Personally, I'm not American, so that doesn't play into it at all. Winning doesn't make you likeable. Dak presents as a nice guy and people like that. Having a bit of a unique set up could also play into it, but I think it's mostly just the nice guy thing. People also love an underdog and a comeback story, so everyone's been cheering him on as he's steadily improving after his injuries last year.

@DontWorryImAPilot thanks for the idea. We found Daks new kit and teammates.

Time for Only Ears. That would probably be huge. Damn, someone already got the domain.

Copilot is just a dressed up Clippy

After some zoom-ins, some squints, and sending to my friends at Law & Order SVU for some "enhance" action: It looks like Dak will be racing the Trans Robitussin race next year on MS Beef Tallow Tombraider. I think they were riding Crestlines in 2025. AI is SO cool.

Now it all makes sense!

God I love you nerds...

I am not one to dis someone but that guy is sooooo annoying announcing DH. He seems perfect for the pits and maybe in corral post race but commentating he is super in accurate with what he is saying - ____ ALMOST OUT THE FRONT DOOR every 3rd rider. The nonsense that dribbles out of him is just an embarrassment. It's gotta be crazy hard but they need to replace him. Rewatching all the races from 2025 and if my wife is the room I have to put headphones so she doesnt have listen to him!

There is many guys getting along very well with THC.

Greenland to Frameworks?

Somebody has hit the egg nog early

I like the idea of pitching a bunch of Jesse rumors and seeing if any stick. I've got 2 that are 100% confirmed to be true - I saw his shoe in an instagram post - but you guys can come up fake ones if you'd like. Jesse Melamed has signed a deal with Velosolutions to open the first downhill pump track in Squamish. It'll be called "Committing Flowelonies" and feature full speed jump lines into flat 180º switchbacks. SORCA intends to add five more "Downie Pumpies" in the next two years in the hopes of hosting an EDR World...

Actually today, in about 20 minutes!

Pinky with a long term deal is great deal for both sides.. Ryan is young with a lot of potential and 3 years will let everyone grow together.. It will be fun to watch him progress..

@jessemelamed You're the man. Don't know what you'll be focusing on next, but can't wait to see what it is.

@jessemelamed you’re a legend. Following your journey is one of the main reasons I kept riding and having fun on my bike. All the best for the future, and hopefully part of that future is right here contributing to the rumors 😉
