I know we diss manufacturers and people who do stupid **** and general asshatery, but I saw this post on Corsair's web page this morning and I couldn't think of a better way to handle the situation that they found themselves in. Wishing Pablo well and hoping they could work together in the future, same with Cam. I feel like you don't see that too often.

Taking the high road. They obviously hired someone from outside the industry to write that.

probably from outside the company too. The posts a few pages down appeared to be scribbled down by somebody whose first language was probably not english...

I just think it's noble for them to say something positive over the transition.

Racing against Pablo back in the day down logging roads and bush hogged ski runs on Super V's w/ carbon bladed wheels was truly epic.

ummm, didn't Hyper hire one of the Corasir partner/designers?

Corsair is Mike flaherty from atomlab right? If so then the class move isnt such a surprise, but still a great thing to see.

So Zink now has the odd title of riding the same frame under 3 different sponsors. It's like back in the day when everyone raced on M1s regardless of sponsor.

I know his DH rig and hardtail has changed, but his slopestyle rig was a corsair something or other whilst riding for evil and has been restickered with Hyper decals

Kind of. My understanding is that pablo left Corsair when he sold it to mike Flaherty.

It was, Mike sold it to a company in TW, per my understanding. I don't think he's involved anymore, though he still heads up atomlab. I liked dealing with mike, he sent me a whole bunch of stuff I needed for cheap or free.

Anyways, I just thought this was a nice note, since topics like the diablo-disaster get more press.
