First Photo: Nic Long Suits Up For Next Chapter

Tuesday night, BMXNEWS broke the story that Nic Long had been released from his contract with Intense BMX “so he could pursue other opportunities.” At the time the story was posted, it was not officially clear where those other opportunities might lie. Not long after the story was posted, a thread on Vintage was posted asking for more information. There, Haro TM Derek Betcher posted the following as the company’s official release on the subject: “Allan Cooke and I are proud to welcome Nic Long to the Haro family.”

Yesterday, Nic posted on his Facebook wall saying “another page turns tomorrow in my life story and I’m so stoked!” BMXNEWS was not able to catch up with Nic for any official comments, but we imagine the above sums it up what he might have said pretty well.

Though not coming to you as part of an interview, we thought you would enjoy seeing this first photo of Nic in his Haro/Rockstar gear and glimpse his new ride. More to come next week from the ABA Midwest Nationals.

Thanks to Derek Betcher for the photo
