When was he on 27.5? His fork had 40 decals on it but it always looked like it was a 29er

God, the bickering has already started and we are only on page 2!! Palmer has already done the jeans after his fall out with Fox, nothing new there... Already a lot of people’s own thoughts and speculation.. Let’s keep it purely facts, back it up with proof..

The only two who might really matter are Vali and Thibaut Dapréla.

someone getting familiar with a megatower?

I really hope all the " {top rider name} goes to Huffy/Schwinn/Mongoose/etc" posts end. It was no longer funny in 2015 and that's not likely to change today or the next decade.

3 of them have factory rides, Jameson, Cruz and Shandro. If Intense and Devinci are smart they give Seth and Patrick rides for next year.

YT has to be getting something together in the works. I know they went for a back to basics approach but other than Vali the Tues is gone from view. They must have noted sales drop off. Maybe form a SRAM squad with Trummer, Vali and Angel (if he can stay on the bike for a full season, poor guys) and maybe another Jr? Or a whole new team. Where's Vali's contract at anyway? She'll be high on any teams list in the coming years if she stays healthy since she's placing well in the elite Women's before she's even...

"triggered" is right, holy smokes man. Prediction: Canadian jrs continue to crush it with minimal factory support.

Nina has earned a factory ride from Santa Cruz even if they think she’s a little ways out from being officially apart of the syndicate. Caribou has gone big this year in part thanks to scott’s Support. Would be great for sport if more companies would start sponsoring women without them needing to be a race winner

Maybe the Denim Destroyer gets hooked up with one of those ultra hip Jeans companies and is seen with bedazzled gems on the pockets...

Love you Stik but this is a bit of a misread IMO. I can go to TJ Max and get a super durable pair of jeans for about $20. They'll outlast any DH pant I've ever had. Do they function as well? Heck no! They don't breath, are heavy and can cause some serious chafing issues! He was just being honest, and explaining why he races in jeans. As home_piece said, it could be an opportunity for a soft goods company, especially if he finds his way onto the podium next year. You could also make some seriously funny jokes...

no it was her spare frame, she smashed her custom juliana frame! also eddie masters going to race EWS full time

At some point she did stop riding a Juliana and switch to a "normally" branded Santa Cruz V10, and she is often in the Syndicate pits. Could be a thing.

100%. Was about to post something along the lines of "sounds like the riders need a union". Like anybody else their bosses/companies are extracting profit based on their undervalued labour. Though it should be extended to all the support staff too.

hot damn that was a beautiful response. and necessary

Eddie epitomizes a lot of the good of the sport from a Kiwi lens, couldn't have happened to any more of a GC. Such a bummer.

There is one word to describe this situation... FUCK!

He's got Steeze even on the way to the ambulance.

Just look at Wyns privateer of the week winner list, there is a lot of heat for 2020! I dont do social media, but i would follow some of those riders..

Trummer has earned big team support
