Wish I Could would like to thank Yamaha and Xtreme Products
of West Monroe for their over and above sponsorship of the
2009 Marengo Swamp Ride.
Xtreme is a locally owned suspension company,
that specializes in 2-3” ATV/UTV lift kits, wheels,
tires and accessories.
Wish I Could spokesperson, Jamie Parks said
“Xtreme really stepped up to the plate this year,
they were among our largest sponsors.
Xtreme pulled out all the stops and provided
3 side by sides and personnel fully armed for
the recovery effort.
They gave directions, winched bikes, passed out water,
bug spray and gas free of charge to weary, lost and
stuck riders.
They worked tirelessly until the last bikes were out.
Xtreme also sold their own shirts and donated
all proceeds to Wish I Could.”
Xtreme General Manager Joe Watts said
“Xtreme found participating to be a worthwhile and
rewarding experience.” He went on to say Xtreme
has participated in the past and plans to be a regular
and ongoing sponsor.
They plan on working with Wish I Could to expand our
advertising scope, as well as get the Wish I Could story
spread to more ATV activist.
You can visit Xtreme at 403 Downing Pines Rd.
in West Monroe, LA or check them out on the web @
