‘NEW NORMAL’ is a short film that embodies Shawn Neer’s departure from enduro racing at the highest level, and his transition into a new lifestyle filled with dog duty, film production and plenty of aggressive riding, just without a number plate or component-marking stickers.
He’s grateful to have had the racing experience and even more so, he’s thankful for the friends, mentors and family that supported his racing career. HUNT Wheels is proud to be a part of Shawn’s next chapter in riding, and pleased to present ‘NEW NORMAL’.
“I wouldn’t have been able to see the world without racing, something I am forever fortunate for. Though as a kid who grew up at the skatepark and dirt jumps as much as the racetrack, I felt like there was an itch I still needed to scratch, which is on the creative side in mountain biking.”
“I turned down the race contract and started thinking of ways to still bring value to the brands I work with - which sparked the idea of starting a production company called Moniker. I wanted to promote the brands I work with and explore places outside the tape I would have never seen otherwise. I’m pretty happy to be past the point of defining success with a number and still able to do what I love, progress my riding in new ways, and immerse myself back into my local riding community. Here's to my new normal.” -SHAWN NEER
