All

Finally I can go to bed and sleep peacefully, knowing we'll see the Gwinner race again

Woooo Glad to see AG is racing. Mikey Delesalle has some recent socials on a Commencal, but then this video of him riding in Temecula:

On the https://www.redbull.com/us-en/athlete/aaron-gwin link, it mentions Intense under the "other partners" section. Might be dated information, or he might be racing the new frames he had a hand in developing. I hope the latter is the case

NICE!

No longer a mystery....

C'mon guys...weird discussion really If you use political correctness as a way of critique against someone, you're missing the point. If a rider gets a contract or not, is down to team owners. In times of Internet, there are many different reasons to hire a rider or not, and they're not always related to the rider him/herself. But that's not really up to you. That leaves the question: what do you gain from hating publicly on someone you don't even know. And even worse, hiding behind a username at the same time. Just try and find a better pasttime, it'll...

Notoriety amongst the participants in mountain biking’s most important forum thread?

People losing livelihoods…. They race bikes it’s literally a dream job. It’s not like there factory workers in a war torn third world country. Most pro athletes come from very wealthy family’s you don’t see kids from the hood racing world cups.I’m sure she will be just fine… Dude can say what he wants or was that too many aggressions for your pc world.

I don't know exactly what kind of injury Gwin had, but I've had an elbow injury myself. Fell awkwardly at the end of the season, threw my hand out by reflex and had my arm facing the wrong way. Immediately tucked it back and began running and screaming. End of the radius was shattered plus the ligaments. Had surgery beginning of December, then a lot of painful rehab and I was playing basketball come march and I was back on the bike in May. The nice titanium screw is still a keeper. Of course injuries differ and no rehab matches...

Time to dust off an old favorite... #teamrumors2011

Scuderia Forbidden/Ferrari?

At this rate they'll announce Gwin and Bex this month, and then Lewis Hamilton for 2026...

Much like the current bike market, it is a buyers market for sponsored athletes as well. Rumored that Danny Hart took a 50-60% pay cut from Cube to Nukeproof. Neko spoke about it also, you can get fast/talented riders for cheap this season.

Making fun of paint pants dress disorder will get you some haterade. "positive" thoughts only or the positive police will assign all their anger to you. But look folks, this is blank text and yellow facial expressions world. It's not how we talk in the real world. Lots of nuance. Spomer gets headaches from us and doesn't deserve it having to moderate as we go off rails. In terms of Katy's difficulties, I see all sides of it. My buddy in college was a total basket case of hilariousness with severe dyslexia but he leaned into it and would get...

Gwin returning to a previous sponsor.

He's so excited he didn't change out of his paint clothes to go give the new bike a rip.

He looks happy.

On a positive note, we will get to see Frotha go racing again this year. Signed up under RAW Fusion Racing.

Oook so gentlemen, this has been a nice couple of months following this thread, we had good fun. So at this point of the conversation I guess I'll see myself out to avoid any new nonsense comment about Katy or any other women. Grow up, FFS.

“ MoscoOne wrote: Katy couldnt fill in her forms properly.“ Making fun of a rider for having dyslexia, particularly when they have very recently addressed publicly that it’s a hard thing for them to be open about due to teasing and bullying, is just truly low behaviour and is not appropriate on this forum or anywhere else. If this is something you would do, or think is acceptable, please fuck off.
