Some insights onto what Nukeproof Axess Racing will be running next year: Looks like RockShox, Leatt Gear, Schwalbe Tires, SRAM (?)

Vali just posted that she’s off Sweet Protection due to new team sponsorship deals.. don’t think I’ve seen anyone make a post like that before?

Vital’s B Practice Podcast

I’d ask for my money back if I could… Jokes, love your work, keep it up.

Jokes on you for listening to that shitty podcast

Dak to Scott confirmed by secret squirrels

Soon they’ll be the best and only New Zealand running podcast if KB keeps this new shit up!

I was the one who originally floated the idea of maples to frameworks in the forum, people could have just read that and assumed I knew something.. but I didn’t, was just going off nekos vibe when commentating his runs. OTB podcast quite confidently said maples to pivot last episode.. but they are practically a bikepacking podcast now so can they really be relied on for mtb news? Hard to say.

Joining Vali on Commencal Schwalbe ? Extended family comment in post

I like the idea of pitching a bunch of Jesse rumors and seeing if any stick. I've got 2 that are 100% confirmed to be true - I saw his shoe in an instagram post - but you guys can come up fake ones if you'd like. Jesse Melamed has signed a deal with Velosolutions to open the first downhill pump track in Squamish. It'll be called "Committing Flowelonies" and feature full speed jump lines into flat 180º switchbacks. SORCA intends to add five more "Downie Pumpies" in the next two years in the hopes of hosting an EDR World...

Not correlated! I know that Alan, who's in charge of Enduro, is very committed. He is doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make changes that will help Enduro, I am excited for what he has in store. Excited enough to come out of retirement for a race or two in the future. Masters class is only a few years away for me.

I look forward to Jesse having more time to dedicate to trolling all of us nerds. His former teammate Remi seems to be doing well over at quarter hp. Hope he's happy with whatever he ends up doing. He legitimately seems like one of the nicest guys in mtb racing.

Cat is finally out of the bag so here is the rest of that shoe pic...

Thanks for all the love Vital! My goal is to continue a career that allows me to contribute to another 1000 pages of the tech rumour thread.

Pinky has just signed another three years with Mondraker! Does that mean we will hear from Dak soon? https://www.instagram.com/p/DSaJLaZFN6D/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share…

Axess and Nukeproof seem pretty obvious by now.

Pretty much doomed to break a bunch of shit now.

I have, thanks for noticing!
