Wie es scheint hat sich ein neues Team um die Hauptsponsoren GHY Bikes, Transition und DVO-Suspension formiert. Hier gibt’s das Vorstellungsvideo und die offiziellen Infos zum Team.
We are excited to introduce GHY Bikes/Transition/DVO Racing with three young, NW rippers. Dylan Brown, Josh Gibb and Bailey Villalovos will be racing Downhill, Slalom, and Enduro in 2016. Jason Gibb will be managing the team with Jerry Villalovos turning the wrenches.
Josh Gibb – 18 Redmond, WA
Josh had a solid season at the National Pro GRT series in 2015 in JR Ex with a 9th at Snowshoe and 13th at Port Angeles. Josh stood on the top step at both NW Cup stops at Stevens Pass and had two more top 4 finishes in the NW Cup, securing runner-up in the points. Josh is known for his hardtail skills and did not disappoint in 2015. He pulled a 2nd in Slalom at National Champs at Mammoth and was the #1 qualifier at Crankworx Whistler in Slalom, finishing 2nd. Josh will be racing DH, Enduro, and Slalom in 2016.
