Hello Vital MTB Visitor,
We’re conducting a survey and would appreciate your input. Your answers will help Vital and the MTB industry better understand what riders like you want. Survey results will be used to recognize top brands. Make your voice heard!
Five lucky people will be selected at random to win a Vital MTB t-shirt.
Thanks in advance,
The Vital MTB Crew
I’m not trying to make fun of you, but just point out that your logic is a bit off. You’re willing to talk shit about a bike that you’re obviously passionate about just because a bike company needed to protect its future and the hundreds of employees that work for it because they needed to retool. I know it’s more than 3-4 racers because of mechanics and such. Someone is always impacted.
Now, about your bike. If you do in fact like it, but still don’t want to “promote” the brand, here are your options:
1. Sell it at a decent price, but bike prices are still high and you’ll likely lose money buying a new bike. (If you have disposable income, screw it, buy a new bike anyway. N+1, that’s how this works, right?)
2. Spend $50-$100 on some frame protection with a design that covers the YT branding.
3. If you’re somewhere in the middle of options 1 & 2, get a freaking sweet custom paint job for a $1000 (plus or minus) and submit that beauty to Bike of the Day here.
The best part, if you choose options 2 or 3, if anyone asks what kind of bike you’re riding, just tell them it’s a Trek Session, because … doesn’t every non-Specialized or Santa Cruz bike look like a Session?
P.S. If you truly are an influencer, disregard everything I said and show them who’s boss!
Matt Stuttard was left a bit high and dry when Hope decided to stop racing, wonder if they offered his first refusal if they were to start up a program again.
And I can't believe there are still Monster girls at the SuperCross and MX.
Sorry that we have derailed Team Rumours. I dislike that too, but seeing as many people, including Spomer missed it I believe it does need to be talked about.
The only reason why I think Hope might be back racing is the comments mentioning Hope on Joe Barnes leaving Orange posts.
Joe Barnes on insta suggested the list of sponsors remained similar, just a frame swap. Would love to see him on another UK brand.
Comment from Privateer on the Matt Stuttard announcement suggests they will be replacing him and Chloe. Good to see them living up to the name and supporting up and coming riders.
Remember his name he could be even bigger than daprela..
I think he is a junior first year on 2022 so we can watch him on the wc
Keep an eye out for Rockshox Trek rider Tegan Cruz as well (Lucas Cruz' younger brother). He won't be doing World Cups until 2023 but he should be joining more events in 2022, I'd think.
If I'm looking for naked ladies on the internet, I have plenty of outlets that don't also include a bunch of ratty bros. That these goons think anyone wants to look at them says it all.
Both the photos and the promo video clips from the shoot are peak cringe.
Those of us with daughters are probably more sensitive to this type of nonsense than others, but we should all be willing to call this out.
