News just has it...After many years Jesse Richman is leaving Naish!
What’s next? Up for speculations...but one could assume...Jesse is an outstanding rider!

I also think North...the only Brand currently who would spend good money to get riders like Jesse to join their team.
At the end, it always comes down to money...which In this case is good, happy to see he can make some more money...none of these riders get rich but invest a lot of risk.
Let’s see if true

Yeah my guesses as to where he lands:
#1 - New North. Jesse and Nick would be a tough team to beat.
#2 - RRD. To be on the same team as his bro.
#3 - Ozone. They seem to be putting some big names on the roster lately.
Don't blame Jesse for leaving, you're only young once and this sport needs youth to do it at a high level professionally. Get paid while your body holds up.
Best of luck.

I doubt #2.
His brother is not as valuable as Jesse.
And pretty sure Naish offers more financial support than RRD.

I wouldn’t be so sure, they have a history of not spending g crazy moment on wages or paying more to keep riders
I guess the move to North as it puts him back together with Pat Goodman, after all Jesse used to ride cabrinha

Well, maybe not crazy like Best did ... but I guess more than RRD.
At the moment I only see Duotone strong enough to pay an ok amount...but new North even better as an investment in their future.
Should pay out more at the end then what Best did.
Duotone, Cabrinha, North will be the biggest 3 in about 2 years IMO.
