éclat is proud to announce the addition of Sean Burns to the team roster. Sean joins Chester Blacksmith and Ashely Charles on éclat, and has been riding select components from éclat for the past two months. "Loving the éclat cranks," said Sean just this week. Yup, éclat's range is holding up to even Sean Burns.

Burns calls Pembroke, Massachusetts home, and also rides for Metal Bikes, Bonedeth Products, DuFFs Shoes, Kill City Jeans, Whipperman Chains and Dick Maul's Bike Shop. Needless to say, we're psyched to have him on board and to finally get the official word out.
éclat will be announcing several more additions to the team over the next few months, and will also be working with Sean on a line of signature t-shirts and components. 

DK Bicycle Company is proud to welcome Canadian Drew Bezanson to our professional team. Drew hails from Truro, Nova Scotia and is 19 years old. He is an amazing all-around rider that excels at both park riding and street.

TM Zack Yankush had this to say “We first learned about Bezanson through John at Ryder Distribution in Canada 5 years ago. John warned us to be on the lookout for Drew and he wasn’t kidding. Complete and utter shredder. My jaw dropped watching him ride at the Toronto BMX jam a few years back when he trucked into an 8 foot quarterpipe! It only took 5 years but now we’ve got a DK under him. Drew is a great kid that never seems to stop smiling. We like that. It also doesn’t hurt that Drew is one of the most naturally talented BMX riders on the planet. On behalf of DK…welcome to the team Drew.”
