Or just run...external routing

Dak in the B-Practice podcast had said he was in. Really good spot for 2024. To me that means he gets to stay on the bike he had a great season on. If he ends up on Mondraker then it means when he said "in a good place" he meant financialy and is getting paaaaaaaaid

BKs podcasts are so good as he just throws it out, $60k less budget compared to last year, riders keep the same salary and he takes the loss. And that sponsors are serious about reducing or even canceling enduro sponsorhip as there is simply no exposure from it. Also interesting bit about the Dyfi and how much that park does for the local comunity and that Dan has been elected as city council :D

Listen kids. There is a Tomac named John, and a whole ‘nother Lawrence family that involves riding with and wrenching for some fella’s named Palmer and McGrath, and lots of love for 20” wheels and loose-over hardpack. REMEMBER the roots of mtb dh are actually in road bikes, bmx and winter sports. Moto is just how badass people from the MTB industry figured out how to get paid for a generation… Mountain Bikes- cul de sac lifestyle approved since ‘87

Pin to mount the shock cover to.

rad ride companion w/ bernard on. he talks budget (and they're taking cuts) and that '24 is prob his last year racing.

Yeah I'd been thinking the same, a rental fleet for a bike park can easily set you back $100k or more, it would make financial sense for him to make a sweetheart deal for a fleet part of the package (a Gwin/Gwin situation, as the park fleet is also good advertising for the bike brand)

Pure speculation… I could see Gwin riding/partnering with a bike manufacturer that will benefit him outside of just racing. I.e deals on Rental bikes at Windrock and other potential ventures. The southeast gravity scene only seems to be growing, I could see him helping to open/owning other parks. With Gwin’s history of being fairly business savvy, I be surprised to see him riding for a brand purely for racing purposes.

Gwin won back to back on a production YT Tues that was untested on the WC stage. He tinkered with frame size but used parts to try and dial his fit in. It wasnt till year 3 i believe where they tried retrofitted 29er stuff. Even the Demo he won a overall on was relatively off the shelf besides different suspension links for progression changes. One could argue that it wasn't until he got to intense before his performance really started to be inconsistent but his sprinkled in injuries did not help either. If Gwin was to ride the Yeti...

I think Jeff is still welding them. He'll have the rear triangles done roughly 2 days before the first race and air mail them out.

I can’t take it anymore… 2024 Edging Championships.

Gwin to Fezzari. The algorithm has spoken.

Or the IG account went back to Intense when the team closed down.

Announcement obviously coming ……

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Agreed, he is an announcer. His job is to speak clearly so everyone listening understands what he is saying. Claudio has a pretty thick accent and English is not his first language but we could understand him. I don't know Ric, I bet he's a nice guy. However, he wasn't very good at announcing. AG came in with zero experience and did a better job of preparing (researching the athletes, asking them questions about the track, their season, their health, etc.) and a much better job speaking. Aaron was easy to understand and much more informative, all without stepping on...

Making fun of anyone's accent is juvenile and pathetic. Do better.

It was mentioned somewhere by Cathro that it's done.

I think he got better towards the end of the year. Cedric was the worst of the commenting IMO. Ric did a really good job a few years ago doing the EWS highlight videos. Seems like he is the guy in the booth moving forward so hopefully he keeps improving.
