Semenuk in Vans? After years on Etnies and helping to launch their mtb division. edit: also no longer mentions them in his IG bio

Super-nought happening. I don't actually know, that was just the only time I was going to get to make that joke. It would be sick to see Brook on a forbidden.

Never mind. This is the Southridge DH Chosen One: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2GbylUvsr3/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Austin and Teagan both won by 8 seconds.

I had frustration with a Scott ransom- they put bushings at the trunninon shock mount and they kept getting wallowed out and developing play. Eventually found some replacements on McMaster that could be made to work with a file. like you have this awesome carbon super bike being let down by the only spot they chose bushings. Why they use bushings? Save 10g? Scott always does some weird stuff- when 99% of the design is awesome.

Guys… GUYS! This is a BIG ONE:

Breeden on the M1 with Ohlins. Trummer on the M1 with Fox. Dunne on what sure looks like the proto Mondraker with adjustable seatstay bridge.

Looks like Intense - MS is confirmed. David Trummer on what looks like a raw alloy M1

First guess is that looks like a commencal.

Union team will be on trek frames, all sram/rockshox transmission suspensions and brakes, enve wheels and still on deity. I've seen one of them on the hills.

THIBAUT DAPRELA ON CANYON CLLCTV - def didn't see this coming! press release below THE CANYON CLLCTV DH TEAM WELCOMES FRENCH FASTMAN THIBAUT DAPRELA The Canyon CLLCTV is starting 2024 with a bang, welcoming one of the fastest riders in the men's DH field to the team: Thibaut Daprela. At just 22 years old, Thibaut has already racked up an impressive list of wins. From multiple Elite World Cup victories to clinching the overall title twice as a junior, Daprela’s mind-blowing pace and aggressive riding style have delivered incredible results. “I’m very proud to be part of the Canyon CLLCTV...

Banderia and Craik to Scott Hugo Marini on Canyon Factory most likely, Antoine Pierron was already on the Canyon Pirelli team for a season and left, so can't see him going back. Ollie Davis is on a Commencal team I think.

All this talk and no one has thought to mention who will Santa Cruz pick up since Greg is gone. Pinkerton to the syndicate? Makes sense to me since pon owns GT and they also dropped their factory team.

Oli Davies is off contract, fits the tall and lanky build and had a good season last year which would have raised his stocks.

if intense factory racing isn't intense factory racing because intense isn't a sponsor, that means intense factory racing is shutdown/dissolved/whatever you want to call it. even if there is a team w/ the same management/players, it won't be called intense factory racing therefore intense factory racing ceases to exist, right?

I don’t care what J Bro says, shorts are in!
