Limited Edition Canvas Print of Paul Basagoitia Up for Auction

Following a major spine injury at this year's Red Bull Rampage event, support for Paul Basagoitia continues to grow. Here's an opportunity to help out by bidding on an incredible print of Paul riding by photographer Justin Olsen. Justin and Scott share some words on the print below.

This auction is being offered by Photographer Justin Olsen in partnership with Scott Sports to help raise funds for professional mountain bike athlete Paul Basagoitia. Paul was recently injured in competition, and is making his way through a long and costly recovery process.

This image originally appeared in BIKE Magazine, and was Paul's first two page photo spread. It was captured by photographer Justin Olsen during production of the mountain bike film "Where The Trail Ends" by Freeride Entertainment / Red Bull Media House.

The image appearing in the magazine was a milestone in Paul's career, and as such has sentimental value to him. Only two prints have been made of this image. The auction winner will hold one, and the other one will be delivered directly to Paul Basagoitia upon the completion of the auction.

This print is offered as a stretched canvas gallery wrap, and is ready to hang on the wall as is. No frame needed!

All proceeds will be donated directly to Paul Basagoitia's Road to Recovery Fund.

"Paul is part of the SCOTT family and we’re pleased to help Justin with this auction," said Zack Vestal, Bike Marketing Manager. "Justin came to us with the concept and we had no hesitation in covering his production costs." Vestal continued, “We will be supporting Paul in this way and in a number of ways not always visible to the public. He’s important to us of course as a rider and also as a representative of our brand and what we stand for."

If you have ever been inspired by Paul's riding we encourage you to bid on this print. This is an opportunity to share an extremely limited piece of mountain bike artwork with the pictured rider!
