Karl Poynter on EasternAs the internet knows, Karl is on Eastern. |
As most of the internet knows, Karl Poynter is now riding for Eastern Bikes. We are excited to have such an original rider and a cool guy on the team. He’s going to add to the already strong team that Eastern has and contribute a part to the new Eastern full-length team video.
I asked Karl what he liked in a company and he had this to say; “The ingredients for a growing BMX company would be quality products of course, a solid fun lovin' team, and a good staff/family running the brand, which I believe Eastern has it all.”
And to be more specific I asked him what it was he liked about Eastern. “The people who operate and run the brand, the quality and design of the products, and definitely the team are what makes Eastern a perfect fit for me”, was his response.
“I'm really close to the majority of the team already and can't wait to hangout and ride with the members that I don't know as much as the others. The team is definitely a good mix of guy's with diverse personalities who are always having fun”, Karl said about the team.
Adam Banton added this about Karl; “No brakes and freecoaster was Karl’s set up before it was trendy. Dialed riding, clean style and approachable personality is what makes him a young influence. He adds value to Eastern’s strong brand and more smiles and laughs on team trips for the future. Welcome hot Karl!”
So with that I just want to welcome Karl to the team and just keep watching for big things to come.

you guys that are complaining are really dumb theres a good reason why he left or else he wouldn't have left hes way better than all of us so why does it matter and i work at a bike shop and eastern sells way more than Sunday so im guessing eastern is better and the kid that kept breaking his frame should lose weight or learn how to ride better because if easterns products were so bad then eastern would be out of businessPosted at 5:02 p.m. on March 18, 2009

What must be said is that we make products at scaled price points for different intended purposes. Having said that, if you get a Paydirt complete, don't go out and 3 it down a 12 set and get mad because the rear wheel gets bent or the bars bend...go out and purchase a Reaper II. Build it up with some Hawkeye forks and Wonder Year bars as this is the equipment designed for your riding level. All of our products are designed with specific rider levels in mind and these can be found in the specifications for each product. We want everyone to be able to afford the best quality part for their riding level.Posted at 7:21 p.m. on March 20, 2009

its simple , he left sunday for eastern because with eastern being a bigger household named company which is probably making more money, allows for more exposure, travel ..etc for him......not to mention, Im sure a good sum of pay was involved as well..Posted at 10:37 p.m. on March 31, 2009

Sad to see Karl leave Sunday! F*"k whatever people think about what company. Some Companies work for some and not for others. Fair play on him for being a badass, original rider. Far from todays mould of street tweakers.Posted at 11:04 a.m. on April 4, 2009
