Klassen joins Santa Cruz


That's just silly

There's some movements in the stratified world of pro freeriding, with Tyler "Super T" Klassen signing with Santa Cruz. Klassen won Race Face's first Ultimate Freeride Challenge to secure his first deal, before going on to win nutbar Utah freeride comp the Red Bull Rampage.

He won the Rampage on a Santa Cruz V-10 and has now become the first rider to sign directly to SC. In true press release style, Santa Cruz head honch Rob Roskopp said, "What Tyler has done in just the last few months has exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with one of the world's best freeriders and we know Tyler is excited to be on bikes that can hold up to his style of riding."

Klassen will be at all of the upcoming 2003 freeride events, it says here, and he's also doing some filming for Kranked 5. Which, if this publicity shot is anything to go by, should be quite silly.
