This deserves its own thread, but unless you are looking at the contract first hand, take everything with a grain of salt. I've negotiated on behalf of a handful of professional athletes in adjacent sports as an "agent" (LOL) and I've also watched people flat lie about what they were making to feel better about themselves. I get it. Its a topic riddled with insecurity. While I'd wager there are more athletes making $100-200K+ than most think (I'm including influencer types and freeriders in this), its a terrible career choice in every sense of the word "choice". If I was...

Bulldog can't fool me. ENHANCE

Am I the only one who thinks waiting so long to announce this stuff has actually kind of taken the excitement out of it? I was pretty pumped after the new years but the excitement has kind of wore off now.

To be fair, he doesn't even know haha It's now Monday, so I guess the announcemnt wasn't today. Stay tuned for tomorrow...

Last year I introduced a friend who is s trial-bike guy to the WC and he is now a fan too. Been feeding him snippets from this amazing thread about the "silly season". Yesterday, he asked me:" any news from Mondraker?" Told him "the espionage things were...

Can't sort out the second champion but F me sideways... If Connor and Danny Hart are on the same team next year there's gonna be a lot of no talking and corner slapppping going on with that team. My two favorite racers on one team!? Hot damn! Make it be true!

In a big turn of events, Dak turns to international hand modeling and quits racing to protect the valuable hands.

Not the hero we wanted. The hero we needed. I hope Dak is laughing his ass off no matter what.

bro's recognizing peoples hands now.... this thread is getting so good and weird at the same time. When someone knows what someones toes looks like I'll bow out. Carry on.

MS Intense is a reality. David Trummer (AUT), Eleonora Farina (ITA), Jacob Dickson (IRL) and Tuhoto Ariki Pene (NZ). So, the team is real, but no Dak. Waiting on his Mondraker announcement...
