While strait’s story is amazing and I don’t want to take anything away from his career. There is a big difference between doing well in certain events in the early days of free ride competition as a teen and having the most viewed video on the biggest mtb outlet be a video of you running around on a push bike. the entire mtb world has effectively watched Jackson grow up on a bike. His parents finding the right balance between shielding and growing his career is a major reason he’s in such a good position today. And there have definitely been a few parents who have tried to push their kid’s talent and have done so in a way that has only reflected poorly. Jackson and his family have effectively been working for over a decade cultivating his passion for bikes and an unexpected YouTube sensation into an extremely bright career opportunity. Nobody else has done that to the degree that they have. Just trying to give the goldstone family some respect for what they accomplished along with Jackson. Not everyone with a talented or smart kid navigates it remotely as well as they have.

I think Finn was also a child prodigy. He was known in that area when he was a grom as well and also had high potential in skiing but chose MTB.
I think you would find Sam Hill was the first of them all he actually won a free ride comp at 17 anD was jr world champ. And before that the real og was Johnny Waddell

Johnny Waddell was the first Santa Cruz Syndicate rider with a Red Bull helmet if I recall correctly. And if you don't know who he is, google "Kranked 5" and learn yourself.
All kids under 25 should watch movies on this wild wild man and learn some history

Fearon leaving Kona is all but confirmed. Not sure about the whole Dupelle program.

Big Changes at the Union. Arguably the best performing new team in 2021.

Some changes and contract refusals show money isn't everything.

Dean Lucas has been signed by GQ magazine.

Some riders leaving the EWS series after it turned into XC last year.

The Cannondale Waves video just dropped on Youtube and Ratboy is noticeable by his absence. Looks like he's really retired now.

Jacob Dickson was one of the few riders Warner mentioned during the Snowshoe WC broadcast that is looking for a new ride, correct? From his IG, he's still riding Giant bikes and repping them in his bio.

Any leads on where he might end up?

If Luca to Canyon happens, does he really gain anything.. Is the Sender better than the V10? This season i think we saw him showing more speed. Then go learn a new bike?
I think it also depends on how Luca views himself. Does he view himself as a program's top rider? If so, Canyon makes little sense as they have Brosnan and Wallace...not to mention Tahnee.

Millie Johnset posted on her story a picture of crates on crates of Red Bull, maybe something, maybe nothing, but she has been stepping it up recently, and I could see her moving into a similar role as Kade and Kaos, as a free racer type. She was throwing some pretty big suis on a jump setup, this is pure speculation. Smile
I believe Millie is dating Kaos, who is a Red Bull rider. That may explain the cases of Red Bull.

Millie is dating Kaos, who is not sponsored by Red Bull. That would be Kade Edwards, who is dating fellow RB athlete Tahnee Seagrave.

Ah yes, you're right. I always confuse last names, who is who and their respective sponsors in that close-knit group.

I didn't saw anything new For Izabela Yankova, so if you haven't heard, she is going to ride for Specialized with Bruni. She said that a month ago in an interview for the Bulgarian Cycling federation.

Pretty sure this was discussed earlier, Specialized Gravity will be on Specialized apparel and helmets for 2022.

Totally spitballing here, but Luca to Norco? They need another rider to get some top 10's. There were a few times no Norco riders were in the top 60 finals day this year. Blenki is still the man in my eyes but didn't have his best season this year unfortunately, It would be great to see a stacked roster next year come out swinging.

In saying all this, Luca still posting videos on the Gram riding SC bikes. There could be no move at all lol and we are all just goobers.

Steve Peat and Laurie Greenland both rode at North Nibley yesterday on their E Bikes, Laurie was still riding Mondraker from the images he put on Instagram. Bit of an odd place for Peaty to go to though, it's very local to Laurie and he rides there often but Peaty isn't usually around that area. The Syndicate rumours could be true?
