Haro announced today that they would be picking Brooke Crain up, and off of the Clayborne roster. As a Visalia, California native, Crain has been immersed in the BMX world since 2002, and is currently a top ranking Junior Elite Women taking home the World number 2 plate this past summer in South Africa.
Haro TM Derek Betcher had this to say about the teams newest acquire “I feel that finishing on the podium is important, but looking good while doing it is equally important, Brooke does both. She’s the perfect fit for Haro and Rockstar Energy.” Be on the look out for Crain in the Haro/Rockstar colors at the ABA’s season opener in Reno next weekend, for more info check out the Haro Bikes blog.

More of an update, and hopefully some photos to come later.
