No I'm asking how you mistook Gwin for a turd. But seeing as those drawings seem pretty reliable, your question is a good one.

Or maybe it is an O'Neal shoe, the brand Loic is sponsored by and that advertise ATM congratulating him on the Worlds win and saying they look forward to another year of working together.
You sound like a guy who might know too much.Bruni is riding a Demo for 2016, hardly a secret anymore and Gwin will likely be on a KTM...
I think you've said too much!You sound like a guy who might know too much.
Also yt already inked a contract with gwin, and I imagine they'd be upset if he showed up to races riding a catalogue special ktm.
so... You're saying you don't think Gwin will be on a KTM branded YT?You guys, I realise this is a forum and were supposed to talked about stuff like this... But really...
Really hoping this means KY jelly is getting into the bike/moto lubrication business.I think you've said too much!
Edit: cue the KYTM speculation
You mean for Whitley's pastries?some big (bavarian?) company as a main sponsor.
Gwin on a YT is the most awkward match ever.
All the YT guys are kinda wildchild looking badasses, then comes icecream and cookie loving Jesus bus Gwin rocking up to the party... "oh hai guyz"...everyone at the party awkwardly thinking of how to avoid conversation with him.
Excited to see how Gee fares on the new bike. It would be awesome to see him back in the top three consistently. I wonder if the session will see any significant geometry changes for the Athertons?meanwhile Gee getting comfortable
Kidwoo knows how to get stickers made, you know...I wanna see the new Trek Bummer Session "Lord-B" DH sled.
I'd say by the PB survey that whoever picks up Gwin is going to get some killer exposure. Whether or not that translates into enduro bike sales, I don't know:

I wonder if Gwin isn't releasing the new team just to generate more hype, or if they're still hashing things out... Seems to me a smart guy like him would have something good in the bag before cutting things off with the specialized.
2600 people isn't exactly what I would call "killer exposure" in the grand scheme of thingsI'd say by the PB survey that whoever picks up Gwin is going to get some killer exposure. Whether or not that translates into enduro bike sales, I don't know:

Maybe they are trying to appeal to more than one type of rider? That could be smartGwin on a YT is the most awkward match ever.

That number may indicate that viewers of a primarily DH-focused site are most interested in the upcoming DH season. I'd hesitate to infer that, even.Obviously
Maybe I should have clarified for you: As one of the few indicators out there, I think it's a very good one.
Lol , nope , its quite clear buddy .2600 people is an insignificant number for a large corporation such as Trek or Specialized.Especially considering those 2600 votes werent even taken from a random survey made on a completely random group of people.Pinkbike is largely visited by DH oriented riders ( add a whole lot of kids to that) and I think its fair assume their main interest will mostly be DH events ....Obviously

Very few other bike related events got sold to TV. DH, Slope and Rampage are the only mountain biking disciplines/events that translate well to viewers not interested in a given discipline. I'm yet to meet an xc guy watching enduro races or an enduro guy watching xc races.Lol , nope , its quite clear buddy .2600 people is an insignificant number for a large corporation such as Trek or Specialized.Especially considering those 2600 votes werent even taken from a random survey made on a completely random group of people.Pinkbike is largely visited by DH oriented riders ( add a whole lot of kids to that) and I think its fair assume their main interest will mostly be DH events ....
It's true that YT's current riders are all colorful dudes. However, they also happen to be among the best in their niche. To continue that trend, why not sign the DH champ?Gwin on a YT is the most awkward match ever.
