I don't believe I've claimed anything. I linked to a source that is all about the question you were pondering. There's a lot more than mold and dust in the USofA, although visit either Portland (mold) or Arizona (Dust) and you might think otherwise.
2012 team rumour and speculation
- Thread starter Straya
- Start date
IE: breathing the hovering shlt southern californians called air in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Right when EJ was growing up.
Super bummed for Elliot but you can't ride bikes that well and not figure out a way to stay in the game if you really want to. I'd love to see that dude become a full time video subject. I'd buy every one of them.
^ Good point. With his style he could take it to freeriding if he wanted to, and get some film time for some dollars.
Rampage 2014
For the EUs on here: paying out of pocket retail for quality healthcare (not low cap garbage) in the USA can easily be $800 per month.
You also earn more
But it's still silly. In terms of surgery you can get top surgeons + a plane tickets under 8k$. Hell my last 2 surgeries combined were 4k$ total with 2 days waiting time so 800$/Month is silly.
The US health care system is F-ed up, just leave it at that. We don't need spreadsheets to prove that, it sucks, end of discussion in the DH forum.You also earn more
Like libraries and schools and national parks.
I think it might actually be the opposite. We are too clean. There are interesting studies with parasites.
And therein lies the fundamental comprehension issues.
You suggest to avoid astma I should clean my flat even less often? I will tell that to any girl who will come over. "Sorry gal, I'm fighting astma"
I know him and his building/riding buddy (also featured in a lot of those VitalMTB shots) are very interested in doing rampage.
Yes, and get a cat and have more than one child when you have kids. Don't let it go too far though, the pendulum swings the other way when you bring roach feces into the equation.
This is all well and good, but why isn't anyone speculating about what team Kidwoo is riding for this year?
Damn. I was, as of a coincidence, at the bank today (buying a house, dealing with the loans) and got offered an insurance I thought was quite expensive. Would cover health and dental up to $150k US (converted from local currency) for dental care costs, otherwise its for disability compensation and to cover loss of income, which would cost me less than $14 US/month. Didn't take the offer, was A LOT more expensive than what I've got today..
On the other hand, bike parts are a lot cheaper in the US!
as expected - gwin to TLD.

Seems like Royal got the same treatment as Trek??
http://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/ROYAL-RACING-AND-TREK-WORLD-RACING-JOIN-FORCES-FOR-3-MORE-YEARS,702
J/K... but you know Royal signed that contract under the assumption their 3 years would match up with Gwin's 3 years (of intent)
I almost wonder if this was part of it, he was unable to source other sponsors that were not under the Trek tent aside from Redbull??? Martin said that no one rider is bigger than the team.
Money from Trek and Specialized were equal, but other earning potential outside of TWR were limited?

i just spoke with another super secret industry insider. the latest is that sinyard personally got gwin in touch with lil wayne's orthodontist/jeweler
dont know whats so "landmark" about signing him.
It's a landmark level of drama, that's for sure.
That's a fairly childish move for trek to release that.
Wow - I can't believe they would put that piece out to the public.

Wow. I think their handling of this may be backfiring...just a bit.
too bad the hand is in the way :/
10 to 1 dislike that on youtube...
Martin, you have a lot in the clip still. Please stop unloading it into your foot. People will NEVER like you more than Gwin.

on purpose of course
Holy ****. How can Trek be so stupid?
I was surprised to see Specialized being so cool about Sam leaving, but their coolness only becomes more evident when compared with Treks crybaby ****.

You do realize that TWR is separate from Trek and owned by Martin Whitely, right? Trek was merely a title sponsor kind of like how RockyRoads was the UCI Mtb World Cup title sponsor.
It really is the silly season.
all this for 5 damn races, I hope they get up to around 10 races one day to make it more exciting.
