Jorge Botero, three times world champion and Colombian Legend has joined the POWERSLIDE/MATTER FORCE! As of June 1, 2009 Jorge Botero has officially signed with Powerslide as the SALES AND MARKETING DIRECTOR FOR THE USA.

He will be overlooking sales, marketing, product development and Team Management for the USA. Botero has great plans for the POWERSLIDE brand in the USA and will be working with the current distributors and dealers in the USA to bring POWERSLIDE/MATTER to the top of the leader board once again. Plans are already in place to bring out a new and improved indoor wheel equivalent or better than the traditional "Yellow" and "Blue" Matter wheels that were number one for years on end as well as keeping the outdoor Matter wheels at the top of their game! Look for Clinics, programs and developments to bring POWERSLIDE/MATTER to the forefront.

Jorge will be attending most major competitions, if not skating, as a demonstrator and sales leader so you will definitely see presence. Look for Botero in Peoria, Illinois, at the INDOOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in JULY competing for his home team, Stardust Speed Skating and representing POWERSLIDE/MATTER as he brings a challenge to add an Indoor National Title to his long list of accomplishments. "I am excited and ready to get going" says Botero. "I am sure that between my knowledge and experience, and the support of one of the top skating manufacturers in the world, POWERSLIDE/MATTER will dominate the skate world in the coming months!"
