I thought Gwin had a financial interest in Intense. Was that not part of his comp or am I going totally brain dead?
If that was the case, I figured they would do a Commencal and have an Intense/ Whoever team in addition to the "Factory" team.
Guess I need to pay better attention.

chatter on vital of gwin to yeti, but i'm skeptical. doubt they have the $$ to add him to the factory team.
he isn't going to yeti
She's rad as hey. I haven't seen someone so nonchalantly fast since Ratboy
I've heard that from a few different sources so I'd wager there's some truth to it. Gwin has a record of getting in with the smaller component mobs and bringing them up with some return on their growth so wonder if thats his plan with Frameworks.
I doubt Frameworks has the $$$ to run an OEM team, and unlikely able to pay top riders, but someone like Gwinn could attract a larger corporate lead sponsor to fund it.
when's the last time gwinn won a race?
serious question, I don't pay attention to the littlepants racing anymore

What a Race that was. Probably Top 3 of All Time! In Fact he has at least 3 of those,that left Everyone with their mouth open. Only the Alien can compete on that Level. Don’t come at me with Sam at Champrey. Danny said,hold my beer bitch! And nobody ever smoked the pack by more time than Gwin. Nor has anyone won 5 out of 9 in a season.
You all seem to think Greg,who is older than Gwin,can crank off a few wins as an old Man,but Gwin cannot? I am not of that opinion. It always confused me when Americans talk shit and say,when was his last win Avy? Even when he was winning there was no Love. Only young kids growing up.
Bitch,when was your last win? Or BullDog,or Kerr,orTroy?
Last,I am now convinced that Greg’s record will not be Broken,save for Gwin In my Lifetime. I felt that way Before the new format,now there is no way. They fucked it all up. It ain’t fair if you ask me. The riders can not peak. The record could have been broken,just not in my lifetime. Now it seems impossible tome.
Suspect,this was in no way about you or you’re opinion,I am just speaking to all.
Avy
woo,I see that you feel I am smoking Crack. Now,I think you mis understood what I was saying.
What I was saying is: Unless Gwin can somehow pull off 3 UCI DH wins,nobody In my Lifetime will.
Thought’s?

Racing is our True North: Total Destruction - Chris Kovarik, Fort William, 2002
It’s one of the defining moments in the history of downhill racing, and of INTENSE. One of the greatest downhill race runs of all time – INTENSE team rider Chris Kovarik’s win at the first ever Fort William World Cup back in 2002...

Don't forget: And they're 2WD. Like who buys a truck that's only 2wd? Texans.
Then lifts it 12" to make it even less useful.
toodles,I’m gona take a picture of a picture I have had on my toolbox,2actually,of Chris from fuck? Very old. He is just a Pup In them. What year did he start with Intense? They are not action shots,just in the pits. I thought he was as cool as they come,always have. Great memory on the link,Thank You.Racing is our True North: Total Destruction - Chris Kovarik, Fort William, 2002

Do you think Greg was Honest,or playin the role? What is on that Bike to amaze him?
I am with Westy on this Norco matter,I think he is going to complain about the Bike. Time will tell.
Avy
I feel that he genuinely likes the bike, but the way he talks about Norco vs his previous experiences is clearly a middle finger at Santa Cruz. I’m not sure he loves the bike that much, and Santa Cruz obviously have a good engineering team too, so in my opinion I feel he is bitter about last year in the Syndicate.
it makes for an entertaining off season, adds a bit of fuel to the fire, and I’m sure he will be one to watch this year because I feel he’s going to want to make his point and be a fierce competitor.

If he gets better results than last year, win for Norco. If he performs similar or worse, then their bikes are just as good or bad as SC's. Not sure their marketing department will be able spin that in a good way.
And if Greg fails to qualify or make the main in 50% of the races?
Interesting move for Norco after laying off a large percentage of their workforce. Betting hard on the "win on Sunday, sell on Monday" strategy.
Ol' Goaty is no idiot when it comes to contract negotiations, I bet he has something in there tied to DH bike sales numbers. We'll see....

Greg’s spiel in Norco engineering team is a bit nauseating now that he’s repeated it rote across multiple platforms.
His suggestion that the norco team is special because it has engineers coming from motorsport - that’s pretty much every bicycle engineering team. Very few engineers are going into the super niche area of downhill bicycle racing without experience elsewhere first. Right?!
