Another also very valuable team rider is Lewis Crathern.
His riding, his coaching and his promotions in schools and universities are excellent.

There is no Cabrinha North connection.
Pete and his team are laughing a lot about this.
Had a personal chat at the big demo in Germany few weeks ago.

No connection? except what seemed key people are now at North. Strange Cabrinha would dump their main designer? Laughing? I thought Cab was doing well, clearing house does not indicate so.

Word is they are facing many problems.

That’s interesting...for me one of the most valuable pros...
How so?
Also, wait for an announcement of him joining the new north.
Nick strikes me as one of those rare athletes who doesn't take himself too seriously but is still one of the best in the style of big air. Humility, talent, and an all-around great guy. Im thinking he will probably end up with North Technology Group. Only time will tell. Wishing him all the best and whoever he goes with he will bring great things.

'With great regret we inform him leaving Cab' and that's it?

Seems to me that is not an accurate quote. This is:
“ALOHA NICK JACOBSEN
It’s with regret that we will be ending our sponsorship of Nick Jacobsen this week.
We wish Nick all the best in his new endeavors.”

Good for NJ who is possibly the most valuable pro name out there in terms of marketability.

He’s a regular at spots around Copenhagen when he’s not travelling and I can confirm he is one of the most down to earth and approachable people you will ever meet. Just a cool dude. Period.
