GHY / Transition/ DVO Racing from Vince Smith on Vimeo.
We are excited to introduce GHY Bikes/Transition/DVO Racing with three young, NW rippers. Dylan Brown, Josh Gibb and Bailey Villalovos will be racing Downhill, Slalom, and Enduro in 2016. Jason Gibb will be managing the team with Jerry Villalovos turning the wrenches.
Josh Gibb – 18 Redmond, WA
Josh had a solid season at the National Pro GRT series in 2015 in JR Ex with a 9th at Snowshoe and 13th at Port Angeles. Josh stood on the top step at both NW Cup stops at Stevens Pass and had two more top 4 finishes in the NW Cup, securing runner-up in the points. Josh is known for his hardtail skills and did not disappoint in 2015. He pulled a 2nd in Slalom at National Champs at Mammoth and was the #1 qualifier at Crankworx Whistler in Slalom, finishing 2nd. Josh will be racing DH, Enduro, and Slalom in 2016.
Bailey Villalovos – 19 Federal Way, WA
Bailey is coming off of a great season with 3 podiums in the NW Cup and 3rd overall in JR Ex in 2015. He will be looking to drop the hammer in the 19-29 Cat 1 class for 2016 at NW Cup. Bailey will also be racing Cascadia Cup Enduro and Slalom after a stellar performance at the annual GHY Bikes Bermsled race with a 4th in the pro class.
Dylan Brown – 17 Bothell, WA
Dylan is coming off of his first year in JR Ex in the NW Cup with some top 6 finishes and 8th overall in points.
