Xtreme Sports ID co-founder's, Bryan Console & Bradley Carter, were quoted as saying, "We are very honored to be working with George. He recognizes our product's value and realizes it can help save lives." George Hincapie stated, I've been in enough situations to understand the value of having my emergency contact and medical information immediately available. In an emergency, time matters. Xtreme Sports ID provides critical information to anyone assisting me by dialing the phone number on the wristband. Knowing it comes in kids sizes, as a father, gives me a little extra peace of mind. This product can benefit anyone, not just athletes, and should be worn by everyone." Each Xtreme Sports ID® wristband carries a medical symbol, toll-free telephone number and a unique ID number. A purchaser registers on the web site and creates their ID record. In an emergency, first responders dial the 800# and follow the prompts to access vital information such as name, address, emergency contacts, medical provider, medical conditions, allergies, medications, etc. This patent pending technology is unique to Xtreme Sports ID. The innovative "where am I" feature also allows a person to record their plans and sends an e-mail to three personal contacts each time it is updated. The Xtreme Sports ID bracelet retails for only $8, which includes one full year of coverage and can be renewed for $5. The all-weather silicone wristband is available for purchase online @ www.xtremesportsid.com and also at select retailers across the country. The company's slogan is simple-"Never Go Out Alone". Look for George wearing his Xtreme Sports ID® starting with the Tour Down Under in January 2009. |
