Science Sports has made an explosive entry into the swim industry with their Rocket Skin Suit, originally designed and USAT approved for non-wetsuit legal races. After being submitted and approved by FINA last September, the company was propelled into the spotlight amidst all the controversy surrounding their newly approved product which was the first long sleeve of its type to be approved for swim competition. Training swim suits for men and women are already a part of their product line as well as a new sleeveless version of the Rocket Skin.
