hahaahahhahaahahahaa. "Dave took all the quality staff with him when he left"

That is the most classic line I have ever read. Clueless Goon rider from the UK.

I usually don't bite into this shit...but it's funny how all the ex-riders or faux TM's outhere always have opinion.

Fact: Haro USA works off of a DOMESTIC budget...meaning, based off of sales from the USA only. It's hard to justify to the people that pay my bills why I choose to pay an AMAZINGLY TALENTED athlete that lives in the UK from a budget based off the USA sales. The plans for Ben was to have him ride the entire contest series and have him base himself out of Greenville. USA based=USA budget. For the 2nd year in a row, Ben was unable to ride out his original plans of being based out of the USA...either through injury or personal circumstances. We supported him for 2 years and it just didn't work out. I think Ben is fucking amazing, but Haro couldnt afford it. It wasn't personal at all. Shit, I am secretly stalking his lovely misses, Amy!!! They are both rad people. I am bummed about the whole thing for sure, and to have you guys add to my already bummed feeling about the whole thing sucks. It's always what you think it is...or who you can blame easiest.

And as far as DJ chiming in...kinda bummed about that as I thought we were boys. You are quick to send Christmas, Birthday and holiday wishes, but clown me on a forum? What's the deal? I forgive you bro...I know you have to stick by your fellow countrymen, but just remember there's more to BMX than sponsorship...and we all try our best. I often fail, but I'm still here and doing my best for the brand. If you guys think it's your time to shine...start in the trenches and work your ass up the ladder or shut the fuck up and keep driving nails though wood.

Yeah, Nastazio is a good choice, and Nyquist's always been a god, it just seems that Tony hires and fires riders every five minutes. Ben is the future, there aren't many riders who can do what he does. Why drop him? And what was the point in putting on the whole 'fixed from the beginning put my buddy on the team competition' if you were gonna drop him almost immediatly? Or how about dropping Darden when he wasn't doing it for you and then picking him back up as soon as he starts to get results again? Dave took all the quality staff with him when he left... didn't take Tony though...funny that. Oh, and Tony, I was on the international team, not the uk team, and I quit before you had the chance to drop me!

Tony D is a fat cock. He hasn't got a clue what he's doing.
