The Happy Ride Weekend 2011 was one of the biggest and best events this year in Spain. Many riders from many countries came to visit some perfectly built jumps. There were professional riders like Sam Reynolds, Pavel Vishneviy, Yannik Granieri, Bienvenido Aguado, Xavi Pasamonte and Andreu Lacondeguy.

Andreu Lacondeguy has recently signed a contract with YT Industries, he is now riding a brand new 2012 YT Dirt Love.

 Doesn't matter in the end, he's a whiny self-entitled brat, and won't be anything else to me. That's just his rep speaking for him! Great comp!

 first off togood2die is pretty self entitled too, a little full of youself for being a nobody maybe? second off obviously hes damn good cuz he just took first so i think your just a hater.

 No. He is NOT entitled to be a prick to other riders and fans, or a bastard to even invite to a competition. Then all he does is sit around and whine because the jumps "aren't big enough" or "not his shape". No human is ENTITLED to treat others and their work like that. Sorry fella. Oh, learn to spell and use punctuation properly.

 its his opinion the jumps arent big enough, hes just that nasty of a rider. and did you really just tell me to learn to spell and punctuate? what are you a high school teacher? or just gay?

 After watching the video Andreu's 3's sure get old. I mean some of the other contestants were throwing waaay bigger muuuch more technical tricks. Kinda seems like Andreu just kept doing 3's.

 Not on Mondraker for long then was he

 Andreu rides lots of HUGE jumps and needs good slope bike, IMHO his Modraker slope bike didn't fit that description, YT Play looks much better.

 nixasmb, andreu is now with YT because he's better paid there... i dont think its because of the bikes knowing that, with any bike company, he will have a new frame if he breaks one...
  • 1 0
 inakiarri, probably that's the real reason. I'm not saying he quit Mondraker because he didn't have proper ss bike or broke too many of them Big Grin just noticing that YT frame design (especially ss frame Play) will fit him better ...

 it's true that YT has some great looking frames! but well, we will see how they realy work during the next season Wink

 i'll be straight up about this... that mondraker ss bike is horrid.
