While strait’s story is amazing and I don’t want to take anything away from his career. There is a big difference between doing well in certain events in the early days of free ride competition as a teen and having the most viewed video on the biggest mtb outlet be a video of you running around on a push bike. the entire mtb world has effectively watched Jackson grow up on a bike. His parents finding the right balance between shielding and growing his career is a major reason he’s in such a good position today. And there have definitely...

Jackson is pretty much mtb’s first child prodigy. There have been some incredible accomplishments by teenagers in the past. But as far as a kid coming up on modern bikes and having a universally developed brand that hasn’t been done before and Jackson’s father/family has a lot to do with that. If anyone is qualified to have a say on Jackson’s immediate future it is his family. And his family should absolutely be asking for jackson to be paid at a level very uncommon for someone his age. Cause that kid is going to sell bikes for a very long...

this is my first hearing of these rumors, but one thing to point out - he is 17 and is a minor (at least would be in the US), legally I believe he would require a parent to be cosigner on any contracts. just a thought that at least until he's 18 he likely needs his parents involvement.

He basically took Trek along with him to Miranda. I don't think you'd have to dig too far to find that Trek was probably pretty heavily involved with finding him that spot and making that deal happen. This is the shitty thing about rumours too. Jackson is one hell of a marketable guy, with huge social media presence and skills in two sides of our sport. He should be getting paid! He's also, what...16? 17? I would hope that his Dad is helping him out with major decisions! It sucks that turns into "buddy is asking for too much and...

Guys..... There's not nearly enough talk about Huffy's new DH team in this thread. Someone knows, spill the beaaaaaaaaaaans. Who's on it.

There’s a list of his sponsors on his IG here https://www.instagram.com/kylewarnermtb/?hl=en

He has an injury that could limit his ability to perform his job indefinitely. I hope that it does not and that he’s able to recover fully to be able to continue his mtb career, and living life to the fullest.

It’s relevant. He’s an athlete that was injured by something some people are being forced to take in order to continue their job. This affects his career at least temporarily and possibly for life.

Why?

Probably cause most people make mistakes and he is one of the most talented and accomplished riders in his sport. If everyone was judged solely on their lowest moments then the world would be a pretty sad place. I’d be willling to bet most men zink’s age has used the word faggot derogatorily. It was extremely popular among my generation to the point to many of us it no longer was really tied to homophobia. South park has a great episode about it. Beyond that everyone has done regrettable things to others or just being reckless. I stopped using that...

Yep good to be closed minded and not listen to peoples experiences 👎

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7inaTiDKaU Kyle Warner has adverse reaction to covid jab. Interesting interview here. Hope he’s alright and recovers.

I mean, YT yanked his distribution from him, so I’d be pretty bitter too.

My understanding is Kona went for equal pay for male and female athletes, rather than lifting Miranda’s they dropped connors and both riders are now leaving and the Kona factory team DH and enduro is going away
