Title: Animal?
Post by: The Brawn on July 30, 2015, 02:07:16 AM: Is Animal dead? I know Schnell posted some info on that other forum and got Navaz a bit upset but since then there's still been no talk about what's up with Animal. Anyone got anything on it?

Post by: The Brawn on July 30, 2015, 08:37:18 AM: Yeah, looks like it. I'm just an old dude hoping it's not true. Dans Comp's not getting any more Edwin grips, Custom Riders in Uk have 90% of the AbikeCo stock on "discontinued" status too. Time will tell.

Post by: condrbkr on July 30, 2015, 03:44:48 PM: I don't think Animal is dead, probably some type of restructuring/revitalizing happening right now. If you look at their Instagram they've been backing some new dudes thats names have only popped up since they went quiet.

How? It was a bunch of generic tees and hoodies being sold for at least 4x what it cost for them to buy.

They had tons of "street wear" stuff like jackets, jeans, polos, dress shirts, etc.

a friend of mine bought one of the standard (ish) looking animal topload's from lil jeff via ebay a while back. the one they showed in the last interbike hotel flick so i don't know what that says if anything?

as for two friends who had worked for animal and helped me out in the past cost wise they've both moved on, about a year ago.

hoping interbike 16 pops up and they're alive and well. time will tell.
