A fatter pay cheque that has been well earned.

Wonder how big of a thing the switch from Fox/Shimano to sram/RS is going to be, as well as the more balanced rocky geo to über long front center/short rear on the canyons. jesse if you’re reading this, what were some of the factors that made you move from a winning setup to something completely new?

And brakes. Those new levers do have a bit of the shimano’s about them. Also looking at both the canyon pr’s - when did Troy Lee become the worst looking kit on the scene?

New drivetrain and crank represented too!

Spitballing here, but I think SRAM may have ponied up some money for this deal to keep Jesse on the books as a development rider/tester, dude is in tune with his gear and gives good feedback it seems.

Integrated bash guard. Flat top chain. Doesn't look like taped 5 dev to me, but something being hidden or new?

jesse‘s on the new sram drivetrain, cranks look really different, kinda like those 5dev cranks but taped up for secrecy🤔

he's catching up with them at the end of the month in Australia

Yes, PB Racing was on Mondraker frames during their pre-season training camp last year. But that was because Santa Cruz (their frame sponsor) couldn't get them their frames in time. So the MS Mondraker team let them borrow some back-up frames. Ben Cathro and Henry Quinney explained it on the PB podcast.

Listening to the most recent Vital Pod. It sounds like his neck still isn’t good for MTB. I bet that’s got something to do with it as well.

Going to the other side of the world for some training is a young man’s game

Seeing her ride at WBP this summer/fall was pretty outrageous. Going places for sure. Definitely got freeracer vibes. Theres an insane amount of groms here at Whistler. Looking thru the results sheets in the Phat Wednesday (local dh races) the Juniors (14-17) often occupy 25% of the top 20 times of the day. (As in 15/16 year olds beating Kovarik...) The 10-13 year olds aren't far behind. Its kinda fucked getting slaughtered by your friends 10 year old son in a race after riding the park for longer than they have been alive...
