Colin Bailey
 

After a brief absence, Colin Bailey is back!  Ready to prove once again that he's on of the best American racers around!  One of the greatest American talents, Colin has been a factory racer since his young teens.  Yeti, Intense, & Maxxis, all tribute Colin to their success in DH, DS & MTX.  How many other riders can say that they designed one of the most popular DH tires around? The Maxxis Minion.

2007 was my 1st full international race season which ended well for me finishing the US season in 6th place overall, even after separating my shoulder before the final round.  I'm looking to come back to the US to race in 2008 and finish up in the top 3 for the series, and top 20 at the World Champs.

Yes THAT Gary Houseman!  It's been several years since we last saw the other half of Team Houseman.  Gary has been busy working, but was recently bitten by the racing bug & is working on getting back in the swing of things... & already has some descent results to show!

Jonty had a break-out season in '07!  No longer overshadowed by his older brother, Jonty has now made a name for himself in the world of gravity racing.  Top consistent finishes in the NMBS proved that he's an untapped talent waiting to break out in the next level!

Multi time US DH Champ & multi time NMBS winner, Duncan is one of America's few hopes in the World Cup series.  In 2007 Duncan impressed the crowd, beating a number of top World Cup riders at the Deer Valley NMBS.

Sanjay Shanbhag

 
A crowd favorite, Sanjay is one of the guys you'll always root for.  Ripping it up on the national level downhills, slicing & dicing at local slalom courses, or flipping a beach cruiser at a dirt jump contest...  Sanjay is always at the head of the action!

A sheer multi threat.  Waylon's simply a machine!  Extremely fit & talented on a bike, Waylon's been known to race Downhill, Super-D, and road in the same day!

Contact Waylon

2008 marks a fresh start for me.  I made some mistakes last season, learned from them, and now I'm determined to come back stronger, smarter, and faster than ever!  My goals are to podium at the US Open and Crankworx events, win the US National Championships in Vermont, finish top-twenty at a World Cup, and most importantly: have fun and ride to my true potential!
