Just like Line. Oh wait, Line isn't downsizing and firing riders, they are "moving in a direction different from their riders". Sorry, my mistake.

Orage is famous for dumb moves and overpriced gear and a nob for a team manager

Like Trama said, NOB of a team manager.

Jamie Brandon should go back to school, get another marketing degree, and find another industry to bother people in. Such a fag.

agreed, jamie is a cock gobbler.

they dropped those riders because they had to pay schiller a ton to keep him from signing with J Lindeberg.

^ Is that legit info about Schiller and JL? it mighta been more beneficial just to let him go, and keep a few lesser known guys like Symms. I dunno though.

Symms and Turpin are not into the comp cene much so orage decided to sponce some younger ripper that can definatly get the attention in comps. The only older skier they kept is J-P who is not only a founder of the sport bnut one of the veteran that still manage to film really dope segmetn. They also have a canadian only team but I,m not sure if that was the plan. For Iannick, he moved from orage to Siver Cartel, wich is in the same "family".

Yeah John got dropped by like all of his sponsors after last year. But I bet they are all feeling like jackasses right now because he blew up. He's got a part in all the biggest movies out this year, TBC, War, and Shanghi Six. I don't think he's going amywhere. I bet he gets a bunch of new sponsors soon.
