A new team announced today, featuring a couple of sender Swedes and one inimitable Italian, on Commencal bikes no less. We look forward to seeing them shred the World Cups and more!
Press Release:
HS Racing Team Together with COMMENCAL!
Take the H from HARNSTROM and the S from Suding and you have the HS Racing Team!
Already part of the COMMENCAL team last year with Exceptio Sports, Oscar had no trouble convincing Lorenzo to change his ride and now they have joined forces in this new adventure! Lorenzo said, "The bikes are beautiful, we are making great progress.” The young Swede Marcus Hansson completes the team
Having an Italian Champion and two Swedes in COMMENCAL colours is an honour for us. Via our online sales platform, the European market continues to grow and we are confident that Oscar, Lorenzo and Marcus will be wonderful ambassadors. Of course, we will be relying on them for all international events: World Cups, World Championships and more.
Welcome Oscar, Lorenzo and Marcus and good luck to all for the coming season!
Oscar: “Lorenzo and I wanted to eventually own our own World Cup team with the help of our long time partner Exceptio Sports. I rode the SUPREME last season and I’m convinced it’s one of the best bikes out there, so I was anxious to seal the deal with COMMENCAL. At the EWS in Finale Ligure (Italy) last year, we bumped into Max COMMENCAL and told him our intentions. He was interested in continuing with me and was stoked to hear Lorenzo was joining in. COMMENCAL’s support then put us in the position of building a professional program for 2015. It’s a dream come true signing with such a cool brand for the next two years!"
Lorenzo: “After a rather crappy period last year after my accident, Oscar and I picked up where we left off 2013, and put the team back together. He flew over from Sweden to race the EWS in Finale with me and after an epic weekend of riding, beach time and party, we met Max COMMENCAL. He was super cool, offered us a beer and showed interest. Oscar told me about how good he felt on the SUPREME last season, so I couldn’t wait to have a go on one. Riding it on my home track in Pila, I felt the bike suited me perfectly! I’m pumped to see where it will take me."
Marcus: “My name is Marcus Hansson, I’m 19 and from Sweden. I was into racing road bikes and MX, but was enlightened by DH! I’m stoked HS Racing took me onto the team. They have a sick program that will help me express my best at World Cups. We’re testing in San Remo (Italy) and the bikes are fantastic!”
Looks like Scott will maintain a strong freeride squad for 2015!
Press Release:
Salt Lake City, Utah, March 5, 2015—After strong work during the 2014 riding season, Scott Sports is happy to announce that top American freeriders Paul Basagoitia, Kyle Jameson, and KC Deane are returning to ride Scott bikes again in 2015. The three North American riders complement Scott’s existing European roster, which includes Nico Vink, Louis Reboul, and Xavier Pasamonte. Taken together, this diverse team will constitute a formidable presence in global events like the FMB World Tour and the FEST series, as well as in photo shoots and video edits around the world.
Pal Bas sending it:
"Yo man, I'm Kyle J, I love this shit!" - Kranked 8
KC Deane gets rowdy:
"We’re stoked to get all these guys back on our bikes for the upcoming season,” said Nic Sims, Scott Sports USA Marketing Director. “They each bring something unique to the program,” said Sims. “Paul Bas is a legend and he’s growing his video production capability. Kyle rode a clean run in the Rampage last fall, he shot a number of edits, and he gets more visibility with each season. And KC is one of our unique crossover athletes – he rides dirt in summer, and snow in winter,” added Sims.
After his long career as a professional rider, Reno, NV-based 2nd year Scott athlete Paul Bas is building his resume as a filmmaker as well. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy a good competition every now and then. He was the first person to win back-to-back Crankworx Slopestyle events, in Whistler during 2004 and 2005. Paul took home the top spot in the Teva Mountain Games slopestyle comp in 2009 and 2010. Last October, he finished top ten in the 2014 RedBull Rampage. Paul’s edit here summarizes his season last year:
“I’m stoked to be on Scott bikes again this year,” said Paul. “Scott’s wide range of bikes suits my riding style perfectly. It will be a lot easier to meet my goals on such killer bikes!"
From Aptos, California, Kyle Jameson plans to ride all the 2015 FEST series events. In fact, he’s organizing a new FEST event in Santa Cruz, the CruzFEST in late April. He’s been featured in a number of edits including a recent trip with InFocus to Namibia.
KC is relatively new to the world of freeride. He grew up racing XC mountain bikes as a teenager, but got out of riding and pursued skiing as a primary focus. Since then, he’s traveled the world skiing, filming and shooting. As a SCOTT snowsports rider, he has been featured in many ski movies, magazines and publications. It wasn’t until 2012 that KC picked up the mountain bike again, and his progression was rapid enough to land a starting spot in the 2014 RedBull Rampage. He’s teamed up with shooter Steve Lloyd on more than one occasion, producing edits like this one:
Look for all three of these talented American athletes to push their limits on Scott Gambler downhill bikes and Scott Voltage freeride bikes in the coming season. Both bikes are new for the 2015 season. The World Cup-proven Gambler downhill rig features 210mm of travel with floating link suspension, plus adjustable BB height, head tube angle, chainstay length, and the capability to run either 26” or 27.5” wheels. The Voltage FR park bike sports selectable rear wheel travel (170mm or 190mm), adjustable head angle and chainstay length, and the ability to set up with either 26” or 27.5” wheels.

No Vinny T ?!?
Vinny-T still works part time and rides part time, as far as we know. He'll be on a Scott in 2015 though, like the ShapeRideShoot guys as well, but not full factory support.
BOOSH WHAT! Who you spy in Portugal? Well done Sir. Looks to still be VPP, But sleeker and sexier. I like that it's still hydro formed aluminum. I wonder the angles?

Picture was taken from a spanish forum, but I think this bike was also spotted in Portugal at the BikePark Ponte de Lima.
Pretty sure those pictures are from the Sant Andreu de la Barca race that is held today in Spain. The Mondraker guys are there. Here are some pictures from the pits. That m16 looks like a V10 but non carbon.

However the rear end of the Intense looks a lot like the Santa Cruz' model with carbon/aluminum frame. Like... A lot! :D
PS. this bike was stolen, so if you see it... you know what to do.
