Zak Earley was presented with a new opportunity and will no longer be riding for Tree. We had a great time with Zak, from watching him do his first rail on the first Tree trip we took him on to Canada about 4 years ago, to just hanging out and talking at Denny's at Interbike 2010. On the bike and off the bike has been awesome. Here's what he has to say."Recently I had to make a really hard decision and that was to leave tree bicycle company. I have nothing but respect for everyone at tree and can't thank them enough for all of the awesome trips and good times. Although I will not officially be riding for tree in 2011 everyone at tree are still my good friends and I am not leaving on bad terms by any means. I just want to thank Sam, Nathan, Andy and everyone else that's been apart of tree for being so awesome and supporting me these past years."
