Norco is here to race fuckin bikes! I love Danny Hart and Camille Blanche on the same team. That’d be sick! With Minnaar in charge? That dude loves winning. I was always struck by Fairclough’s stories about how GM wasn’t giving any sort of tips to him when he was starting out, even mind gaming him as a teammate…Minnaar is one of those ruthless winners, straight up here to win. I don’t have that in me so I’m always attracted to it. Hart and Balanche have it too. I thought he’d suck as a boss, but if he’s responsible for...

Just leaving this one here for you guys Edit 23.12.2024 - I do not allow Pinkbike or any other outlet to use this picture. Vital Team Rumors exclusive!

NO comment 😉 the old boy Running the team will be happy with his pace I reCkon thO

If that is the gearbox bike he gets points for blacking out where the derailleur cage would be...

Danny landing at Norco Brage will do some sick viking shit like forge a bike out of fuckin Swords or something and put a set of Bombers on it. Hell yeah!

Hans Rey can finally retire though

hopefully Brage winds up with a good sponsor.

You know how rich dorks move into the cool neighborhood and then start complaining about the nightclub’s noise and the neighborhood starts sucking and becomes lame and they’re all looking around like what? That’s what this feels like. Union embodied the passion that truly drives the sport. Their whole thing was to help, not to earn. Pricing them out is not better for anyone.

Long live The Union. A fraction of the budget and a bigger stack of results than so many high-dollar teams out there. Their absence tells the story of things to come.

Hard MTB League test event content is starting to come out. April Zastrow has a rad vlog from the week. We'll have stuff dropping this week too. Killer concepts being tested and solidifed before going forward.

IDK what the riddles mean, but good excuse to re-listen to this classic.

too hungover for this shit bro

Yeah. Their mum is Rebel Wilson and their dad was the volleyball in Castaway.

stupid sexy Isles

This is basically why V&R Racing exists. To help cover the travel costs for junior (women) WC racers. (We kept Taylor Ostgaard on for an extra year in Elite cuz she's just so frickin awesome.) We'd love to expand and help more racers, but for now, we'll stay focused and try to fill the need. We'd love to see more sponsors like us helping fill this gap. We'll throw a little teaser out since this is the rumors thread - our next sponsored rider races for Gravity Collective.

apparently i wrote an article on rampage in 2003. i just found it and have reposted it here (w/ some pics, vids and apologies LOL). groomers vs raw was a hot topic over two decades ago, too. https://www.vitalmtb.com/features/what-i-wrote-about-red-bull-rampage-2…

just posted up jack rice's MSA interviews to our podcast channel. photos will be up soon, but some interesting bits in some of the audio, like most everyone interviewed not sure what's going on next year. vali seeming like she needs a break and wants to do hardlines and film projects, abigail hogie with some juice and gwin making it sound like some cool stuff will be going down at windrock. nothing concrete in any of them, but that's why it's rumors, right? Interviews 0:00 - Intro 1:11 - Greg Minnaar 4:44 - Marine Cabirou 6:06 - Sven Martin 11:59...

Rumour of my demise have been exaggerated. We are safe. But we are forever changed. A water & wind event of near biblical proportions hit us & has taken far more lives than can be counted. Didn't know where to make my one post, but this will be it for a long time. No politician, no plan, no design could have stopped anything that happened here. A stream I could step across took the first home at the top of it. A friend lost 10 members of his family saving his wife and kids watching his parents & relatives swept...
