Although the PFR team looks more relaxed than other factory teams, it does not make them a bad team. Sure, it is not a big factory team with a big budget, but they have their system that works for them and had some pretty good seasons in the past - 2023 and 2024 were pretty good. I think the addition of Dylan and a fired up Roger Viera is going to elevate this team and make them more competitive. Dylan is going to do great at PFR!

Will be interesting contrast for Dylan going from what looks like one of the most professional teams to what looks like the most unprofessional. The Pivot DH bike does look pretty sick. If Dylan can put his head down and not get caught up in team drama he should be good.

Reasons why I love the vital community. You guys would be having a straightener if this was pinkbike. Hope Laurie gets something decent he's a sick rider and good dude too.... (A)

Hey there Vital friend. Sorry for my bad tone last night. It’s cool of you to say that. I’m a dad, and Greenland’s story is close to my heart, so I overreacted when I wrote my post. This very good little film is why I know about Laurie’s struggles growing up. The Anthill guys made it, and it’s a great watch. ✌🏻

Laurie is one of my favorite riders, really nice dude. I wish the best for him and I really hope he’s been picked up by a good team and is just waiting to announce it for dramatic effect. I’ve been checking a few times a day

I'm guessing that it's a combination of Trump wanting Greenland (the country) and his recent deed in Venezuela..

I heard Trump is trying to buy him....

Appreciate the kind words 🙏 that genuinely means a lot. We try. We keep trying. And yeah, when I say we, I really do mean me. Still just one bloke doing everything: product, riders, logistics, emails at stupid o’clock, the lot. No staff, no big safety net. Just belief and stubbornness. The industry doesn’t make it easy for small independents. The big dogs have deeper pockets and louder voices, but that was always kind of the point. Do cool shit, build something authentic, and if it ruffles a few feathers along the way, so be it. I’m proud that Viris...

This is the vibe of Frameworks

I think the other racers could learn a thing or two from Aaron with how he conducts himself. this interview is a prime example of a professional athlete getting the news out about new deals, and letting us in behind the scenes so to speak of how these deals come together and how it can work in a race season. Kudos to Aaron, Frameworks team and Vital for providing this. Good luck on the season ahead!

What a wild turn of events. I was watching his skiing stories on Insta yesterday and thought to myself that he won't be a pro bike racer again, feeling kinda bad for the dude because he's had such tough luck these last few years, but can swing off of it when on it. Stoked he got a ride for next year and hope he can keep it rubber side down to show the potential he has.

Thanks Spomer. Good listen

Can't wait to watch Ed Bull Media's shaky ass Instagram live video of the timing board.

what? - pretty simple really, bleed, massage aggressively, check bleed, draw a little vacuum on caliper... Repressure system and let balance, close up, done. When aligning pads/rotor, Pull aggressively to get the distance... every couple of rides pull the levers hard make sure pistons are advancing. I've seen a few guys who drag their brakes with little pressure have issues and a simple Hard few pulls on the levers make them feel fine again.... doesnt it actually say this in the Manual? If you follow this... no issues and simple stuff.

pre kids - lower service every month, meticulously maintained post kids - oh cool the fork has air in it still, good enough

This is why I bought a Burgtec stem and bars. If they support the things I care about I’ll support them. If nothing else, Bryceland and Brage? Respect. Adding Frameworks and the Goodman team just makes me more hyped.

I just want to bump this for posterity. 😘

schroeder and i had a good hour-long podcast with gwin this morning. it'll be up tomorrow morning. he speaks pretty freely about everything and how it all works.

Also, the fact that AG and Dak have both secured three year contracts is huge for US downhill !
