The wait is over! American BMX freestyle rider and Olympian Perris Benegas has joined team Haro! Perris writes:
I’m so happy to announce that I’m now riding for @harobmx! The words Honored and Excited can’t even describe how I feel about being part of such an amazing brand and a team full of legends. We have so much already planned for 2022 and I can’t wait to share all this with you guys!
I’m really excited about this. Being the first female freestyle rider on the HARO Pro Team is an honor. I feel HARO is a great fit for me and I’m looking forward to a great 2022!!
We reached out to some key Haro figures for some additional words and feelings about Perris joining this OG company.
“Perris joining the Haro Pro Team makes a lot of sense!! There’s a very long line of park shredders in Haro’s history, and Perris is no exception! She obviously has the skills to validate her spot on the team, but off the bike, she’s personable, friendly, fun, and professional, and that goes a long way with being able to mesh with the existing riders on the team. Perris kicks ass, Haro kicks ass, and combining the two kicks a tremendous amount of ass!! Welcome to the team Perris! Can’t wait to see you kick more ass in the future!!!” – Ryan Nyquist
“Amazing news to hear Perris is on team Haro, such a perfect fit. Can’t wait to see everything she has planned for 22! Exciting times ahead! Congrats Perris! ?❤️” – Ellie Chew
“Huge congrats to Perris for scoring a spot on the Team! She absolutely kills it on a bike. Off the bike, she’s a super cool, all around good person, and great representative for the brand! Hyped for her, and stoked to say Welcome to the Team Perris!” – Mike Gray
“We are SO stoked that Perris is riding for Team HARO! Perris is one of the most powerful female riders in freestyle BMX. She’s kind, humble, cool, and beautiful through and through. It’s an absolute honor to be riding for the same team as her. Perris is truly a role model for women and girls in BMX. Directly from Keir ???? Perris is really cool, really kind, strong and I’m excited to be on the same TEAM as her.” – Keir & Tamsan Sirlin
