Rideitout Team 2016
The Rideitout Team have made big changes for 2016. New bikes, new kit and a couple of new additions to the team. We are primed and ready for summer.
We had a pretty decent 2015 and Emyr Davies clearly made himself a force to be reckoned with on the BDS circuit and we aim to continue that trejectory for this year. We’ve made some pretty big changes for 2016 starting with a legendary British brand to roll down the hills on. The team are rocking stunning Orange 324’s as our focus is solely on Downhill. We’ve also made the move to O’Neal kit and we will be wearing their Element Gear along with their new 10 Series Lid.
The Team
We’ve shrunk our team a little this year but we have some serious quality riders who we are hoping for some top results in 2016
Alex Bond – elite
Al Bond should need little introduction. He’s the latest addition to our team and we are chuffed to have him onboard for 2016. Al really made his presence known in 2011 and continued on the up into 2012 and beyond. He’s a seasoned pro who can mix it with the best of them. We can’t wait to get him racing this season.
Emyr Davies – elite
Like Al, Ems should need little introduction. As well as being a rider who has seemingly endless talent he’s also now a bonafide celebrity. We are expecting yet more big things from him in the BDS as well as some solid results in the World Cup circus. Downhill racer extrodinare and ‘A’ list TV Celeb. Orderly queues for autographs please.
Guy Gibbs – elite
Guy has improved year on year but had a quiet one in 2015. He’s back on it for this year and with a new bike and new kit he’s feeling confident to be back in the mix.
Thomas Davies – junior
Thomas Davies is a rider on the up. Definitely one to watch after breaking into the top 10 at the last BDS at Fort William. This will be his first year riding World Cups and he is feeling confident he can qualify. Look out for him at this year WC at Fort William.
Ant Jones – senior/expert
Ant also took a bit of a hiatus in 2015 with focus on family life but is raring to get back on it this year. He’s been spending plenty of time on his BMX so we reckon he’s still got his eye in for shredding fast.
The Bike
What can we say about Orange Bikes that hasn’t already been said. Legends of the industry and a legitimate British Cycling icon, the 324 is the next step in their cycling revolution. The whole team is stoked to be riding Orange this year and getting the iconic brand some top results.
The Support
We’ve got some massive support this year from what amounts to the best brands in the industry, from forks and shocks to brake pads and everything inbetween we are going to be rocking some top kit from these guys –
Orange Bikes
Marzocchi
O’Neal
DMR
MRP
Spiral GFX
TRP Brakes
Schwalbe
RDW Brake Pads
