I'm not even from the USA and I'm stoked as hell for this!

Neko is some kind of sorcerer. America’s GOAT, and the hottest NKOTB racing on the same team. LFG!!!!

Neko clearly sticking with riders whose names start with A, for that triple-A grade DH flavor. #wheresthebeef

Had to pinch myself this morning Gwin to Frameworks!

USDH royal flush. So sick. Go Frameworks!

As much as I and other people have joked about this, I really did not see this coming. Merica F Yeah!

USA Dream Team for 2026 and 2027 Aaron, Anna, Asa

Gwin to Frameworks lets gooooooo!

Did you even watch talladega nights ffs?

Dak liked a picture of my two-stroke MX bike on Instagram, so he's good in my books.

I think we can stop the circle jerk and everyone pulling each others Dak’s. What a move for Jess Blewitt, such an opportunity to grow into an even more amazing racer

Which is Dak in a nutshell. Good vibes, loves having fun, but takes his performance seriously. I'm not sure why anyone would think he doesn't perform well on a "notoriously French" team when you have Dylan Maples absolutely killing it for the past few years on Commencal Mucoff.

Also not American. I really started to follow Dak after hearing him on the pod and getting the behind the scenes look at the World Cup circus. I'm way more interested in those details than I am in the highly polished WB stuff. Same reason I liked Moi Moi, Wyn and Ed.

His contributions to the B-Practice podcast are probably a big reason that Vital favors him (Just like people here love Jesse M. because he actually posts in the forum periodically). It makes them feel like they're "one of your own." Shocking... do good PR things that expand your audience and let people get to know you... and you increase your fan base and marketability. I think people really appreciate his perspective, combined with Tanner and Jason, on the races and racing in general. It's one of the more interesting podcasts to me. On top of that, his journey over the...

Personally, I'm not American, so that doesn't play into it at all. Winning doesn't make you likeable. Dak presents as a nice guy and people like that. Having a bit of a unique set up could also play into it, but I think it's mostly just the nice guy thing. People also love an underdog and a comeback story, so everyone's been cheering him on as he's steadily improving after his injuries last year.

She's been on Canyon for the last year

I don't anyone here idolizes him. He seems like a genuinely good dude, and we love it when good things happen to good people.
