Would be interesting to see Vans push into MTB... their shoes are already used to a great extent by park rats and freeriders and I am sure they have the $$$ to entice Semenuk if they choose to use him to jump into the MTB world 'officially'. Also wonder how this all coincides with Emil having more of a presence at Etnies.

On a side note, the Etnies Culvert Mid shoes are my current favourite shoes to ride in so I appreciate all the effort they have put into their MTB range. 

They best stiffen them up.

Even riding to the pub in a pair of hitops gets sore arches.

Now this looks like something that we can take as a hint regarding Dak! So anxious to find out! :D

The goat is riding for Norco this year, and the other goat is an Atherton, so I can only assume they are taking an actual goat on the world cup circuit. Maby it's an emotional support goat for a new rider?

I would imagine that the ‘goat’ outline is about the Capra model bike…..

Capra (genus)

‘capra is a genus of mammals, the goats, comprising ten species, including the markhor and several species known as ibexes. The domestic goat (Capra hircus) ...

Plus it's been a while YT communicates with goat imageries of some sorts.

Factory team is Pinkerton, Norton, Dunne.

Only question left is whether Farina sticks with MS or moves to Mondraker factory team??

Erm, you seem to be very sure on this, but let me ask you quick: based upon... what? It's an honest question. Most of us interpret what riders do or say, in order to try to understand where they are heading. I am curious what the base is to the ”Dak to Mondraker” rumor is, considering that he suggested that there will be no major changes for him. Whereas a change of frame is a huge change. Or maybe you have some inside knowledge that we obviously lack and you know this for a fact, but can't talk about it. I am looking at the people who liked your comment and I consider this could be a thing too. Just for the record: I am interested in the mechanics of the rumor, how it came to life, not trying to argue with like minded DH racing fans; we are all in here because we love this.

Cheers,
Mx

I kind of hope this is an elaborate prank, but it's unlikely since we've seen Dunne on a Mondraker at Dyfi. I am just surprised Dak has not been spotted, or at least no one has shared anything. I guess he rides moto all winter anyway.

Stoked for Pinkerton.  Funny, I was riding before work on tuesday this last week and saw a group of dudes shuttling telonics.  I was catching my breath before I dropped in, saw them unload off of the truck with dh sleds and was like, welp, not dropping in on those kids.  At any rate, one of them rolled by and I could have sworn it was Ryan... but I noticed this person was on a mondraker so I just wrote it off mentally as a "random person, wearing all A* gear, with a monster energy helmet on a mondraker".  In retrospect, that thought process didn't make sense at the time and doesn't make sense even now.  

Super stoked to see a good hard working kid from the local trails of socal reaping the benefit of the hard work and dedication he's put in.

MS Intense is a reality. David Trummer (AUT), Eleonora Farina (ITA), Jacob Dickson (IRL) and Tuhoto Ariki Pene (NZ). So, the team is real, but no Dak. Waiting on his Mondraker announcement...

Well, I think this settles it as to where Dak is going.  Surprised.  Interesting team though.

Wow, did not expect Dak to not be on Intense.  Total off color comment but I wonder if Intense didn't want to pay him or MS didn't have the funding to keep him?

As for Mondraker, I wish that top tube was thicc'r on that bike.  No matter what, hope Pinky and Dak crush it.

Seems like Mondraker is pushing hard into the US market with the distribution in Colorado and signing of Pinkerton and assuming Dak. Hope he adjusts to the new bike well and the results keep coming, hopefully he got paid, he deserves it.

I hope you mean the season, not the top tube!
