Alright heres a new thread so we can get all of these rumors in one place. Lets try to get a run down and a time line as to whos ridin what as of when???

With a lil help we can get all of the top 10 guys plans for 04 on here and a pic of there quad.

I'm sure we'll have our fair share of smarty pants with funny lil jokes. I on the other hand would like to take this thing to the next level, if u have REAL info about the plans of one of our GNCC PRO's then share it on here for all to see.

Thanks
later, J

I know a few people are waiting to anounce there plans for 04. There are a couple of teams going to do so in the next couple of weeks.

SO IF HAVE INFO ON THESE TEAMS DON'T LET THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG AND MESS THINGS UP FOR THEM. IT MAY BE A BIG DEAL TO SOME PEOPLE TO HAVE AN OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE!

Jeff,

Can you describe your deal with ATK? I think it's great they are backing someone who can put the cannondales/ATK's/Dinilis up front.

Each sponsorship helps others get them too...

I am pretty sure Chad will be announcing his ride by next week. He is in CA end of week and will be back on sun. SOOOO we will make him talk! I do know his race team is AM-PRO racing with Randy Hawkins as his team manager, he will be sporting a 20 foot trailer decked out to match the Yamaha rig Randy owns(with a few different ATV sponsors,ELKA/ITP). Info tells me he has an awesome proposal going on. Hey Smokey make him talk to us next week:D

Wooooooooo Hoooo Chads out of town.. Party at the Duvals

Smokey

12-16-2003, 08:21 PM

Hey BlueFlash I am with Giff ....PARTY AT THE DUVALL'S ....I think we can get him to talk .
I know he is more pumped up and ready to get back to racing than I have ever seen him , Normally he is in Fl. before he is ready so this could be his best year yet . With the new ride and being ready this early (normally bolting a bike together the week before the heads to the first race ) , he will be doing some riding too and I think he will come out very strong .
to everyone I have heard the Smiley will be on the YFZ , Yokley will still be on The Suz. BOrich I heard will be on The YFZ too . I heard that Page is done , and from there that about all I know .....

Jeff, did you get any of those ATK quads in yet?

cdalejef

12-26-2003, 03:18 PM

It should be here the first week of January.

Dale512

12-26-2003, 05:06 PM

Any Idea if they made any changes too the plastic? Colors? I think that Baby Blue like on their Dirtbikes would look real good on a quad.

Thanks

Jeff-when you get'em in send soem pictures to Gibson400ex@aol.com my dad might want to buy one.

gibson400ex

12-26-2003, 06:01 PM

Jeff- i really want to see the video on elka suspension but it wont let me. could you post it again or somthing. is there some sort of special program i need?:confused:

cdalejef

12-26-2003, 07:30 PM

I'll be posting pics of the forums when it comes in. It will be either silver or black since ATK hasn't had any ATV plastic made yet.

Gibson, I use quicktime but you must update it to play that vid.

If you don't have highspeed connection, you will have to let that window sit there and load for a long time. The video is almost 10 minutes long. It takes about 3 minutes to load on my DSL.

Dale512

12-26-2003, 08:16 PM

Any idea if ATK is gonna make their own plastics or not? I think its kinda odd that they would for the sub-par dirtbikes, but not the excellent ATVs:o
