It’s official; Nate just inked a one-year deal with Diamondback.From what he tells us, he’s going to be doing a lot more than just racing double-A. Like what? Well, he’s planning on hitting all the Dew Tour stops, plus all of the Core Tour dates (at least the ones that don’t conflict with races). And considering he’s made the finals at just about every dirt comp he’s ever entered, we’d say Diamondback’s getting double the bang for their buck with this kid.

Nate getting his holeshot on at the ABA Reno race this past weekend. Nice that he killed it in jeans and a Pony long sleeve. Big ups to Twenty’s Justin Kosman for sending over the photo.

Here’s what else we know… obviously DB is Nate’s main sponsor, and it looks like he’s going to continue receiving love from Pony footwear and a company called Liquid Charge. Sun Rims, SST, and FSA are also DB team sponsors, so you can bet Nate’s getting paid in full.

Why Nate kicks ass:
ABA Grands - sixth (AA Pro), first (Pro Open)
NBL Christmas Classic - Third (AA Pro), first (Pro Open)
ABA Reno - Second (AA Pro), first (Pro Open)
Turndown flips, X-up flips, tons of three variations, and does everything at least five feet higher than anyone else…
