Corey Martinez and Kevin Porter are no longer riding for Orchid. Here's what Orchid had to say about this:

"A big shout out to Corey Martinez and Kevin Porter for 5 great years working with Orchid Footwear. Coincidentally they’re moving on to new opportunities at the same time, both for different reasons (which I’m sure you’ll hear about soon, I’ll leave that to them to announce). 5 years is a lifetime in the bmx world, so I want to thank them for a long haul. It’s been a blast and we wish them both the very best. Even though we’ll miss working with these guys, in the long run maybe it’s a good thing for all of us. Corey and Kevin get to try something new, while Orchid will be able to do more for the current team riders and maybe even pick up some new guys. The future is cool. Here’s a couple of web videos we did with Corey and Kevin, good stuff. Thanks guys!!"
