Keen slopestyle watchers will no doubt be familiar with Lance McDermott. His trademark front-flip brought him to the world's attention at Austria's adidas Slopestyle and he's scored a number of top placings since then. He's also one of very few British riders to be a regular on the international slopestyle circuit.
Top marks, then, to Scott, which has signed Lance to its stable of "Progressive" riders alongside riders like Germany's Timo Pritzel and the US's Kyle Ebbet. The full Scott Progressive line-up goes like this:
Timo Pritzel (Germany), Mike Hopkins (Canada), René Wildhaber (Switzerland), Holger Meyer (Germany), Kyle Ebbett (US), Lance McDermott (UK), Carmine Falco (France) and Kyle Jameson (US). Scott is also sponsoring two women riders as the Contessa Progressive team - Katrina Strand and Beth Parsons, both from Canada.
