Team Yeti adds Riffle and Houseman

Team Yeti has added two gravity racers, Duncan Riffle and Rich Houseman, to its team for the 2005 season. Riffle, who recently turned 18 and is the current USA National Champion in downhill, will be surrounded by some of the best professional racers on the circuit. Rich Houseman, who excels in mountain-cross and downhill, is coming off one of his best seasons ever and will add depth to the Yeti roster.

Returning are mountain-cross specialist Jill Kintner, Aussie downhill and mountain-cross speedster Jared Graves and Colorado's favourite gravity racer Ross "the crusher" Milan. Gone are longtime Yeti cross-country racer Paul Rowney, who retired last year and young hammer Trent Lowe, who will move to a bigger team for '05 and split his time between road and mountain bike racing.
