The ODI and X Fusion racing programs have agreed to form as one. This alliance has developed both programs into one well founded squad. Team ODI X Fusion is proud to announce their team line up for 2010. The roster will include Sean “Griz” McClendon, Brad Oien, JD Swanguen and Ryan Condrashoff, who will be contesting the Pro GRT championship series and competing in select international events.

Sean McClendon returning to the program after being picked up mid season in 2009 has high expectation for himself. McClendon said, “My whole life revolves around boosting the American downhill scene. For a couple of years I helped cast the media spotlight on riders from our soil and now I’m back to do-battle with them at the races. It’s a childhood dream come true to be racing for Intense and I’m really happy to be back with X-Fusion and ODI.

Brad Oien spent the off season in Australia again because he can’t get enough racing in one hemisphere. Eager for the season to come he said, “2010 is going to be a good and productive year for everyone involved with the ODI X Fusion race program. I’m glad to retain my long running relationship with ODI and begin new ones with companies such as X Fusion!”

JD Swanguen is stepping into the filming world along with keeping his racing at the highest level. He said, “I enjoy showing the amazing life I lead and I couldn’t think of a better team to do it with.”

Ryan Condrashoff has taken on the responsibility of managing the team. Coming back from an injury in 2009 he said, “I am excited to work with the boys to make this our best season ever. 2010 will be an awesome season and thanks to all of our sponsors for making this dream a reality.”

For Immediate Release-

Last week Ryan Condrashoff was informed by doctors that the wrist injury he suffered at the US OPEN along with the broken collarbone is a lot more serious then initially expected. He has ligament and bone damage that needs to be surgically fixed leaving him out the rest of the season. We all were very bummed when hearing the news and wish Ryan the fastest and best possible recovery. Ryan’s personality and riding style will be missed by the entire team.

On a more positive note, Sean McClendon, better known as Griz will be joining the team to fill Ryan’s position for the remaining events in the 2009 season. Griz is a public figure in mountain biking and has been racing since Papa Bush. Many of you may know him as a former employee of Decline Magazine. We feel his positive energy and dedication to his racing will help keep team moral up and results coming.

Griz is one of the most Patriotic American Citizens we have ever met so when the chance came to ride an American made bicycle it didn’t take long to get the thumbs up. He will be riding both the Intense M6 Evo and the new 951. The remaining events this season include the last 3 would cup rounds, Crankworx, and some other select North American events.

Thanks again to all the sponsors for their continued support, and keep checking out the web videos from the X-Fusion/ Intense Team’s adventures and rides.
