Got to love the new Avid Brakes... looking good!

Rock Shox is coming on strong, love the valve to bleed the fork instead of taking the thing apart!

I've thrown you a bone. :lol: You want the whole carcass and I'm not at liberty to provide it just yet.

I've spoken to Wade recently and he's back on board with Rocky. I haven't spoken to Richie recently.

so, reading between the lines, Thomas is still on and so is Wade. Princess sent off to ride the steeps with his old buddy Tippie and 'lil Pro the new Fro.

all just speculation of course.

more peripheral goodness!
I'm still not sure about the green Switch, but if you compare it to the Specialized paintjobs then it's a bewt!

I reckon the green Switch looks killer. thinking of respraying my 04 RMX a green just like it. :thepimp:

- Considering the rumours about Richie SChley - if it turns out to be true, it is what i would call "progression" (no offence or else intended!!!), but the big bucks can be made with more "hipper" riders. Dunno, maybe in the end it is all politics? Sad, true, since i really loved his "broken prelvis" thing in k1.

- The switch in kermit green is soo :drool:. the rmx is killer as well :drool: what kind of fork is the rs domain? entry-level freeride/enduro?

So no more Richie with Rocky? Wow...

I wonder where he's going.

Hey Cam...have you "not spoken" to the company that he's going to? :lol:

Thanks for all the Interbike coverage..I've been living the event vicariously through your articles, however the partying at home at night by myself is growing thin with the wife. She's not quite getting that I am pretending I am there.

If he's actually not with Rocky anymore, my first guess would be some sort of development position with Whistler. He's got name recognition, he's older and more mature, reasonably smart and has decent business sense...

...and curly hair. :lol:

You are probably right. My bet is a US based bike company has picked him up to bring a big name to their brand, and he'll shift into a more ambassador type role.

Another veteren on the Kona team would make it even stronger.

your article sure has set off the rumour mill. Look forward to 'official' news when it happens.

...are you saying then that it is the RMX that is no longer? You say that the RMX has been piloted until recently, suggesting that the Rocky boys are piloting a new rig????:idea:

That's the way I read it at first too......not about the riders, more about a new model.
