Win A Custom "CHRIS BLAIS" Man and Machine/Concept 2 rower

Train on the ultimate motocross training system while dreaming of racing the Paris to Dakar Rally on this autographed Chris Blais Works Edition Transformx Endurance System! 100% of the proceeds from this auction are going to help injured riders and their families through the RiderDown Foundation. For more information on the RiderDown Foundation and the charitable work it is doing visit www.RiderDown.org.

Transformx Endurance Systems made by Man and Machine, LLC are currently used by some of the worlds fastest motocross athletes to amplify their talent by increasing overall strength, speed, reaction time, balance and cardio conditioning.

The Transformx Endurance System is based on the Concept2 Indoor Rower which has set the standard by which all other rowing machines are measured. With unrivaled function, durability, customer service, and post-sale support, Concept2 Indoor Rowers are the machine of choice for people and athletes of all ages and ability. More than 30 years of creating innovative products have made Concept2 Indoor Rowers the best-selling rowing machines in the world. With the modifications and accessories added by Man and Machine, LLC this rower is one incredible motocross training machine. Man and Machine, LLC is the home of Transformx Endurance Systems. Transformx is a functional fitness system designed to elevate athletic performance for action sports (motocross, off road racers, snowcross, etc.).

What you get:
Collapsible TX-3R TransforMX Endurance bar with shifter push-up/pull-up transmission. Removable Generation 3 Push-up/Pull-up Skidplate, folding bar ends and carrying case (fully compatible with CONCEPT2 rowing machines, endurance bands and universal type strength trainers). Triad endurance band attachment system (connects to bands on center and ends of bar), Concept2 rower attachment and instruction manual included, endurance bands, and of course the fully customized Concept2 Model E Rower signed by Chris Blais.

There are only two of these Blais Works Edition Fitness Systems in the world, one is owned and used by Chris Blais and you are bidding on the other! Completely reworked to resemble Chris’ Red Bull KTM Paris to Dakar Rally Race Bike, this incredible workout machine has everything you need to keep you on top of your game and motivated to stay there! We are also including a RiderDown shirt, hat and supporter decals.

Man, I've been putting in a lot of meters on an older rowing machine lately and I can only dream of being on this "Factory" ride!

Hopefully, we will find the right venue & appreciative audience for this custom rower in the very near future. Due to the downturn in the economy last year and several other issues it was determined that we would be better off in waiting for the right opportunity. My hope is that we can do something yet this year and possibly in conjunction with the TT500 Project Bike and the "Chasing Dakar" books. We're always open to ideas.........

Stay tuned!!
