Ben Hucke has officially parted ways with longtime sponsor Haro Bikes. Here's what he had to say about this:

"I want to thank everyone at Haro for the good times over the past years. They've done a lot for me and I have a lot of respect for that. However, I'm looking forward to moving on, having fun, and doing my thing. I haven't made any concrete plans; just taking it as it comes for now. Anyone want to go ride?"

Allan Cooke, Haro brand manager, had this to say about Ben's departure:

"I'm sad to see Ben go, but he's got to do whatever puts a smile on his face. Thanks for everything Ben, and let us know if you ever need anything!"

MacNeil has announced that they will no longer be making flatland products for 2010. Here's what they had to say on their site:

"...we will not be continuing to make flatland products in 2010. We had a blast creating a unique line of parts with Travis (Collier), but we feel at this time it’s best to let the flatland world move in the direction it wants to go, while we move in ours."

Stranger Bikes?

I'm assuming Stranger Bikes will officially be dropping very soon, but here's what we currently know. Rich Hirsch is the guy in charge. The site (http://www.strangerbmx.com) features a clip of Caleb Quanbeck doing a really long nose wheelie. That makes it safe to assume Caleb is no longer getting hooked up by Subrosa and is now riding for Stranger. Also, Shawn "Shitty' McIntosh recently verified that he is riding for Stranger. We'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Big news - Blackout is now the exclusive distributor of Terrible One! Here's what Zack Phillips @ Blackout had to say about this:

"We have been friends with Joe since before T1 started, and everyone at Blackout is very enthusiastic about distributing and supporting T1. All the while helping them to continue their growth as one of the most sought after and respected brands in the BMX industry. They have a number of new exciting products in the works that both new riders, and riders that were around at the beginning of the brand will enjoy. We are fully dedicated to doing the best job we can in supporting Terrible One, and will strive to have a consistently growing inventory of T1 products available for shops and riders alike.
 
We are proud to say that we just received our first of many shipments today.  We currently have the Joe Rich designed T1 Grips in stock, and are awaiting the arrival of their soft goods line including t-shirts and sweatshirts in the near future. We are expecting our first shipment of new frames, bars, sprockets, and the long awaited Cyclops Stem in early spring.
 
We are very excited and looking forward to a long term relationship with T1."
