The Truth about Eagle-Sport and Steven Tongson

So I'm sure by now, rumors have been spreading...Even though this only happened last night..


For those who aren't aware, for over a year I have been the Eagle-Sport US Team Manager, I also handled Team riders from other countries, and all sponsor requests as well as the District US Team and sponsored riders. I was also working as the DSA Sales and Marketing Manager.


Now as most people have already heard one way or another. I am no longer with Eagle-Sport or DSA. I'm not sure what some of the rumors going around are, and I have no interest in hearing them, or hearing peoples ridiculous comments about this. It was a personal decision, and not an easy one. But just know now, that all false comments posted on this post, will either be denied, or deleted. As I really don't think anyone can speak on the actual situation and what happened, unless they are Myself or the owner of Eagle-Sport.


I am choosing not to go into details about my parting from Eagle-Sport and DSA. All people need to know is that there is no hatred between myself and the owners of both companies. I made a personal decision to part ways with DSA, and shortly after that it was decided that I should also part ways with Eagle-Sport. The reason that this is a bitter pill for me to swallow, is because I have been so involved with Eagle-Sport for such a long time. My Team riders are guys that I considered like my family. They in turn appreciated me because I made sure they were taken care of. In the aftermath of my departure from Eagle-Sport, Team riders Tyler Wheeland and Josh Toy felt it was there time to step away also. Please let it be known, I would NEVER ask my Team riders to walk with me. The decisions they make and have made are their decisions. If those decisions were influenced by me not being a part of Eagle-Sport anymore, is beyond my control.

I want to take this time to say something to the owners of Eagle-Sport and DSA. Thank you guys, for all that you've done for me in the past and all the opportunities working for you guys have given me. I have learned so much from the both of you, and I am grateful for that. I wish you both nothing but the best with your companies and have the utmost confidence that you will both continue to be extremely successful in this sport that we all love.



So there you have it guys. Stop with rumors on facebook and forums. The truth is that it was a personal decision, there was no intense scandal behind this or bad feelings aimed at anyone. And for those saying or asking if "Steven_T is leaving the sport for good"...well, you'll just have to wait and see what I do next.
