Kudos to that. I think the Social Media BS is just a blessing for corporate drones, they need metrics to justify their budget but on the long run I'm not sure it impacts the bottom line and more importantly contribute to make a sport and its community healthy

In my opinion, the social (esp IG) influencer personality and content has a shelf life. People are going to catch on to how disingenuous it is, and it’s going to become more and more transparent how ‘advertisey’ it is. When we make a move to work with someone of any stature, be it mega pro to local ripper / good person their social reach is far from a metric we place value on. It might seem ridiculous but we place human contact and interaction value so far beyond any social bs. I find it a shame that so many companies...

The fact of the matter is no one buys dh bikes anymore. I doubt forming a WCDH team is a successful business in any sense of the word. Why do people do it? For the love of the sport and the technical advancement of mtb as a whole. As for YouTube, take Seth’s bike hacks for example. 1.64mill subscribers, with probably way more random views on top of that. Now let’s take Aaron Gwin who has 425k insta followers. You throw Seth a few bikes, some cash to make some entertaining videos and the reach is exponentially larger than the...

I don't quite believe this yet. They literally just came out with a brand new DH bike that they went as far as doing full carbon on. The amount of time and $ that went into that seemingly would be way too much to just go and cancel it 12 months later after a test season with a middle pack rider.

That french team rumous article had me thinking (if curious look back a few pages in this thread). If RR's contract is up this year, he'll be looking for a new team, he's been on yeti for ages. Curtis Keene just retired so spesh is short at least one EWS racer this coming season. Jared Graves is close friends with Richie, so it would be plausible for him to move to the Big S next season. And I'm sure specialized can pay him a ton more than yeti can. This also could constitute big changes to specialized factory racing, in...

11/25/2019 6:38pm Ric, I agree with you bigtime. The alloy 29er was basically the same as what they have now but going from Sram to Fox is a big deal. For most of us we would not really notice, but the pro's can tell. It is an important part of their set up. Why do you think Gwinn never leaves from Fox...

He may not be racing WC these days but he is a pretty regular name at Crankkworks and has had some good results recently. WC and Redbull aren't the only way to race mountain bikes and make a living off of it.

I totally agree, I am just saying Red Bull contracts are not quite forever and this isn't a Tanner Hall like situation.

11/15/2019 6:40pm Pretty sure it was not. The 2019 Glory was carbon, if you look at the 29er version they had it was alloy but also the head tube area was pretty different from the carbon. If all they wanted to do was run 29 wheels it would have been a angle set and and put the rear wheel in the longest...

11/10/2019 6:11am Not justifying people being dicks, however I think the issue with E bikes is the name is almost an oxy moron. A bike is something propelled by human movement. An e bike is the similar but with one massive difference, a motor. So to most people they are not the same and should not be referred to as such. Never...

11/7/2019 7:08pm Great listen, Reece get's it about the insurance stuff. I have time when that kid has something to say. It is hard to believe that 85% of these guys risk their lives and hardly have any type of insurance (or make fuck all). I can not see these companies lining up to insure guys for Loose Fest.
