I'm pretty sure that he owns some bike shops back home in South Africa. And surely a comfortable home.

8/8/2023 1:07pm Let's all hope that the GOAT of Downhill can afford to retire comfortably after all these years of being at the sharp end of the sport.

8/7/2023 2:27pm If that is a concern around the Downhill pits, I imagine the enduro crews are having a hard time sleeping.

8/7/2023 7:36am Highlights for me: - Tahnee's Sender. Such a sleek looking frame with a well executed paint scheme - Nina's shoes - All the custom CB Mallets. I love the little details.

8/7/2023 7:33am What a year for Atherton. Three different riders on the top step with their product this year. For the brand I feel this accomplishment is much more impressive than one rider dominating. Can we get Greg a couple of extra pumps in that rear tire, or maybe an insert? It seems this year he has had more flats when points...

8/2/2023 7:59am There is a great top to bottom run in Adam Brayton's latest vlog. He attaches the camera to the bars. I'm not sure if this is a weird British Cycling Federation rule popping up again or a stylistic choice. Either way I like it. He does get tore up at the end. IF you are squeamish about that stuff don't...

Losing the front becomes a self fulfiling prophesy. You wash the front, so lose confidence, so start hanging off the back, so lose grip......so wash the front.

7/25/2023 9:53am This is a complex question. A mountain bikes first purpose is to get you excited about riding so that you ride more. Are you going to stay excited about a $700 used bike for very long? probably not, but if you absolutely hate riding this bike than by all means do it. But understand you'll probably want to start saving...

Anyone find any footage of the gap to slab to mega fucked left hander. I understand why there wasn't a live feed cam there but it would have been a blast to see the action from that spot. Also what a great race.

My guess is that GG is being hit pretty hard with the bike market glut. So many big brands are blowing out bikes at 25% off because they overproduced, it's hard to compete. They're probably making some really hard cost decisions right now, and ending sponsorship deals is a not uncommon one

2.5 years seems like an odd duration for a sponsorship deal... Regardless, that post is a pretty good example of how you depart from a sponsor, even if it's unexpected (at least that's how I read it).
