Joyride WAS BORN to make your job easier
We’ve been in that awkward place…
You’ve ordered the team apparel and things go wrong. Especially when dealing with places far away.
We’re local. We’re engaged in the sport. So we care about our reputation and getting things right
James & Marc’s skill combo created Joyride Apparel
They are active fanatics, with a core value of helping local athletes achieve their goals by delivering truly innovative gear on time and on spec.
“Because they are local and engaged in the sport, they give more f***s about getting things right”
— Alex Mann, Club Member
James Mander
James Mander became frustrated that he couldn’t get the team gear he wanted, how he wanted it, and when he wanted it. Roadblock after roadblock. It was stuffing up team performance, and got to the point where it was affecting his sleep!
Then James realised that if he had this issue, then others did too.
Being a former aircraft engineer, he had key knowledge on how to deliver products reliably, so that they would arrive on time, and to strict specifications.
Marc Prutton
In 2013 he teamed up with fellow Christchurchian Marc Prutton, an elite cyclist and professional coach.
Marc knows precisely how to boost an athlete’s performance with clothing. He knew that New Zealand needed custom apparel that really performs.
