Former or temporary teamriders:
this was our first teamrider-gif:
2005 / 2006:
This was our first "teamrider" (we had no team at that moment yet!). David was unknown in the scene, Pierre Jambe had presented me this rock'n'roller at the first EASTPAK SUBVERT JAM (where he beat Jürgen Horrwarth and Sascha Müller in the vert eleminations!) I knew, this had to be the first SUBVERT rider. As we had no team and he always hang out with the YAMA crew, he then also rode for YAMA, which we could fully understand. ROCK AND ROLL, DAVID!
We are damn proud, that no one less than David Martelleur, europes most punkrock transition skater, became our very first teamrider! ANd he enjoyed our decks a lot: we were very surprised to see him still skating a MOHAWK deck 2 months after joining the YAMA team! He said, he waits for YAMA copying the perfect shape of the mohawk model (14.5" wheelbase)!
Alex Cochini on his first day riding SUBVERT: 2nd place Quiksilver Bowlriders (in front of TNT, Galloway, Cardone, Gireaud, Chriss Senn....(check bowlriders.com ) Of course, after that huge success, he received offers, the new and little company SUBVERT could not compete with.
