Huh?

Race team vibe im here for. Brage just doesn’t do it for me. The metal, the vibe, the approach turns me off. Riding is mental but the style is not there for me - I’m sure I’ll get torched for this take but it’s just how I feel. Tippe is the same…we get it, you’re that guy. But to be fair I was sick of his schrik 25 years ago. Effortless style does it for me. Maybe just coincidence but Kamloops style (Tippie aside) is my jam. Aggy, Matty Miles, Hunter Paul, Matt Hunter. Those guys ride like I imagine...

Man it’s wild how the marketing works / doesn’t and on who. No interest in those guys in the slightest, both annoy me frankly. But then a guy like greg would get me to consider buying any bike. ..well done Norco.

Brage with Norco. What a move.

Brage on Norco!!

Now? I've been on MTBR long enough to witness the crash outs 10+ years ago. always remember, you are wrong, will always be wrong and you don't know shit about anything when it comes to suspension grand wizard Dougal (doctor, engineer, inventor, ONZ)

It's not a knowledge or concept problem. It's an attitude problem. PVD is TOXIC.

add dougal to that list now, Hes completely ignoring physics because he believes.

That guy continues to strive for the asshole of the year award. Any validity of his opinion has been removed by that kneepad/short gap and that’s even before we talk about his “low IQ” dismissal of everyone who dares to disagree with him 😂

I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but this seems like a good reason to remind everyone why we love Brage and want good things for him:

this I did hear from a few privateer teams and non paddock partner brands/editorial The UCI team fees cover media rights for the 20-25 teams, and rhey have access to an additional additional content pool of WBD stuff if not in that group your team/brand has to pay for media rights. there is no fee for photography, just video. And what breaks down to essentially $300/round seems reasonable Still not sure how anyone's lost their job or coverage has been restricted. other rhan there no longer being 50 kids with video cameras in the finish corral shooting for kicks World...

Hi, long time WC media guy here (14 years long).. I'm also very curious to hear some names and facts about this from you But in the meantime let me share some of my own. Each team is allowed to register photographers and videographers (each team then receives a set number of photo and video bibs for the season). if someone doesnt work for a team they can register as independent media once they have letters of assignment from a verified media outlet. there are little to no restrictions as to what can be shot/posted. This hasnt changed since the...

I think Adidas being a title sponsor of the Norco team is pretty big news. They are a huge and well recognised brand, so it's a great thing for mountain biking.

Ah my bad.
