Does anyone know what happened to Phil Soven? Did he just quit riding?

He went ghost on the industry. No social media, no contests.....

He's no longer listed on Malibus website as part of their team. Wonder what happened

Probably needed to step back for a bit.

I have been wondering the same thing and no one knows what happen to him. I used to love watching him ride. Its a shame he is away from the sport.

Plus 1 for retirement:

I was speaking to a senior sport executive and the information he's received is that he's retired.

I hope it's a temporary thing!

That's definitely an old video probably from last year... He's riding an rx which isn't even his pro model with them (the imperial)

I was just at Expo and Wake Awards and didn't see him. That doesn't mean he wasn't there though.
