Jamis/Covert rider Kenny Burt finishes season on the podium.

Northvale NJ., September 2008 - Just coming off of his Nevada State XC Championship, Jamis Covert rider Kenny Burt finished out the season on the podium at the National Mountain Bike Series Finals in Brian Head Utah.

Kenny was riding a new Jamis XCT 5 travel prototype and finished 2nd overall in the Pro mens Super D event, allowing him to move into 3rd overall in the national series standings.

The course started at 11,000 feet elevation and was a technical mix of single and high speed fire roads. My XCT was the perfect bike for the course, 5 of travel and a slack headtube angle for stability. I was able to get the power to the course and keep momentum through the rough stuff! said KMB.

Kenny is a member of an elite group of riders dedicated to the Jamis Covert program. A program that provides top pros and select weekend warriors alike an opportunity to test, trash and help rework Jamis bikes to ensure they are ready for prime-time the day they roll onto the dealers floor.

Northvale NJ., May 2008 -
Jamis “Covert” racer Kenny Burt of Reno, NV got his first Pro NMBS (National Mountain Bike Series) podium of the season at round # 3 in Los Olivos, CA. Kenny, riding his XC bike a Carbon Jamis XCR Team, finished 5th in the Pro Super D.

The weather was calling for near record breaking temperatures and they were right, 102 at the start! The high temps and the dry loose trail called for complete concentration, great bike handling skills and power. Kenny finished 0.31 off of the leader and has moved to 5th place in the overall National Super D point standings.

“The bike rode perfect, it’s light, stiff and handles great at speed, I basically used my XC set up with some larger Kenda tires. I am really looking forward to the Park City race with over 1000 vertical and rougher terrain as my bikes just get better as the course gets rougher!”

With tougher more technical courses coming up, Kenny will be looking to keep climbing that podium ladder!
