Not sure why Van's should pay his bills? It's terrible what happened but its pipe. Multipule people ended up in hospital at the contest. Luckily one had a helmet on. Did the sponsor of the WC pay all of Brook's bills? It would be great if the organizations would provide insurance for anyone in the organization doing their events but that would cost money so we know that's not happening

I still have my pair. They are heavy and uncomfortable IMO. A downgrade from the 661 Filters I wore beforehand. My casual shoes were Half Cabs for a long time. I recently ordered a new pair and they changed the width so narrow they were unwearable to me.

A few left... Dylan Maples - Commencal Muc-Off Ollie Davis - Commencal Schwalbe Mark Wallace - local Canadian brand

Would be interesting to see Vans push into MTB... their shoes are already used to a great extent by park rats and freeriders and I am sure they have the $$$ to entice Semenuk if they choose to use him to jump into the MTB world 'officially'. Also wonder how this all coincides with Emil having more of a presence at Etnies. On a side note, the Etnies Culvert Mid shoes are my current favourite shoes to ride in so I appreciate all the effort they have put into their MTB range.

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

ALN off of Rocky Mountain. @stoic_machine , any other news you wanna share?

I also live in a town with a Mondraker dealer, they just have not sold as well historically considering the pricing. These days maybe they do since they are closer in pricing to the increases we've seen from everyone else. But I am not sure they ever really made a dent in a market.

I can’t be the only one wondering where in the hell Mondraker is pulling all this money from, right? Opening a US based office and funding a factory DH race team and a satellite WC DH team during one of the lowest points the bike industry has been in. Over the last 5 years I can count on one hand how many Mondraker bikes I’ve seen in the flesh… are they much larger outside of ‘Murrica?

Lemoine to Commencal

Judging by the way he was riding Saturday it won't take him long at all!

I'd love to see him get back to the level he was at when he was team mates with Sam Hill.

Geeeet up mikeeey

Spotted EX MS Mondraker rider Mike Jones being handing a New 2024 Mondraker Summum at Dyfi Bike park last weekend. Seems to be riding with Bristol Based “Sterlands Cycle Service” riders who I know Mark Sterland the owner and Josh the Manager worked for MS Mondraker before. Apparently they're partnering up with Mondraker UK to develop a WC/National Team with Mike and another couple of riders Spotted in an Adam Brayton Vlog too!! Now this is something to get excited about. The King of the valleys is back!!!

Im onboard with Wallace getting a contract with Forbidden which would explain Why their Junior is moving on after a great season. Brook back to mondraker would be a shocker though.

UK flavor team news today, Privateer will be supporting local enduro ripper Christo Gallagher.

Thank you for the minute chapter content breakdown-huge value.

I think Mark Wallace signs with Forbidden and Brook signs with Mondraker’s recently announced factory team

Definitely doesn’t own it
