Ya can’t just keep popping in here like a regular-ass person. It freaks me out … It’s Benoit, innit? Fabian talking English to throw us off, not something obvious like a reflection on a chrome espresso machine handle. I mean, who’d do that …

I was just thinking, with Gwin buying Windrock besides the obvious of it being an investment to make money off the bike park. He is working towards a moto style sort of training compound eg: Bakers Factory, Club MX, Star Farm. Gwin and Dak are both moto guys so they know how that works. Whether it be training a team he's managing or being a third party other teams pay for his services. Tons of lodging on site and riding Windrock every day along with training and riding against other world cup athletes is a huge advantage.

A lot of confused people posting in this thread. IFR for the last few years has been owned by Aaron and run by Todd Schumlick. Intense is no longer sponsoring the team, but the team will likely continue with a new headline sponsor. This will not be Frameworks. Neko has Martin Whiteley on board to run Frameworks team with Neko, Angel and Asa signed. Dak is on a new team, not with Aaron. This may be MS Intense, which used to be MS Mondraker.

You're more concise than I. Thanks. MS Racing is the only team in DH currently that maintains a singular brand identity that I can call off top of my head. The Specialized Gravity team is owned separate of Specialized even and were named differently in years prior. I have high hopes for some mid-year shake ups in the DH sponsorship realm with Monster Energy putting some muscle behind the US series. Whoever their marketing guru is will hopefully feed Clay and company some other contacts looking to product market to gravity. I've already noticed a few corporate brands slipping DH/Enduro...

We actually blocked you. Because of all the other crap not the thinking something is too progressive. You’re actually the only person we’ve ever blocked. I guess you get some sort of an award or something. Not sure it’s one I’d want…

That’s because they’re not stupid enough yo be goaded into an argument with a pathetic child. You clearly have an issue with them so man up and deal with it in private.

I wonder how ESO/WBD plan to get more venues, while at the same time, they want to the disciplines to become more professional? Looking back at the EWS, it appears the boom a couple years back was fostered due to the nonprofessionalism of the sport, aka the spirit of Enduro. And thereby I mean freedom to have multi-day events, more or less climbing in and out of stages/time on course prior to racing/assistence e.g. Even a different race format. And also the enthusiasm of a riding community to showcase local riding to the rest of the world, or so it...

Professional mountain bike racing exists as a marketing tool for bicycle related business and adjacents. The largest market for mountain bike riders is in North America, but yet I would venture interest in professional racing per rider is the lowest in North America. That means huge amounts of potential growth. The UCI/ESO/WB has shown little interest in developing this market so of course someone else has stepped in. It has been well established mtb racing is not a prize money venture, so riders will go where they are told to go… which will be where the most amount of eyes...
