Both American adidas and SPLIT USA have pulled their sponsorship effort in BMX. This leaves riders such as
Josh Harrington (adidas-Split) and
Ryan Nyquist (adidas-Split) without the extra pay-check. Split rider Josh Heino also lost his ride at Wethepeople and Aussie Colin McKay had to deal with sponsor problems with Huffy and Osiris.
On brighter sponsorship news, Adam Banton is riding for Eastern Bikes, Bob Scerbo is riding Lotek shoes and Nina Buitrago and Stacey Mulligan are getting kicks from Etnies.
