I can go to TJ Max and get a super durable pair of jeans for about $20. They'll outlast any DH pant I've ever had.
Do they function as well? Heck no! They don't breath, are heavy and can cause some serious chafing issues!
He was just being honest, and explaining why he races in jeans. As home_piece said, it could be an opportunity for a soft goods company, especially if he finds his way onto the podium next year. You could also make some seriously funny jokes with this one...a race kit that looks like a Canadian Tuxedo?! LOL! (and still way better than Fox's zebra print!)
Either way, there is an opportunity here, just have to put the right lens on it.
My $0.02.
....to YOU coming full circle talking like DH pants haven't evolved to the point of pure awe and having more options under the sun than hairs on a rhino's ballsack?
Seriously, the world of "stir shit up and act like we got it all wrong until tomorrow's idea" that you live in is so damn assanine. That you could even be triggered to respond about DH race pants in that manner all cause some dude wore a lighter coolered version of Chuch Norris 1975 kickboxing stretch jeans...is ABSURD!!! Go sit over there!
Prediction: Canadian jrs continue to crush it with minimal factory support.
Where's Vali's contract at anyway? She'll be high on any teams list in the coming years if she stays healthy since she's placing well in the elite Women's before she's even in the category. Stay on YT or will specialized or trek throw down some $$$
PS, all I really care about is where Nina and Vali end up next year.. is women’s racing more exciting than the men’s these days or what?
PPS, let’s all remember in January, when this is all said and done, for the 2020 season, #teamrumors started were it mattered most: with jeans.
Palmer has already done the jeans after his fall out with Fox, nothing new there...
Already a lot of people’s own thoughts and speculation..
Let’s keep it purely facts, back it up with proof..
As for actual team rumour talk, I like Johannes a ton, but I think this Denim Destroyer thing is getting old and boring. It was nice at the beginning, the point was made here too, the discussion created (here we are...), but now I think he is only reinforcing his privateer brand, maybe to create more leverage for future contract discussions. But Commencal already used his image in a recent clip, so it must be true that there is a bond there. Because I don't think they tricked him into doing things for free for them. So I'm jumping the ”Johannes von Klebelsberg to Commencal 100%” wagon.
As for jeans being ”better” for DH racing... Mhm, right!
