Are suggesting that 23* degrees has had the same amount of success and exposure since Gwin left, or do you think it's absurd that they may once again work together?

I think it's absurd to use the term "resurrect" in regards to the organization. 23d may not have had the same amount of success without Gwin, but it's not like they were just a pile of ashes, either.

Gwin and Martin will work together again. Mark it.

I want to see Herbalife sponsor the biggest damn stoner on the circuit. I'll begin the speculation of who that is with RatBoy. Discuss.

Since 98 degrees/Whitley and Trek are no more, 98 degrees will run ytwr with Gwin.

I've said too much...

Ouch, big marketing fail from O'Neal then. Having ads with Bruni for their kicks in bike mags... :crazy:

Oh man, what a win win for everyone.


I can't think of a single rider with a fairly established, or newly established success having ever joined specialized and then not immediately continued their upward path. I mean really, never in the history of specialized sponsoring dh riders has that ever happened. Stoked for loic! It's like stepping into magic shoes! Good things just start happening everywhere.

And palmer
And strait
And hill
And ropelato
And Gwinn

A long history of just hitting the ground and running with continued successes and no change whatsoever in trajectory!


Actually I think the only people that doesn't apply to are anneke beerten and troy brosnan. And I think maybe Brad Bendedict was still tagging the occasional top 20 in a few world cups on spec. I think you have to have Bs in your name. So he may be good.

See, you just have to look at this scientifically.

Been a long time since I've posted here! Some entertaining comments on here.......

Looking forward to seeing things unfold in 2016!

For the record, I no longer handle Gwin's business deals as of 12/31/15.

I'm still on his program and helping with other duties related to his program.

Should be some good racing in 2016!

Did Intense take out a new line of credit, is Gwin gonna start doing back flips with Zink, will he be on an orange painted demo/session/glory with big KTM stickers on it, or was the interview all smoke and he is still shopping for a ride....

Spill it Houseman!

Apparently the GOAT rides fox, and is going to yt.

Any guesses as to whether thats Minnaar, Peat, or Vouilloz?

Sounds like Aaron hired Drew Rosenhaus?

Which has to be ACC or Nico.
Anne Caro had injury due to a tumor in the midseason last year won't be racing this year. Healing vibes to her.
But Nico on a YT? I don't think so.

Brendog another 3 years on Scott bikes :fans:
I got the GOAT reference. But Capra is some kind goofy goat as well.

Wait, are you suggesting that some of this should have been taken seriously? Crap, I've done it all wrong!

so where's rock jeebus?

my money is whatever team he winds up on, the frame he's riding won't be the title sponsor of the team.

Team Tarryltons.

Here is a video of him not to long ago. Looks to me like he overshoots almost all those jumps....

One piece of video I'm really getting sick of seeing is the "push my bike uphill" clip. That shit got old in '03. Let me throw on my sponsors pj's and I'll just go push my bike around! When there's a trail like that, dedicated for DH riding, there will be a road, trail to ride, or lift somewhere near. Especially if it's in North America!

we should start a thread about what we're tired of seeing in videos:

-pushing uphill
-slow motion panoramas of scenery
-time lapse shots of clouds, rivers, etc
-working on bikes
-drivetrain closeups waiting for someone to "drop in"
-driving places to ride
-taking a ferry someplace to ride
