quotes and Alan Hepburn, Adam Brayton, MatejCharvat, Kevn Landry, a few national level teams and a whole load of up and comer super groms... Banshee focuses on the young talent with huge potential to help them reach their goals... Mike reached some of his goals and picked up a big money sponsor, and we are happy for him... he is an increabile talent and I hope he has the career he deserves.

quotes Pip hasn't been with Banshee for almost 6 years. Banshee is a much smaller company than most people realize. We focus on up and coming riders more than top level pros as we feel it gives more to the sport, and we are far too small to afford top guys.

quotes I wouldn't say we have lost them, I'd say we had helped them develop their career to the point where Banshee couldn't afford to keep them, remember that Banshee is a very small company.. It is bitter sweet for us, obviously we will miss having these guys on our bikes a lot, but we are also happy to see them doing so well.

quotes He definitely didn't ditch Banshee. He just got offered a contract with another brand that he couldn't refuse, and that we at Banshee couldn't match.

quotes Oh we will. Fogel is a great guy and has been a fantastic ambasador for Banshee... he will be missed. We'd keep him if we could afford him! haha. We have parted on very good terms, and he knows that if he ever needs a sponsor in the future that he will be welcome back any time.

quotes Mike and Jack have both moved on to big money sponsors, and at Banshee as much as we will miss them riding for us, we are happy that we have in some way helped them progress their careers. We like to help the up and comers with huge talent and potential, and will continue to do so.

ok, thanks keith, just got the bad news from him that the Wildcard isnt available any more Frown Well, I guess I'll just get a scythe instead. I read the "about" on the scythe, and using a shorter shock seems like the perfect thing to do. You should add that possibility to the geometry page, since nobody knows about that feature.

So in theory... it might be possible to bolt the rear end of one bike to the front end of another and have some sorta franken-bike? Obviously suspension would be all screwed up afterwards... but still.

Are the bearings/bushing/etc on Banshee's the same throughout the lineup or do different bikes have different types and sizes?
