Well… Here’s an announcement we don’t think anyone saw coming. Albert Mercado has decided to step away from the Kink Pro team on Instagram. Below is his statement about the decision. We’re not sure if he has a new sponsor lined up or if it was just time to pursue some new opportunities outside of BMX. We are sure we’ll still see fresh Albert footage in the future regardless.
“After almost a decade of riding for @kinkbikes the time has come for us to part ways. It’s been an amazing time riding, traveling, and hanging out with people that have become some of my lifelong friends. Unforgettable memories and friendships that can’t be rattled by life’s struggles is what I’m most grateful for. Shout out to everyone at Kink that made these years of good times possible. I couldn’t have thought of a better way to spend my time on Kink. It’s been real. On that note, It’s time to move forward and see what the world has in store for me! Thanks again Kink for everything!
