The colours and theme are based on the Sony logo. It is even a video tape in the announcement.

Don't recall hearing Enduro racers called gravity riders before.

With up-and-coming Southeast rider Jack Brown on the Devo Team and Kate Lawrence on the National Team! Apparently, the recipe for landing on a Yeti team is dominating the BME!

I actually raced with Jack Brown and Chris Grice in the 3rd Coast Enduro series when they were in their early-to-mid-teens. Both were super humble, and were just stoked to ride their bikes. I also remember Jack getting notably faster each race, and quickly smoking everyone. Gotta love the state of gravity riding in the Southeast!

Awesome news for Jack! Super cool guy I ran into sliding around in the mud at Kanuga one rainy winter day just having a blast. Glad to see his talents recognized.

I don't mind it that much, certain color combos just work. While not a huge fan of PB, their kit looks nice.

Otherwise, let's not forget how the ENTIRE bike industry is SO creative, that everybody ripped of the classic Gulf Racing livery for a decade and a half! And I don't mean well done things, like a one-off Production Privee Shan, but sad shit, like Trek and Specialized 1000 bucks hardtails. A tribute is a tribute, a rip-off is a rip-off. And these here were most likely done with the perpetrators feeling good about themselves.

I don't mind the football/soccer jersey idea from above, if it is cleverly done. But ”design quality” is quite a stretch, most of them are ugly like hell and plastered with sad logos.

So now the only unannounced rider/sponsor is Brett Rheader, right? That'll be an interesting one.

Just noticed that Grubby isn't listed on the ambassador roster, figured he'd still be on Yeti even in an ambassador role.
"Kasper Woolley has represented the Yeti / OneUp team in the past, but after becoming a top-10 force in the 2021 season, he has officially moved up to the factory team. He has been mentored by Jared Graves, who will also continue to represent Yeti and who will move further into a coaching and team support role."

I was expecting Jure to be on a demo this year. It turns out he'll be on a Sender.

Commencal was pulling ahead in number of teams, so canyon had to fight back and get one out of nothing Silly

From what I've heard the Demo doesn't come in an S5 size and is thus too small.

Demo is small. Needs larger sizes. That’s the only thing that stopped me from getting one

Don't get me wrong, there's some bad football kits out there but the good ones are so good 👌

He was on 100% helmets and goggles but already made a goodbye post to 100%.
Maybe back to Leatt? Kelan Grant posted Leatt shoes some days ago.
His kids were riding in what appeared brand new Fox helmets recently, so who knows…
But it would be awesome to see him back to TLD!!

Love how now it has all gone quiet on the team rumors, we are clinging on to the thrill of this thread by guessing what helmet Sam Hill might use.

Ya i'm guessing Fox as well. His kids are fully kitted out in fox and I think I saw some of his teammates in fox somewhere
