I wouldn’t go that far. Let’s assume it’s authentic... First, holy 26” wheels Batman! CZ is now a Vital forum member. Proof that the pros love what we talk about on the forums In all seriousness, this is a positive sign and no need to further drag his name at the moment. While not public, it’s a positive step.

Why? The post was removed instantly, it was up just long enough for the email notifications system to pick it up and show it to us with it turned on BTW, the username is general, there is no obvious correlation with anyone, but checking out the profile (location and posting history) does make it plausible. But still, plausible is not proof. So let's just get over it?

Um, did anyone else get a message from a pro that we were just talking about on this thread? Their initials are in the word “CraZy.” If so, is this a joke or the real deal?

FWIW I stopped using Instagram... 4 or 5 years ago now. It really does make life better, ignorance really is bliss. I stick to forums (because the content is better there) and of the social media, to YouTube (it actually has some replay value, unlike IG/FB where once you saw the photo and double tapped, that's it) and some groups on FB, mostly bike related. And I use 'Newsfeed eradicator' browser extension for FB to not get sucked in to the horrible feed of my 'friends'. Regarding rumors, what info is still up in the air? UR and Unior -...

If every single company you worked for is really really bad, regardless if they're not paying your checks anymore or not, what's more likely to be the issue, all the companies or you (it's a general you, not 'bulletbass man' you)? Some people can get over negative experiences working for certain companies even without dragging them through the mud.

That's kinda my point, it wasn't needed to quote the picture here, the debate has been about Danny for those 8 posts. But yeah, quoting could be much better, besides editing multiquotes could be a thing too.

Yearly releases are one of the most dumb things we can have. It's literally a new coat of paint on an old product, frames are mostly sold for 3 to 4 years with no or at most minor changes. I don't see any good reason to not have the same model for 2 years, then do a 'facelift' with a refreshed spec sheet (depending on release of new products from the suppliers) and then a new model. Kinda how it's done in the automotive industry. If you wanna cater to the 'new bike every year' market make a special limited...

Being in the public eye as a professional athlete comes with simple responsibilities around decency. You don’t have to be the perfect role model, you just have to be a decent person. Besides this terrible incident, he has posted videos of driving recklessly (cutting double yellows, swerving around people in blind corners) in his Porsche on a known deadly local road for cyclist and motorcyclist. My opinion on the topic is that it needs addressing by his sponsors, bike media, etc. Definitely not a role model for any kids in the sport. Probably not the forum for this so I’ll...

That's the thing, it may only be an isolated case on video, but it is obviously in their vocabulary and happens more often than we see. Now, before everyone gets hot and bothered, we've all said stuff that we regret and would look back and say, "WTF was I thinking." However, we're not in the public eye like Cam and others. And if no one calls him out now, it can happen again....and again.... That's it and all I'll say on the topic. But I will definitely look at Cam a bit more differently after what was shared in this...

In the video he says “and someone named Cams bike.” Speaking of this video which has now been removed, Cam shows why he is a sponsor nightmare. Openly using homophobic slurs on his public insta with 353k followers. Add that on top of a decade of bashing past sponsors, I’m surprised no one has canceled this guy yet. Any other sport and this guy would be dropped and black listed.

Any chance that is Tom van Steenbergen's Hyper? The fact that the Michelin tire is on the right makes me think he is with TVS who is also sponsored by TLD and Monster. Just a thought.

that was disappointing.
