Ibi?

Isn't Kona a Canadian brand?

Dunne, Dak, Pinkerton... I love saying it.

The "California" is in Yeti colors so that settles it!

Trek, Specialized…

I said before, Gwin to ride Specialized frames on his own program with a few youngsters below him. Specialized will be the demo fleet for Windrock and make a good pair of Specialized and Redbull funding Windrock (possible Dh series?) since the Monster Dh race series isn't going to Windrock from Redbull/Monster affiliations.

Is Ryders father Randy Lawrence? The pro moto super trainer. Makes sense to see Todd Schumlick leave then. Dad's got it sorted. He's also handy on a bike.

Considering Greg’s move to Norco this is more relevant and worth a read , shame Mark Wallace isn’t on the team as well……. https://www.pinkbike.com/news/the-inside-scoop-on-norcos-downhill-proto…

I (and many others) am about 99% sure that's Ryder Lawrence. #1: the profile looks like him #2: He's been riding Intense his whole life pretty much. His dad (Randy) is friends with the Intense crew. Him getting an intense ride has been a foregone conclusion for a while, especially as his results are solid. #3: He was riding with Louise Ferguson in California as evidenced by their Instagram stories.

Pretty much what I said a few back....Lou F, Joe B, Oscar G, and likely Ryder Lawrence instead of Sherlock

Pinky to mondraker with dak and Dunne

we all know the struggles of getting those bars in the back so they fit.

Announcement obviously coming ……

Re: GOAT - props to whoever dug up and posted about the Gwen Van Lingen hire in the Norco marketing dept. Sounds like she was the catalyst for this relationship.

I don't know. I also have heard from many people in the business that qualitatively, having racers on a world cup team does not amount to as many sales as you think. The costs of putting frames on a team etc might even out what you sell. Look at Revel for example, sell many many bikes...no world cup team. I am certain another example is mondraker the last few years. No one was like, I'm stoked on that mondraker world cup squad, I'm buying that bike. Unfortunately, i guess, sales fall into the marketing/influencer/review bucket. Then there is price and...

I haven't seen Greg that excited in a while. Great interview. I bet the resumes are pouring into the Source. Will really be interesting to see how this goes.

It sounds like GM is absolutely stoked on the bike and the engineers behind it. He talked a lot about having a racing mindset embedded within the team too. He sounds very very confident coming into this season.

the first question and answer in our video is about that.

The GOAT joins NFR whoop whoop 🙌 I know it was already posted previously but had to get in on the excitement lol 😂
