IMO, Giant should be contending every year for a WC trophy, with their money and resources i feel like they should be trying harder.

Where's the fun in that? The drama? The intrigue? It's our job on here to come up with the most all the worst, off the cuff rumors, the best of which eventually get stolen by pinkbike and only 10 posts of 5000 are even close to accurate. It's how we pay back the pro's for our summer of entertainment when they need a laugh between reps. And I need something to come home too lol.

As far as the denim destroyer, Although he loves the jeans because of their protection and such like he said, I'm sure if you gave him free dh gear and a pay check he'd be fine keeping them in the pits.

Spomer you love stirring sh*t up this early in the season... kinda love it. BTW they do have money now with Dungey and the other Honda guy buying in when they got Gwin... Gwin and Hill on the same bike wouldn't suck for the brand that is for sure....

These stories could probably take up their own thread!

I was sat in the car park with him during these negotiations, they fell apart because he was asking for a ridiculous sum of money to run gear. In the end, he still got more than any bike athlete was making for a gear deal, but not his original ask. Palm was only around for 3 seasons, the rocket burned hot and quick and left us all with many stories and lessons in contract negotiations haha.

I am surprised this hasn't been said earlier, as this is one of the more interesting parts in the history of our still young sport; how the top marketable athlete at the time used whatever he had handy (in this case a borrowed sharpie) as leverage in a contract negotiation. I mean, we are still talking about it exactly 21 years later; that's quite some power in a sharpie!

I would really like to find out if it's true that Fox ended up paying him more than he initially asked or if that is only folklore... And I do...

Yip, I’m pretty aware he did only one race in them. Wasn’t the point I was trying to make. It’s no big deal what riders wear... as long as they feel comfortable. I don’t know why people were making a big deal about jeans. I know Plamer was trying to make his point to his then sponsors at the time and he looked awesome doing it... so they were awesome jeans.

Palmer did one race in jeans...I would know, I gave him my sharpie to mark them up with specialized logos, and he wore them to make a point, not because they were awesome. His point being; "one dude changed the whole game, and got everyone in moto pants, me".
