Riders Giorgos Panagopoulos, Phil Atwill, Socratis Zotos, Marco Lamaris causing travel chaos in Athens, Greece

We are pleased to announce our team's return for 2023, with some exciting new changes to the team setup!


Team owner and lead athlete, DH legend Phil Atwill will continue to bring his unorthodox and entertaining approach to the table across every genre of riding, including World Cup DH, freeride, bmx and moto enduro.


Joining him for the second year running is first-year elite ball of energy Socratis Zotos looking to consolidate his place in world class racing for both DH and enduro.


Newly signed for 2023 is junior ripper Marco Lamaris – cool, collected and bringing all his momentum from an impressive 2022 season podium finish at the iXS DH cup in Europe.


Finally our team is rounded off once again with the street and freestyle shredder Giorgos Panagopoulos who will again be pitching his talents against the world’s best at Crankworx, as well as putting his unique style under the spotlight in several video projects.
