All

I bet a newborn baby wrapped in a blanket would drop like a cannon ball.

Stamp it.

i dont know how things play out for Ed... But if this means no WynTV and no Ed Bull Media House next year... as well as a limited Vital Raw schedule again? we're up a certain creek without a particular paddle ideal scenario would be wyn and ed teaming up, figuratively and literally, and being able to cover the races with each other. wyn more on interviews and ed more on riding. i dunno... a man can dream

He talked a bit about it in the B-Practice podcast. He mentioned Scott clothing and Bluegrass helmets.

Wait? Which hardline? This is the real team rumours were all here for

I for one did stop watching his youtube channel. It started to feel too much like an info-mercial trying to sell you something. I really enjoy about 50-60% of it, but difficult to sit through the rest. Very much self-promoting but I also get it. He has a great thing going and I respect what he has built. Almost like he turns on the camera and has a different personality that is pushing his product. His riding style is amazing though.

I think you are all under estimating the need for Aaron to get dragged up to Asa's speed. He can mentor him on everything else, but he needs the young speed and young line choices. He knows exactly what he's doing Mr Gwin. Why do you think he is so wealthy, no one would choice kenda tyres for no reason.

I think Adidas being a title sponsor of the Norco team is pretty big news. They are a huge and well recognised brand, so it's a great thing for mountain biking.

Ed Masters will be taking on a new role at the marketing department of Pivot according to the recent Stay on your bike Podcast with BK

As Asa would say, for sure!

Gwin is a full part of the team. They approached shared sponsors and combined all budgets to make the finances work. Sounds like Gwin gets paid what he is used to, and Frameworks probably makes out with more budget and even more attention from sponsors and fans now that Gwinner is with them.

I am pretty sure Neko has a good feeling how things are with Gwin. He would never bring him in to ruin Asa. I trust he knows what he is doing.

Aaron Gwin is going to be on a podium. Maybe that first race in Korea?

This just in.... Jack Moir, Laurie Greenland and Remi Meier- Smith set to create their own adventure team knocking off epic bike and surf spots around the globe!

You can't pull Trump jokes on Vital bro. Vital is America first...

Some would say a million dollar question. People could argue Cannondale - the former MTB Marketing Director/Head of Marketing of GT who helped get Brage on the full GT program (in addition to others helping retain and build with him after he was aboard) however you want to use corporate jargonese is now the MTB Marketing Director/Head at Cannondale. However, personally, I don't see it a great fit... I wouldn't be surprised if it'll come down to Trek, Commencal, Spesh, or sneaky wildcard Nukeproof. Brands who either "have" money or are willing to use whatever to build (or re-build in...

Very cool that Pivot gets an American rider. Very smart move.

start a new freaking thread if you want to talk about that stuff.

Well, considered yourself lucky that PFR did not reach out to you for you to be part of their team nor does the manager wants to sleep with you. Besides, they been together for 2 or 3 years at this point. You would think that if it was as predatory as you are making it out to be he would have dumped her pretty quick. To be clear, I was also questioning the whole thing early on when they kind of went public, but I reserved my judgment because I have no clue how the whole thing came to be...
