Privateer Perspective: Dylan Conte

Privateer DHer, Dylan Conte, hails from Vermont and has been on the scene longer than most. Dylan started out as the ultimate grom, shredding dirt jump lines and hucking himself through the Green Mountain State. Like most, he discovered big bikes and was soon rocketing through the Junior ranks and ultimately into the Elites.

Dylan's had some highs and lows, but through it all he continues to shine his signature smile and unending enthusiasm for going fast and sending it. No longer a grom, Dylan is the captain of a land yacht van that he lives out of for a large percentage of the year, traveling from event to event, while pulling in remote freelance work to keep gas in the tank and the dream alive. Listen in as we talk with Deez about how he approaches racing, riding, and navigating the scene.

Bummed to be watching the finals after a high speed slide out into a rock yesterday but really stoked that nothing in my leg is broken and I’ll be back riding in a week or two. This .course was absolutely all time. Could not be more stoked with the bike and how I’m riding! Can’t wait to turn the pedals again and get a timed run in! I’m riding more .confidently and better than I have in years and I’m stoked to see where this season takes me. Thanks to everyone that’s got my back @alch3mistb33r @gtbicycles @stoweyouthcycling @stowetrails @deit .components @schwalbetires @flyracingusa @joesnoflats @h .components @factotumvt #stowehardware
