“I’m really excited to be working with the crew at Banshee and their Australian distributor, Dirtworks. Its really cool to be involved with a bunch of people that are really into what they do. I cant wait to get on my new Scream and Morphine bikes and give them a good thrashing! Im sure the bikes won’t complain. The other cool thing is new bikes and new sponsors mean a chance to show off some new tricks and new gaps too! I’m looking forward to getting out on my bikes!" Grant Allen was quoted from his home in Australia.”
Grant loves going big and he’ll be in good company with the likes of Josh Bender, Richard [Gaspi] Gasperotti, all RedBull Rampage Veterans.
Formerly a Kona Clump Crew team member his other current sponsors are Fox forks and shocks, Syncros tires and components, Hayes brakes, Hadley hubs and Wheelcraft wheels.
In addition to riding the Scream and Morphine, he’ll be test piloting new designs that Pippin Osborne is currently developing for the future.
Banshee spokesperson Kevin Santarossa: “Banshee Bikes is stoked that Grant Allen has come on board for 2005 and we look forward to seeing what he can do with a Scream underneath him. It’s a great match because Grant’s style of riding is exactly what a Banshee is built for. He goes big and rides hard and needs a bike that can take what he dishes out. With the addition of Grant to the Banshee team we look forward to an awesome 2005 and can’t wait to see what a rider of his caliber can throw down.”
