I've moved on to feet lmao, those are Jenna's shoes.
Honestly the only reason I know is because I have lusted after those shoes since I saw that color come out. I am neither good enough to rock them, nor can I justify buying the exact same shoe I already own but in a different color. So the shoes caught my eye and I remembered she posted that photo of just her shoes the other day.
So...what shoes are they?
Crankbrothers Mallet DH lace in Purple/Gum

These photos and videos were from like 2 years ago. The wrapped frame is a Trek session he was riding .
Moar gearboxes in the DH world, I like it!
Erm, there's an Intense Prototype sticker on that seat stay, or have I misunderstood something?
That's a Session rear end. I seem to recall Gwin saying they had pieced together a bike from a couple different frames.
Ah, okay thanks.
No need for Enhanced Freckle Distribution Analysis, MI-SOX is on the case!
Danny on a bike with "2 chains" - per Ed Masters, maybe Ed is trolling in his last vid. What other than the Pivot Proto has 2 chains??
G1 Zerode.
Assume everything from Eddy is trolling 😂
2 Chainz waiting for Danny to get on the bike right before Eddy posted that
Forbidden
Hate to disappoint, he's definitely still riding the bike everyone has mentioned a million times at this point.
I heard of another BC DH racer on the WAO race bike....
That looks like girl fingers. I can't see the Adams apple to confirm...

I'd guess Mark Wallace.
I'd be stoked if Jackson Frew got back on a WCDH team, he's had great results in Crankworx series.
Frew/Wallace rumor for WA1 has begun.

I may still have missed a few or gotten something wrong so please chime in if that's the case!
I feel you. I dumped a very similar one this morning..
Looks like tuhoto is still riding a mondraker, what’s going on there? I thought he was supposed to be on intense ?
Yeah most likely just hasn’t received all his intense bikes yet, just the main ones like dh bike
Saw that Finn has been riding Seymour this week, wonder if Mark has been out there too?
About Aggy, One of his recent stories was teasing his new ride, and the frame layout did look very much like an Evil. Probably bach to them, then.
Shameless promotion time. I sat down with Alan Milway (coach and Norco team manager) last week to chat about all the DH team moves and get this thoughts on them. Podcast version is live now here https://www.downtimepodcast.com/team-moves-2024/
YouTube version premieres at 6pm GMT today if anyone fancies joining us here https://youtu.be/9kXXLt4lsuI
Blenki and Taylor Vernon to Zerode.
Wyn has signed a new 3 year contract with GT.
He's at Darkest now, so hopefully we should see what he's riding very soon
Expecting to see a Shark on this soon.
Looked like a forbidden to me
