Spaniard here, love me some Dak. His insights on B-podcast play a big part of the World Cup season. For me he embodies the American Cool, the good things about the US. But I understand the criticism, he is indeed getting older for DH and perhaps doesnt have the dame appeal for young fans as other riders. still, I do hope he gets a good team, gets the elusive win and rides into the sunset with his girl and his dog.

Plot twist.. His next bike might not have a stack that measures in the negatives..

The forum has spoken.. Dak truly has an international fan base of at least 1 person in many countries.. Your loss, Mondraker. You had a global star that represents the hard working people of the world and you dropped him.. So, besides a bike and sealant sponsor, we need to find Dak some outside the industry money.. I'm thinking he could bank with a good hair product care deal.. But, in all seriousness, I hope Dak finds a good deal for next season.

Even French are supporting Dak !!

I'm British and I care about Dak. He makes it hard not to care because he's a funny and decent dude. Imagine NOT rooting for the guy.

south east asian dumbass tapping in here, also support dak so that's a load of horse shit

Well I hope some bike companies are browsing this forum and see how much global appeal Dak has amongst the downhill community

LOL. Quick 45 minute parking lot job.

I root for Dak more than anyone in the field. Not because he is American. I like his story. Getting into the sport later in life. Grinding as a privateer. Coming from a humble background and a part of the world far from any DH trails. And then, sort of like Benoit, just improving year after year to the point that he was one slippery turn from winning the rainbow stripes. Now after a massive injury he got back to 4th place on 1.5 legs. Insane. I like his style too, sneaky smooth and smart racecraft. At MSA I thought...

3 riders I cheered for most are ratboy, Troy, and Dak. International racing is fun!

Big Dak fan. Not an American. I cheer for the Canadians because that's where I'm from. Beyond that I'm in it for the stories and the personalities. Dak is definately both of those

Have you seen the dude throw flatties on his warm up laps? You hate Dak you hate yourself. Gimme a break, he’s a star of the sport.

He liked a picture of my dog on IG so he gets some love from this Scottish guy

I realize you're just trying to be a dick or french or both, but that's not at all the sentiment to anyone paying attention to World Cup downhill. Riders, fans and the media have been nothing but positive about him coming back this year.

Another Dak fan, also not American.

Same. Big Dak guy, not American.

Sorry no, I'm a fan also and I'm not American.

Not exactly an innovation per se; but Raaw has started offering the option to rent a toolbox full of all their adjustments included. You get it for two weeks so you can decide if any of those adjustments make sense before you buy. And, get a discount when you do decide to buy something afterwards. Pretty cool idea. https://raawmtb.com/en-us/collections/parts/products/raaw-factory-suppo…
