Scrap all the rest of the team rumours, this is the only one that matters. Need to get Gofundme together to buy the rights and launch the team.
Man...I was just shooting for a "internet vs in person" comparison thing about all our personalities varies greatly.
Perception is always from your own viewpoint, never from the person themself. BK, Gwin, GM, Peaty, Gee, Sam, Palmer...individuals.
But a camera is one persona.
Text (Twitter, email, forum) is another persona.
Helmet on in the gate is another.
I don't judge these guys by ANY camera, typing or game face.
It's all just balance bikes for kids. Let's unserious.
Now....someone get AI to sticker up a lime green Iron Horse livery on Sam Hill's Empire frame.
To fully modernize it, you gotta change the cut off MadCatz jersey & shorts to skinsuit fit.
I'd do it but I'm all out of Grok Image free uses.
Jett to Frameworks
Has Frameworks made any statement about their iron cross usage? It’s a worse look now than it was on those Worlds bikes.
Dak running the high bars still on the Scott
rofl
They don't look quite as high...
Double crown addict… is that you?
Moto AF
It’s a play on the west coast choppers logo. Which was everywhere here in America when Neko was a young lad.
Back in the late 80's, I thought I was the s#*t with my Life's a Beach Iron Cross hat
Respectfully, it's been around since the beginning of MC outlaw and backyard chopper culture. Independent Trucks in skateboarding too since forever. West Coast Choppers is unoriginal and lame.
Huh, I thought i always thought it was from Independent trucks (skate).
Can we get a team vid of neko and Asa cruising on some Harleys then have Gwin cruise up next to them whilst born in the USA is cranking
Might be unoriginal and lame but was huge in pop culture. Like in Walmart, Kmart, kohls level of big. Didn’t Jesse date Sandra bullock and pink too if I remember correctly. Was definitely a big deal even if it was a fad.
Tensor trucks is where it’s at anyways if you are going to go beyond department store trucks. Independents just expensive for no reason.
Maltese cross 😉
Ed masters retiring
not the flex you think it is right now
He just popped this up on Youtube:
Just cause their president is doing things I don’t understand or agree with doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate an American team doing great stuff within their respective sport and industry.
Plus who doesn’t love a bit of Springsteen
i dont know how things play out for Ed... But if this means no WynTV and no Ed Bull Media House next year... as well as a limited Vital Raw schedule again? we're up a certain creek without a particular paddle
ideal scenario would be wyn and ed teaming up, figuratively and literally, and being able to cover the races with each other. wyn more on interviews and ed more on riding. i dunno... a man can dream
Not sure you could slot Moi Moi TV into the "Masters mix," but who knows...
WBD, are making it harder for media at WC, unless you are part of their official media team
Vanzacs become the Videozacs?
I could be down for that.
True, but the UCI also clamped down on rider POV videos before WBD were on the scene, both in DH and EWS. To me that took a chunk of those race scenes accessibility.
Stamp it.
Have you, like, listened to the lyrics of that song at all…?
I have heard of numerous team media needing to find new work because of wbd
Start new Thread, then...
List your sources, evidence and maybe solutions. Thanks
