Truckee, CA- Mountain bike footwear company Ride Concepts announces the formation of its 2019 Factory Athlete team, comprised of downhill and freeride icons Kyle Strait, Sam Pilgrim, Greg Watts and the Atherton Racing team.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Managing the team is two-time Crankworx Slopestyle champ Paul Basagoitia. \u201cWe are thrilled to announce such a solid Factory team in our first year,\u201d said Basagoitia. \u201cEach athlete has genuinely chosen Ride Concepts for footwear on and off the bike. We are making a home for athletes who lay it all on the line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strait, a two-time Red Bull Rampage champion, stated \u201cI\u2019ve had other opportunities for footwear in the past but none have excited me as much as Ride Concepts.\u201d Strait will compete in numerous disciplines at Crankworx Rotorua.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pilgrim will focus on content for his popular YouTube channel as well as putting his feet into several urban DH races. \u201cI received a message from the legend Paul B asking if I wanted to try a new brand and soon I received my new favorite riding shoe, the Wildcat,\u201d stated Pilgrim. They have the support and grip I needed with extra design features like D30 impact protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I met the Ride Concepts crew, I knew this was a rad company,\u201d said Watts. \u201cWhen passion for the sport comes before a profit, it makes for a great product. They delivered right off the get-go!” Watts will compete at all Crankworx stops and film for his web series, Watt\u2019s Happening.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, Atherton Racing- Dan, Gee, and Rachel Atherton as well as Millie Johnset and Charlie Hatton- will complete their kits with Ride Concepts footwear. Rachel has been instrumental in the development of the women\u2019s Traverse clipless model. \u201cI am so fussy about shoes, being one of only two contact points to the bike,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019ve always struggled with fit, but the Traverse fits incredibly well, requiring no \u201cquirky tricks\u201d to start shredding.\u201d The team will compete across the UCI DH World Cup Series and select Crankworx and Red Bull events.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Look for Factory Athlete signature models and colors dropping throughout the season.<\/p>\n
