I love CK, but is it weird if I keep picturing Melamed on Yeti? I mean, Jared coming back would be pretty sick too!

How about Lewis Buchanan riding for Yeti?

Where does Cody Kelley end up in 2018?

#EWSRumors




It's not hard to picture me on a Yeti! My early Instinct proto has a similar look.

Yeti was a major player but I just had to stay Canadian!

Cody will be on another American brand, not your first guess though.
Lewis I'm not sure on but based on his recent social media it's a pretty good guess that it will be Yeti.

And this is an obligatory 'OMG, ONE OF THE GUYS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS IN OUR SANDBOX, ACT COOL PEOPLE!!!' post. Smile

Oh and Jesse it's really cool that you're this open when telling the world that you had offers and that these were particular offers, which in the end got turned down. I think it would be really interesting to someday see which offers have people had, let alone the reasons these were turned down for example.

Lol he didn't cover the Wu Dropper post. Working for a spesh dealer I'm stoked Joel Anderson will be on board. Love watching him ride.

Right on! Called it. He’s been “liking” every Michelin ig post for months. Wild rockr2 is the best tire out there atm. Million times better than those mavics he’s been on. I guess Jerome semi retiring freed up the $’s

You can also see the Ohlins piggyback in the Joel Anderson picture.

I love reading all this stuff, I'm just as curious as anyone here!

I get to learn a lot of inside info but I'm still in the dark for a lot of it. I am also curious when partnerships come to an end, parting ways isn't always amicable so I always wonder who was at the wrong end of it haha.

Check the logo on her socks. Someone in here already had the correct answer.

It has already been said where CK is going and it isn't the big S or Marin again.
