Amy Morrison on Transition Bikes! 🇺🇸
From who's story is that?
I think his wife
Cool to see Amy on a brand as badass as she is.
May have already been mentioned but confirmation Nukeproof/Conti team on RS/Sram this year.
like i said, doesn‘t look amicable. wonder what went down… #juicy
Lew Buchanan on Hayes brakes and Eddie Murphy delirious tyres.
Honestly though, does this guy want to be a racer, influencer, what is his goal? I feel like he wanted to race and had some decent results then just dropped out of all competition for like two years.
Hey, thought I’d clear up the fair question you asked here! I’m not into racing enduro anymore or heavily focusing on being competitive and haven’t been for a couple years now. I’ve been racing since I was 11 years old and I got tired of it. I’m enjoying competing now and then In different events but focusing on travelling to cool locations and filming & riding with new people and friends and sharing my experiences and working alongside my sponsors. Change has been good and I’ve found my feet doing this. Cheers
Lew
Nice one mate, that's what it's all about!
That's awesome! We definetly talk a lot about racing on this forum and we focus on the racers. But in the end the vast majority of us are out there to do exactly what you want to do, ride in cool places with cool people and have fun on bikes. 100% appreciate your response and I'm glad it works for you!
Influencer rumours
So who is running a fat bike wheel up front and a pancaked wheel out back?
Any rumors where Frix and Estaque will end up, now with Commencal/100% crew dissolving?
A little reminder why these guys rock, to me one of the best videos ever:
Famously he loved the anarchic nature of the Syndicate because he believed that a fun relaxed enviroment brought the best out of riders. I wonder if come the end of the current set of contracts plus Greg's retirement if a duller, more serious marketing corporate marketing regime is introduced.
Jamie Edmondson off to Munich to meet his new team mates
My guess (which isn't completely out of the blue) is a new Commençal team with quite a few of the Commençal 100% crew and some of the riders who have recently moved on from various other Commençal teams, those are local rumors anyway...
Raaw bikes is not far from Munich
How about YT?
Also, Raaw has moved their HQ more westward I think.
no
Not sure if it really means too much, but Sam Hill is entered in the Aus National Series DH round in Mt Buller this weekend.
We can dream about a WC return I guess!
Propain isn't too far from Munich...
My gut tells me it means something. First, he posted he's back riding after his most recent injury and provided the number of days until the VDS World Cup; then he hinted at 'big decisions moving forward' regarding race plans for 2023; and his most recent Instagram has him back riding downhill. I've also heard through the grapevine that Sam hasn't been thrilled about EWS racing the last few seasons. He came, he saw, and he conquered enduro. Why not revisit his first passion downhill?
Nukeproof Factory:
DH: Sam Hill, Adam Brayton, Ronan Dunne, Louise Ferguson.
Enduro: Eliott Heap, Kelan Grant, Corey Watson, Dan Booker.
There is a very big chance that Innes will be moved up to the factory enduro team. Which means that one on your list could be off the team.
Sam Hill mentoring Ronan Dunne would be amazing. The lad has got some real raw speed.
Thought people had been saying Veronika Widmann had got a team ride and Harry Molloy would be in a manager role? Also think Ronan Dunne has said he’s staying with his current continental set up alongside Chris Cummins? Good shout about Innes taking the place left by Sam if he does go back to DH.
He also liked my comment on his ig about him back to downhill, so Sam Hill to downhill confirmed!
2023, it will be 15 years since Sam's total annihilation of the VDS track back in 2008...
