Woah. Marin stealth dropping a DH rig??!

Ibi?

Brooklyn Machine Works coming back!

They're also selling their current full-suspension inventory on a BOGO deal to try to generate cash flow, allegedly because they can't afford the payments necessary to get their new models released from the manufacturer. They don't sponsor any race teams any more, and they don't make a dedicated downhill bike. They're in no position to sponsor Gwin.

Not anymore, they moved to Washington state quite some time ago.

wasn't that mentioned a while ago?

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

Ronan was seen with Alpinstar Clothing and riding a Mondraker in BK's recent vlog from DYFI, would be a quick switch

Is Ronan Dunne confirmed riding for a team yet? That rider with the handily placed banner is wearing goggle which look to be in the Irish colours.

Ahhh. Don’t mind me. I was thinking bike companies.

Myriam Nicole sure seems to be placing IG tags conveniently over anything that might identify their third rider on full fledged team gear…

Your confusing blenky with Justin Leov

Gwin and Santa Cruz 🤣

An American brand that is a name place is going to have an American rider

That would also work in another way, Blenki is also experienced in mentoring an up and coming superstar, last time it was Loic on the Lapierre team.

Brook certainly still seems to be riding Mondrakers

his IG but yeah, could also be that richie hooked him up… we will see

What if…the third rider on frameworks is Blenkinsop? I recall Neko and Sam were on TFR circa 2010 which was managed by Martin Whitely so there may be some connection there. Sam was on a few WC podiums and even has a win so that would match with the quote we have of third rider having visited the WC podium. I also feel as though Neko always speaks highly of Sam on the DT podcast post race shows. If Neko and Asa pop up in NZ I would be even more convinced of Sam being mystery rider #3.

Always throughly enjoy watching/listening to BK interviews chit chats etc

I have heard something similar that he is looking for a very simple DH bike that could be a rental fleet. No frills, not fuss. Rides well, etc. Something he would ride, too. Part of me thinks he will work with Neko to develop that bike based off the frameworks project and help fund the grassroots program? (At least I can dream?) As for racing, I'm really hoping whatever deal he has landed on, is with Dak as well. They seemed to really work well together this year and found a groove. So having them together is a proven duo...
