"We were looking for a partner willing to invest in the discipline to evolve the sport, and MyWhoosh met that standard. They were willing to invest financially and dedicate resources. Not to say the others weren’t, certainly not. Everybody was willing to invest, but we felt that the investment MyWhoosh was willing to make would help legitimise and stabilise the sport for the next three years. Simple as that.”
