to underail team rumors, here's a thread to discuss out-of-the-industry sponsorship
https://www.vitalmtb.com/forums/hub/mtb-racing-and-outside-industry-mon…
and YAY DAK NEWS!
Happy that Pinkerton, Dunne, and Dak all found (assuming the big budget thing for Mondraker is real) pretty good rides. That being said, mondraker marketing tried to drag this bs on for way too long. Hype it up, announce it, be done with it.
So good for Dak, Mondrakers team looking very strong for sure.
I just need for Danny Hart and Aron to get into some good teams and I'm a happy camper for the season
So who gets that baller MS Mondraker pit setup is it MS Intense or Mondraker Factory Racing?
Seems like they both have money, so I bet they both have nice pits this year.
The team owns that (MS), so it should be staying with them (now MS Intense). MS = Markus Stöckl Racing, they’ve had various title sponsors attached over the years, but the team infrastructure belongs to them.
Mondraker is going to have a sick pit.
Heard the main reason Dak signed with mondraker is cause they are making him a signature handlebar, with 65mm rise and a crossbar.
Any word on where Eleonora Farina is going?
GT viris, we have the same setup here in the UK!
MS Intense along with fellow former MS Mondraker riders David Trummer, Tuhuto, Jacob Dickson
Thanks!!!
MS Intense. The massive bus is owned by MS Racing, and has been part of their set up for years, on their previous iterations (MS Intense / MS Evil / MS Mondraker).
The bus features in the opening segment of 3Focus with Matti Lehikoinen (skip to 3:36)...

Jeez, it's not everyday that something you shot more than 15 years ago gets referenced in a forum thread! The small crash he had on the second shot was literally the second shot we shot that day, and was actually pretty harsh, and almost caused the whole shoot to be cancelled.
What big names are we still waiting on? Gwin, Hart, Bulldog, Blenki, Vali (YT confirmed already, just waiting for official)?
He already pushed the forks through and cleaned the truck out of spacers. Just. Need. A. Little. Higher. Front. End.

Just watched/listen to the podcast on YouTube.
If Mondraker makes a Dak signature 50mm rise bar, I will buy it. Give the man some royalties and give us the stack height we all need for our aging backs!
It's a great film! Def one of the best World Cup films IMO. Classic DH at its best.
I was impressed by the 30+ downvotes so got motivated to actually show you a printscreen:
Crossbar = crossbar pad = SO MUCH ROOM FOR BRANDING
You got downvoted because it was mentioned ~20 times before you posted
Chromag does a 50mm rise bar, would recomend.
A touch narrow, buuuut...
I kid about that DJ bar, but I would like to see more choices for higher rises.
do you live under a bluerock?
I’m fully aware of the growing range of high rise bars, I’m currently using some 48mm Reverse Nico Vink bars, I just want them to be emblazoned with the name of the King Of Stack himself!
Call it
Dak’s Big Stack Stick
