Hey All,

Here is the new 2009 KH Factory Team line-up:

Max Schultz (USA)
Adrien Delecroix (FR)
Christian Huriwai (NZ)
Dan Heaton (USA)
Spencer Hochberg (USA)
David Weichenberger (Austria)
Kelly Hickman (USA)
Pedro Tejada (Brazil)

Kelly & David, welcome back. Shaun, Kevin, Luke, Cecelina, Amanda, and Fredrik have retired off the team but thanks again to them for a great season last year.

All of these riders really need no introduction. It was tough to pick a team with good riding & people skills and that also represents different riding styles and places in the world. As before, the team focuses on technical riders. The Evolution of Balance award represents KHU's support of endurance-oriented muni riding.

It's great to have Dan on the team for the first time after all these years of riding and collaborating together on films. As you know he's had a strong Summer & Fall as a major face of Columbia Clothing's Fall ad campaign. It's also cool to have new talent with Max & Christian, and Pedro as the world's first South American rider to receive sponsorship. Hopefully that helps grow the uni scene a bit more in Brazil. And with Adrien I'm really happy to help support a French rider of that calibre. Kelly is going to continue to represent KHU with strong street riding, and I think that David has some big muni plans for next year.

So congrats to everyone! Thanks also to everyone else who applied.

Kris
