Harry Main Off Coyote Sports

January 3, 2016

It looks like Harry Main is clearing house with his sponsors for 2016. It was announced the other day that he had left Hyper Bicycles and Snafu, now today he announced that he has parted ways with Coyote Sports, which isn’t a complete shock since they’re the U.K distributor for Hyper Bicycles and Snafu. That leaves Monster Energy, Skullcandy, Vans and his clothing brand The Wandering. If I remember right, Harry mentioned in one of his recent Youtube videos that he’s no longer being supported by Vans either, but he’s still listed on their website at the moment. So, the question is… Who has he decided to ride for in 2016? Still no word on that one as of yet.

“So today I announce : I NO LONGER RIDE FOR COYOTE SPORTS !
Want to personally thanks Iain & Diane over at COYOTE for being absolutely awesome people, outside of the deal they were and still are my good friends and wish coyote sports all the best over the next years! Thanks for all the help guys! ”
