Natalie has a contract with Fox Shocks already so dont see that happening. And I am not sure what you mean by will he be like Jones or Farr.

The GNCC covergae said he signed a contract with Roll Design and Elka. Unless this, what I consider credible source ,the site admin. is wrong Natalie will be riding with Elka's and Roll Designs.

John signed with IMS/Roll Design and Elka for 2006.

And I'm sure it was the best set up he has ever ridden. But that might change with the Roll Design/Elka set up. He probably has to say that too since he was sponsored by them.

It's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Anyone could make the best if the price was right.

The Pro's run what they are paid to run.......or whichever company gives them the best deal. Don't base what you buy on what the Pro's use........it makes more sense to look at what the A and Pro-Am racers run than anything - since alot of them still have to buy their stuff........since they are spending their money, they will be alot more concerned with whether or not they are getting a good product.....imo.

I bet there are less than 10 riders on this site that can utilize the differences in a Roll Design/Elka setup over a Gibson/Fox setup.

What you buy is not what the pro's are running anyways. Its what will be out next year.

That's the truth...most novice riders couldn't notice the difference in Long travel or standard...I know I didn't

it makes sense to some extent but if you think about it, you should want to run what the pro's have because that is the same stuff that they perfom on, now if it's the best they'll say whatever they are sponsored by is the best but there are many different set-ups that the pro's use and all the top of the line ones should work equally well

Yeah Natalie will be running Elka and Roll. I'll be going up to East Coast Atv this weekend talking to Dave Gibson. I'll check to see if any of his 06 quads are in the back. I think the front end that Byrd is running is sick! Walsh a-arms with the new axis shocks. I think the new axis shocks will handel far better then then any other shock on the market.

400grl, you are absolutely, 100% correct on this one. they use and support who ever is sponsoring them, its called BEING SPONSORED. Whoever gives them the best deal is what they ride. What races they race, what classes they race, what parts on the bike so on and so on.

yeah that is true but also look at how many pros use what bran because obviously at their caliber they can get any set-up they want so what they choose has to perfom well too

If you think about it, Natalie already got the name out there for fox. Plus Rico told me that Roll was paying him 50g a year to run thier stuff. If someone pays me that kind of money I will say and run what ever they want me too.
Like 400grl said look at what A class riders are running. You will see alot of different set there, but you have to remember that alot of those a class riders are getting big discounts on parts as well.

there is no way their paying him that much! Factory Yamaha rider Bill Ballance just broke the 100k a year mark and thats for a full factory ride, not just a pair of shocks. You may be right, but that's incredible if you are! :eek:

It is offical.. John is riding elka, roll. he was paid by elka $100K to do it. Good for John. The only catch is elka is the only one who can work on his shocks... That will suck. They can build the shocks but have no idea how to set them up.. I am sure they will figure it out... The IMS, Elka, roll team will be as followed:

John GNC
Yok GNCC
Chislock BITID
and a few more...

Elka setup Dougs and JJ's shocks at GNC and they have good luck with them. Noleen does the a-arms and Elka does the shocks, seems to work really good. for doug and JJ. Elka dosnt have valving problems at all, they just do so many shocks there sometimes off , if PEP or axis did as many shocks as elka they would be a little off to. If elka takes there time like PEP or axis they would be just as good if not better. Johns setup will be dialed in perfect , dont worry it wont effect his riding.

Walsh does their a-arms and swingarms and noleen tunes their shocks.
