All

back in college I wrenched with a guy that knew the guys who ran Kink BMX. he also had a key to their private warehouse skatepark (the one with the samhain skull wall ride). just a couple mini ramps, but we often stayed and rode very late. Tony Hamlin was riding for them at the time, so I'd see him there and around town fairly frequently riding street. not gonna name names on this one, but back when I raced DH, i was on an amateur team for 2 years. the team manager was the parent of someone who went...

Well, her contract running through year end I'd say. And the woman is an absolute professional, so she'd be the kind to fulfill her obligations. Just because a company can't afford you next year, doesn't mean you spite them in your last 2 months on the job. As for NukeProof, from what a buddy told me, the retail guys out west have taken their leave of the company. The shop in VA that picked them up is blowing all NukeProof completes out at 50% off. So yeah, weird that the US version of NukeProof, the bike brand, seems to be...

Sometime in the early 2000's, I was supposed to ride at some event with Wade Simmons. I ended up missing the group ride but got to ride with Nicolas Vouilloz. Fast forward a few years I ran again into Wade Simmons in Moab with Jordie Lunn (RIP) and Darren Berrecloth, they were nice enough to invite me to the shooting of their Movie "Roam" and then invited me to some Mexican restaurant afterward. Fast forward a few more years, I was riding down a rock slab on Mt Seymour and I literally crashed my bike over .... Wade Simmons again...

afaik everything w/ vital raw is normal. it was almost easier this year than in years past.

What a cool thread to read! Rode with a few of the Aptos kids too back in the day. Got to ride Cob's backyard jumps with Brandon Semenuk one time. They had just build this massive hip at the bottom and Brandon Guinea pigged it. I didn't think that jump was possible. John Cowan yelled at me during Crankworx in Whistler one year because I was standing too close to the 4x track. I was like 14 and looked up to him from his NWD parts so that stuck with me for a while. Years later he came to ride...

Pssst... Izabela Yankova to Specialized Gravity

Looks like he just borrowed Keegan Wright’s slalom bike

Rachel Atherton's baby will be the 3rd Syndicate rider. But actually, I guess we won't see Rachel racing much this year. Maybe Atherton Bikes will launch a custom carbon/titanium balance-bike to celebrate?

Also why pay for 3 riders when 2 riders will have just as much success not racing the soon to be cancelled 2021 season? Syndicate always 2steps ahead of the competition.

Vali, kolb and remi. Also unior needs new frames

It’s been a long day without you my friend, and I’ll tell you all about it when I see EU again

No not him! Andreu is a legend! But Red bull is, if I remember correctly it used to be banned until not too long ago in some European countries so that’s not something I want to drink. That’s just my opinion though

Kyle Strait, Bernardo Cruz, Paul Bas and Anthony Napolitan(bmx), just at the top of my head. I am sure there are plenty of others too.
