I don't think winning ENDURO is or ever was the highest concern for the big S. They have nobody that is a top 10 contender at EWS events as it stands. Though there are guys placing in and around it with factory gigs could move up a few spots I would guess..

I didn't realize bearclaw was still riding mountain bikes professionally. I can't remember the last contest or video segment with him other then the bearclaw invitational, and it doesn't seem like you need to be a professional mountain biker to host an event.

He was out for a long time due to a back surgery. He had a popped disc I think and wante dto get away without surgery but needed to do it anyway at some point.

Any chance the new bike Cesar Rojo built is the new Canyon machine (not in this clip,i know) ?
Fabian worked with him when they were both on Mondraker and their current bike wont cut it for full on WC assualt.

Do dentists buy Pivot's DH bikes? Because axing the only person that gave them any decent exposure over something stupid like that would be a mistake IMO.

Kerr's the only Pivot rider getting any kind of coverage - they'd be fools to axe him. He did get some pretty rough feedback on the Dirt facebook page about his antics, and as everyone knows, facebook comments are (much like forum comments) made by only sane and rational people and are therefore taken super cereal by the industry.

But....if they do get rid of Kerr he'd be a great signing for this new Canyon DH team.

Professionalism doesn't sell action sports lifestyle. If I were a Pivot I would quietly double down on Bernard Kerr footage
Pivot could already be onto this. For all we know this was a publicity stunt.

Does anyone else find this internet mob mentality of "let's get them fired!" repugnant?

Imagine Palmer would now be in his best years... Total internet chaos.
People get pruder, dumber and more jealous every day it seems.
Really I mean, who cares? Johnny Knoxville and his crew built a career out of dumb ideas.

I just wanna see a Stoppie of Kerr on the landing of the canyon gap.

He can pay the repair with the 25k check he got for being the Crankwory overall champion.
Goddammit, it was just a Ford that got a little demolished.
I didn't see the video, however, if it was indeed a ford that he allegedly destroyed....as the owner of a total piece of shit ford that ford can't fix. I'm Kerr has just become a top ten favorite rider of mine. If I was rich, I'd sponsor him

I'm so sick of "The court of public opinion"

Most of those spineless keyboard jockeys would not say shit to anyone's face
It's the same people 20 years ago would say something about you in a PTA meeting, but in low voice. Pointing fingers at your back, because they wouldn't dare facing you. Internet has given them what they believe is moar power. The truth is you have to take them for what they really are: insignificant people, hiding behind a keyboard.

From vitalmtb:
Some "In the Look for" team pissed the "Hole in the mountain" off and now Loic is ending up riding with the eScobar and together with a system of down under guy.
Gwin is Chad Reed, riding a bike as a bike, Why he drinks Tea, but with outside sponsors who eat oranges and has cattle.
