With several new world class Tom Ritzenthaler built or inspired tracks around the country and in conjunction with Pro Gate systems, which the majority of clubs now have, New Zealand is building some great assets for the sports riders, which I am sure will show itself, none more so, than at the world championships that will be held here in 2013.

Finally I would like to say that my dealings with Pierce Barker and his Pro Gate team has, been and will continue to be, a great experience.  As a race commentator, I travel to most of the events each season around the country and I know a lot of people.  I have not heard one negative thing said regarding Pro Gate, from any individual or club officials in their dealings over their purchases from the Pro Gate/ Prostuff company.  If there have been any issues with the gear, Pro Gate have “put it right”, no questions asked and that’s all I can ask as a representative of their product.

So in conclusion, Pro Gate have good market share here in New Zealand with their one, two and eight man start gates.  This is a good thing as when events are held throughout the country, one club will often ask another neighboring club to bring their Pro Gate equipment to the race meeting as a backup, just in case of any failure.  This is helping to future proof our sport and the respect that the customer “the rider” has when a club has the best start gate, is immense.

I have no hesitation in my recommending Pierce Barker or his company to any potential customer or individual.  I have to utmost respect for this man and what he has contributed to the sport, his business and some of the lucky athletes who gain his further support.
