Newcastle Limited/ Crested Butte is Bryan Wickenhauser, Jon Brown, Jari Kirkland, and Eric Sullivan.
Back in 2002, Team Crested Butte was made up of a group of "fun loving rocky mountain knuckleheads" who resided in one of the worlds top rated natural playgrounds. The team started big by jumping into New Zealands Southern Traverse. Not ones to back away from challenge, this was their very first race and is considered by some to be one of the most difficult multi-sport events on the planet. The team didn’t meet with immediate success and the group was retooled the following year a couple of times. When all was said and done Team Crested Butte emerged for the 2003 Subaru Primal Quest ready to prove something - and that is exactly what happened. Team Crested Butte placed 11th in one of the premier races in the world.
The breakout success provided momentum which carried the team into 2004 racking up a tight win at the season opener of the Adventure Xstream series in Moab, Utah and a 4th place finish at the Appalacian Extreme in Maine. All of this success brought us into partnerships with Newcastle Limited, Westwall Development, Gunnison Crested Butte Tourism Assoc., Midwest Leasing, Inc., and Crested Butte Mountain and resulted in our current incarnation - Team Newcastle Limited / Crested Butte.
