Stoked for Pinkerton.  Funny, I was riding before work on tuesday this last week and saw a group of dudes shuttling telonics.  I was catching my breath before I dropped in, saw them unload off of the truck with dh sleds and was like, welp, not dropping in on those kids.  At any rate, one of them rolled by and I could have sworn it was Ryan... but I noticed this person was on a mondraker so I just wrote it off mentally as a "random person, wearing all A* gear, with a monster energy helmet on a mondraker".  In retrospect, that thought process didn't make sense at the time and doesn't make sense even now.  

Super stoked to see a good hard working kid from the local trails of socal reaping the benefit of the hard work and dedication he's put in.

MS Intense is a reality. David Trummer (AUT), Eleonora Farina (ITA), Jacob Dickson (IRL) and Tuhoto Ariki Pene (NZ). So, the team is real, but no Dak. Waiting on his Mondraker announcement...

Well, I think this settles it as to where Dak is going.  Surprised.  Interesting team though.

Wow, did not expect Dak to not be on Intense.  Total off color comment but I wonder if Intense didn't want to pay him or MS didn't have the funding to keep him?

As for Mondraker, I wish that top tube was thicc'r on that bike.  No matter what, hope Pinky and Dak crush it.

Seems like Mondraker is pushing hard into the US market with the distribution in Colorado and signing of Pinkerton and assuming Dak. Hope he adjusts to the new bike well and the results keep coming, hopefully he got paid, he deserves it.

I hope you mean the season, not the top tube!

Will be interesting to see how things go when these guys swap bikes. Trummer and Tahuto didn’t seem to have their best years on that mondraker, and brook didn’t like it. Mondraker has some heavy hitters now, will be interesting to see what they do on it.

I was similar in not wanting him on a Mondraker. I’ve made peace with it now, though. Sick team for the year, and I hope the bike is equally sick and capable.

Yea. Same. Seems like they are at least really trying to get it right. Hopefully it goes well.

Considering MFR is putting a strong effort in by employing a race engineer and a full race team staff, I'm confident that they can get things set up well for their riders. If things go poorly, I would see that as more of a poor reflection of the riders' ability to test and communicate what they want given the resources available to them. Pinky world champ 2024, let's go!

50 people have said where Dak is going for the last 2 months and yet a bunch still don't get it. Amazing.
