Reminder that some of the users commenting and getting downvoted are in fact team managers 😂

Yeah. Their mum is Rebel Wilson and their dad was the volleyball in Castaway.

Exactly, it's pretty cringey that a bunch of grown-ass men are dragging this kid on the internet just because an anonymous rumor says his parents are kicking in some cash to give him a chance to chase his dream. The kid obviously has some talent and happens to have parents with higher than average means. How is this different than sending your kid to an elite ski academy? Reece on Gamux is exciting - gonna get that $100k!

Rumour of my demise have been exaggerated. We are safe. But we are forever changed. A water & wind event of near biblical proportions hit us & has taken far more lives than can be counted. Didn't know where to make my one post, but this will be it for a long time. No politician, no plan, no design could have stopped anything that happened here. A stream I could step across took the first home at the top of it. A friend lost 10 members of his family saving his wife and kids watching his parents & relatives swept...

She’s off the bike, actually rumored to be on a bench

Competitive Pokemon was not on my Vital bingo card for today lol

Are some of you even fans…? Dude’s in his 40s and podiumed arguably the gnarliest race of the year. Thought he retired a few years ago?!?

Crankworx isn't their employer though. Their employer is their sponsors. Crankworx is the competition they enter, and the platform granted to them to show their skills, market themselves as athletes & ambassadors, and ultimately prove their dollar value to said sponsors.

If one thing is clear its that we are all broadly speaking with very little data (myself included) . We don't know the structure of the event with respect to certain parties involvement (like Red Bull), what kind of revenue it produces from sponsorship, ticket sales, streaming, government subsidies (though great job on behalf of the other poster here) etc. This is one of those situations where transparency at least to the riders would go a long way. I don't think anyone is against the riders getting a fair cut, whatever that may be, if real money is changing hands...

Love hearing the firsthand experience Chubey, you rock.

Oh man, I could beat this topic with a broken stick until it returned back to life. Rampage athletes get an appearance fee ever since 2015. Why not the slope guys? Most the slope guys dont actually make that much. I did Pretty good for 15 years. Id average probably 65K USD all said and done over those 15 years. Less when I started and the bigger years in the middle. That is sponsorships and winnings and any travel budgets. BUT I would spend at least 30k of that on traveling and expenses. So that 3k a month before taxes...

Brook definitely not making himself any favours with this kind of behaviour...

Meh, sour grapes from Brook. They didn't do a "Breaking" post for every ride/rider/signing. Get over it. And if you really want people to talk about you win some races or a championship?

Was not expecting this, gmbn on propain bikes

Wow, did NOT see that coming! Guess the only mysteries left are what frame Danny is riding in NZ and where Minnaar will end up.

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