Pinkbike Academy Winner Let Go From His Sponsor After Only One Season

Max Grayston, better known as motomaxcanada on Instagram, announced recently that Orbea, his title sponsor that he won a shot with on the mountain bike gameshow Pinkbike Academy, has elected not to renew his contract after a season of working together.

Take a look at his farewell post below.

"Goodbye Orbea!

Thanks so much for an amazing opportunity to ride bikes full time this summer @pinkbike @pinkbikeacademy @Orbea! This was a dream come true and a very memorable year! Unfortunately Orbea was not interested in renewing the contract and we will be parting ways in 2024😔! I’m very happy and proud of the year and everything Ive been able accomplished on their bikes! Thanks so much for the support @orbea @ridefoxbike @raceface @shimanomtb @maxxisbike

Unsure what 2024 will look like, but I know one things for certain, I’ll be back on a DH bike in the park!"

If one thing is for sure, it's that Max will certainly keep riding like the human highlight reel that he is in 2024 regardless of a sponsor. That being said, we wish him the best in finding support in these trying times.
