Human interaction-name of the game. My wife has a poor social media 'following' when it comes to numbers, but she is a MTB legend and currently has a career teaching people how to ride MTB's through one on ones and events. I've seen the human interactions work with her, people show up to the next event with some product she endorses, its unreal actually. So, yeah, props to Lars and Transition for seeing that important, I do as well in my job at TLD. Anyway-Team Rumors!! This week was heavy with brands parting ways with athletes and vice versa, cant...

It’s definitely not a ticket to sales, just lazy easy stats for marketing departments tbh. There was a podcast somewhere where the brand being interviewed was working off social media numbers rather than sales information. 🤯 I can’t remember who or where right now. Also are ig followers the biggest spenders? The ones I know certainly aren’t.

Mark Matthews is making marins look like magic on instagram. That guy is a great example of a good influencer in MTB. Hell, I never in my life wanted a Marin except for some old hardtail some bike mag reviewed in 1999 because I was 13, now they're on my radar. So I'd say there's some merit to the social media guys for sure.

What's to say that the best racers couldnt also be insta/YouTube influencers. Yes, the best racers dedicate their entire lives to racing bikes. Hours in the gym, laps on laps on laps. . .etc. Computer influenced training. All the stuff. But maybe we are talking about an evolution where - the fastest/rowdiest/gnarliest - riders also own and manage their own social media profiles. If we are talking about a cutthroat scenario where average riders with lots of followers are actually taking funding from racers who make their livelihood from results , then I feel like the next progression of the...

“It might seem ridiculous but we place human contact and interaction value so far beyond any social bs.” This is pure magic and I hope it’s working... we’ve recently had the pleasure of being toured around the trails of Phoenix by Darch. One of the most kind folks you could bump into on a bike and kicking A$$ on a new sentinel at 75 years young. Keep doing what you’re doing Transition!

In my opinion, the social (esp IG) influencer personality and content has a shelf life. People are going to catch on to how disingenuous it is, and it’s going to become more and more transparent how ‘advertisey’ it is. When we make a move to work with someone of any stature, be it mega pro to local ripper / good person their social reach is far from a metric we place value on. It might seem ridiculous but we place human contact and interaction value so far beyond any social bs. I find it a shame that so many companies...

ebikes and really bad youtubers stealing DH budget. It's up to you people, stop sharing these crappy videos of people doing nothing inspiring. As for ebikes, nothing we can do to stop the industry coddling to it.

!!spd has plenty of range. If you lack the legs get a motor. I actually was able to spin easier on an old Sram XX 2x10 so I'm not sure what you're going on about.
