Now THAT’S a farewell video. Well done.
On the vital instagram post about Jesse leaving Rocky, Dean Lucas posted this comment. Someone smarter than me decipher it please:
*takes a huge slug of Jose Quervo's worst rotgut tequila, yanks off pants and climbs a light pole*
MOIR, LUCAS, AND HARRISON TO YT
*vomits and falls off light pole*
Maybe Jack is going back to intense to put their new bike on the EWS(not letting EDR become a thing) scene
Honestly I want to know about this too haha.
The Soul Train is back!?!
Moir to Scott?
I will start a totally baseless rumor that the whole 50to01 crew is going to switch to Cotic in an effort To support a UK brand.
This season of Moi Moi TV is going to be so good!
How so?
👀
Reece Wallace off Muc-Off?
Or for the new season he gets new helmets?
This could be legit to be fair, I’ve a friend who works for muc-off and said they’ve recently laid some people off for financial reasons. They also dropped Lando Steezy (instagrammer/influencer type) a couple of months back and he put a bit of a bitchy post on SM - deleted but I found a screenshot from the time… he seemed pretty pissed.
If it’s not Cotic.. that group of riders to help shine the light on a lot of great small bike brands.
Polygon adding Jack Menzies to the team and 23 Degrees/Martin Whiteley will be handling management.
I wonder if all the riders will end up on matching running gear eventually? They all had their own component set up last year didn’t they?
Like how Specialized dropped the entire ambassador program, including people with multi-year paid contracts.
People that work in the bike industry are *hitting bricks right now. The "fringe employees" are the first to go, the real employees will follow.
I could see why Mucoff dropped him. He hasn’t done any contests since that one time he wasted his invite to rampage. It just seems like why would you pay someone who barley puts out any content or is that active in contests. It just seems to me he is much more into advertising his trust fund money buying him a passion project recreational pilots license. I hope MucOff puts more money into up and coming dirtbags from an inner city, not some rich BC trustfunders who probably don’t even need sponsorship to begin with. Also who wants to pay $1000 for your bull$h!t helmet if I’m paying $1000 for a new lid it’s having my custom graphic on it. I used to own Andreau Lacondeguys winning rampage wheels I acquired them from a gift. A rad guy like that would not be trying to over charge for some whack hype helmet.
Sam Hill on the move?
He responded to a comment asking what was next w/ "Soon"...
I could see him on GT with Rachel. He’s pretty close with the team, and GT seems as interested in personality as results. They also just “lost” their DS specialist in Joey Forests, so there is an opening there.
Looks like Melanie Pugin won't be riding for BH Bikes anymore in 2023, according to her Instagram

Hannah Barnes seems to still be on their roster.
Specialized did NOT drop their entire Ambassador program. Only the 40-50 GLOBAL Brand Ambassadors that brought in a paycheck. There are still several Ambassadors who all got re-signed and even joined the program for 2023, these Ambassadors don't get a paycheck.
I was riding at Dyfi bike park a few week back and the whole 50to01 crew were there. Craig Evans was riding a prototype Airdrop bikes frame.
Airdrop makes even more sense. They basically make a DJ, a jib/4X bike, and a 27.5 longer travel bike, which all suit 50to01’s style well.
Was a DH bike he was riding, so I guess that just about completes the lineup eh!!
