Mtb is a dangerous sport. If the pay is good and decently guaranteed it seems like a no brainer for rider. And for a guy as talented and well known as Jackson it seems like a no brainer for a brand.
At face value, I totally agree. But what I’m curious about is if his pay is locked in for all of those years, or are there...
At face value, I totally agree. But what I’m curious about is if his pay is locked in for all of those years, or are there adjustments to be made based on performance and if the brand is doing well…?
Santa Cruz was conspicuously absent from Sea Otter.
I would bet a LOT of (internet) money there's a guaranteed base salary with hefty performance increases and win/podium bonuses in there.
A five-year contract? I wish I were a fly on the wall for those talks. For someone with his capabilities, it seems weird to get locked...

Santa Cruz "we will give you your existing pay plus Greg's if you sign until 2030".
Jackson "Ok"
Santa Cruz clearly sees Goldstone as the #1 rider on the Syndicate and are focusing the team around him for the long term. Makes sense to lock him in.
Every journey has its end. I never thought that the sport that my brothers and I grew up playing would become a professional career. Travelling around the world, meeting new people, getting to know myself and competing at the highest level of racing has been a special experience.
I will never regret the path I have chosen. Each journey has brought me new challenges, insights and opportunities for personal growth. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this and helped me achieve these results, because even though you are alone on the course, there is always a team behind you and many people supporting you. Thank you all, we have achieved a lot together. All the effort was worth these moments. Despite the end of my career as a professional downhill racer, my passion for cycling is still strong. I will continue to test myself in smaller races and enjoy every moment on the bike.
Vsake poti je enkrat konec. Nikoli si nisem mislil da bom s športom 🚴♂️, ki mi je predstavljal igro s katero smo z brati rastli skozi otroštvo prerastel v profesionalno kariero. Potovati po svetu 🌍, spoznavati nove ljudi in samega sebe in ob tem še tekmovati na najvišjem nivoju je bilo posebno doživetje.
Nikoli mi ne bo žal za pot, katero sem izbral. Vsaka prevožena pot mi je prinesla nove izzive, spoznanja in priložnosti za osebnostno rast. Hvala vsem, ki ste bili del tega in mi pomagali do rezultatov saj kljub temu, da si na progi sam je za tabo vedno ekipa in številni ljudje, ki te podpirajo. Hvala vsem vam, dosegli smo veliko skupaj. Vsak trud je bil vreden teh trenutkov. Kljub zaključku profesionalne kariere pa bo moja strast do kolesarjenja vedno ostala. Z veseljem se bom še naprej preizkušal na manjših dirkah in užival v vsakem trenutku na kolesu.

Santa Cruz hasn't been present at Sea Otter for a few year now even when the covid boom was still in full swing. They preferred to invite media to visit the factory the week before and have a open house/exhibit instead of having a booth 50 miles away in Monterey. I wouldn't read that as a sign of financial distress unlike the factory sale they are having right now.
There are several key parts of a bike that I won't cheap out on. Brakes are almost at the top of that list. I can not fathom how terrifying it must be as a WC racer to get handed something like this.
"We'd like you to go risk life and limb in our name. Also, here are some knock off brakes that we found in a dumpster, lol."

To be fair, they’re actually pretty nice brakes. I won’t be buying a set because I don’t like supporting blatant knockoffs, but they actually seem to be well made.

Tried out these brakes on another fellas e bike at my local and they put my freshly bled hopes to shame, much better than the saints and codes I've used aswell

Yeah, they get paid to praise them, wouldn’t read too much Into that
If only a few details have changed from the actual Trick Stuff brakes, wouldn't that mean they probably work about the same and just look a bit different? While the similarities are undeniable, these seem like a really cool and affordable option so long as we don't see Intense Factory riders flying off the track or blowing up sets of brakes throughout the year, .

People like to talk shit for the sake of talking shit. There has not been a single negative comment in the thread explaining why the Lewis brakes suck, they just say they do. I get it, everyone has an opinion, but some of these comments are just pure arrogance.

Career suicide to come out and say, our fresh new brake sponsor aint that good. To be fair I have never heard of this brand. Could be great. I know people that ride knock off chinese carbon rims and they.... work. If they truly are trickstuffs then more power to them.
One of my friends bought a set at the beginning of the year - really loves them and they feel very nice. I think calling them knock-offs and dismissing them is a bit unfair.
I wouldn't read too much into their SO absence, PON didn't really need to show up. I'm almost positive none of the PON owned brands exhibited there.
I would bet a LOT of (internet) money there's a guaranteed base salary with hefty performance increases and win/podium bonuses in there.

Financial distress indicator for sure.
That was the big announcement?

I‘am sorry for Jure. Allways felt like he had a lot more in the tank. Have fun!

Wow, Trickstuff knockoffs or what?
I'm assuming this is sarcasm.
Yes the only changed 2-3 Details.

I've been running a test set of ultimates for a few weeks now and... Well they're not bad, that's for sure.
