Rocky Mountain gravity team selected

Thomas Vanderham, aka "The Kid," has resigned for a seventh year with Rocky Mountain. He joins Freeride star Wade Simmons, referred to as "The Godfather," and Germany's Rob Jauch to form the 2007 pro team.

Vanderham represented Canada at the Junior World Downhill championships in 2002, and since then he's consistently placed in the top ten in all major Freeride and Slopestyle Competitions. In 2006 he finished sixth at Monster Park and seventh at Whistler’s Crankworks competition, after returning from a broken leg that kept him out of competition for four months of the season. Some will know Vanderham from his roles in the movies "New World Disorder" and "Roam."

A fixture at Rocky Mountain, Simmons has turned his attention and focus to mentoring young riders and sharing his love for the sport while Jauch has been stacking up the slopestyle results.

For 2007, the team also includes younger riders Slopestyle and Dirt Jumpers Alex Pro and Kyle McDonald from Whistler, and two-time Junior Downhill World Championship medal winner, Micayla Gatto.
