^They have a junior team or at least that one fast kid.
Orange changed ownership recently to founder Steve Wade's nephew Ash Ball, who has owned the sheet metal manufacturing business and framebuilding partner of Orange since 2001- http://dirtmountainbike.com/news/new-owner-at-orange-bikes-keeping-it-in-the-family.html#I8RVrXokEeC3iSee.97
Phil Atwill quickly became my new favorite rider to watch shred this season and the team produced some of the most entertaining edits as well, here are my favorites:
Alpine Drifting-
Dirt/Orange Schladming- http://mpora.com/videos/AAe4btisht4b#4S6qlxwZ2epE53aL.97
Phil Atwill, Orange Five-
Phil Atwill, Railin' not Snailin':

Somewhere between the flex of the wheel and the swingarm lies the explanation for is rather tense facial expression while riding.
WHOA! That's a big move for them. Seems like a lot of medium yupean brands are going for the big league.
That puckered facial expression screams "Luvs back wheel"Somewhere between the flex of the wheel and the swingarm lies the explanation for is rather tense facial expression while riding.
I thought that actually accounted for half the rear suspension's travel...Somewhere between the flex of the wheel and the swingarm lies the explanation for is rather tense facial expression while riding.
GT is now full of Wyn.

Beerten off spec. Who are the big new 'duro guns going to be on S?
Well, this will escalate quickly...
I bet GT let the Athertons go because they couldn't afford their combined dental plan and tooth paste/dental floss monthly expenses.
hell yeah that's a sick team!!

Always liked him, glad he's back racing.
Also The Athertons leaving GT seems to have freed up a shitload of cash for them. Will be good to see some GT edits with fun riding and less scowling in them
Trek edits have never been fun.
not technically a trek edit butTrek edits have never been fun.

this little segment from back when Aaron was winning for them is still one of the best team video segments ever. I couldn't get it to embed the trim, so it starts at 10:25 if anyone wants to seeTrek edits have never been fun.
I sooooo miss the Earthed vids. Shaky camera, raw riding, good times....and always the guy with the second camera standing in the frame.
This comes pretty close.
Speaking of Brannigan, any word on where he ends up?
Watching the segment of Gwin in the old TWR vid I still think Gwin looked the best on the Session. So composed. Hoverstyle.
Kind of like Hill on his Sunday. Perfect match paired with peak of form.

Right, but with margins of 7+ seconds and he didn't even need to start at the last race of the season back in 2012.
Oh yeah, there's always one counter-example! Nice.
that huge cloud of dust at his 2:21 crash covered us all in dirt. i swear we could hear his thud when he hit the berm after his first crash
And is from Sram
meanwhile, richie all over on his yeti.
So if Graves goes to Derpalized, will an Enduro rider finally win an Enduro race on an Enduro? Mite have to put on some extra pairs of goggles if that happens.
