I've ridden with Brandon a bunch over the years, and I can't imagine anyone more dedicated to helping others get the right info on bikes. I've seen him fall asleep at the computer typing at 2 AM getting thoughts down on bikes, nose smashed into the keyboard. I also believe he's got a massive caffeine addiction that has helped fuel the content. Good luck to whoever fills the shoes.
WTF. The hucks are big enough without the added consequence of all the runouts in over half of those. Threading the needle at 30 mph after hucking 25 ft stair gaps is straight up gnarly. That bridge drop to pole tag to head smash at the end was what was going through my mind the entire vid. I don't think anyone touches him in this realm in MTB. BMX street riders are just as nuts and send absurd shit but the amplitude on the DH bike is hard to match.

Well if you can spare 5 minutes, it's still worth reading the rest. Yes, it's not quite as sticky in terms of pure surface grip, but once you have just a bit of pressure on the pedal, it digs in. I'm pretty sensitive to having my feet move around on my pedals, if I feel like my feet might slip or shift about, it really affects my riding. My current list of shoes that I'm happy to ride anywhere and not risk feeling like that: Five Ten, Ride Concepts, Bontrager and Specialized. The Michelin sole on Shimano's flat pedal shoe is also grippy enough, but overall I like that shoe less. Also, in terms of outright grip, add Unparallel to that list (probably at the very top in terms of stickiness), but that shoe falls well short of the others when it comes to stiffness, protection, and just general level of construction. FWIW.
Ha! The key to aging with grace is looking terrible from a young age... then the bar is already low. You too bud, you know where to find me when you have a minute to ride.
Weird and expensive. For every enduro sold how much is going to that ridiculous video? On a unit to unit basis, its more than $1. Over produced. Next to no riding. The story sucked.
Give me some raw ripping and fun-having. Leave the "I hope I get to produce the next Stranger Things" video reel to your Vimeo page.
The ass of Loic’s pants at the end of his Andorra run would despite Benedict’s assertions. Not only a big skid mark from the preferred 27.5 but also a preferred shorter chainstays on both Finn and Loic’s bikes

Let’s be honest, Sam Hill has already won that track in all our minds even if he’s not on the start line

Kind of fun to think about is the meeting where they decided to use the Bontrager name instead of the Trek name for their tool storage solution.
