No...their riding Giant Glory's, wait ur right they are Trek Sessions!

I think George Brannigan is a huge addition to this team (in addition to Brook). Wondering what he's going to do this year.

Can someone explain it to me

Solid profiles, but that soundtrack ruined all the vids after the first minute

matt5311 (Apr 12, 2013 at 18:09)

They should have had the riders to choose their favourite music

Alasdair-S (Apr 13, 2013 at 3:44)

It sounds like the kind of music you would use for a budget porno

tomallen1 (Apr 13, 2013 at 8:06)

Sorry, but i just found these pretty dull, especially with ALL the slow motion :/ Think we all just would like to see something fast and exciting !

Lahar72 (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:22)

3 flying Kiwi's - Yeah Boi !

Singlespeed-Seb (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:58)

Who is the 3rd?

snooky (Apr 12, 2013 at 14:06)

^lol

Lahar72 (Apr 12, 2013 at 22:39)

Brook, George and Justin, think this = three flying Kiwi's

Singlespeed-Seb (Apr 13, 2013 at 5:29)

Oh i forgot about Justin, my bad.

Daddybear (Apr 12, 2013 at 23:56)

Justin Leov say (about enduro) it s a new sport!?!?! WTF it's moutain biking!!!! stupid marketing stuff ! (and i respect this rider but com on son!)

yamaboy2000 (Apr 14, 2013 at 8:10)

I think its going to be an interesting & tough year for Trek..no one mentioned that they wanted to win badly or believed that they could win..Most hoped to be top 10 or 20, which is awsome and a true feat, for sure, But you gotta believe when your at the start gate, that you own that track and are the fastest..

RatHunter83 (Apr 12, 2013 at 13:33)

I wanna see Neko go buckwild this year!

H-MONSTER (Apr 13, 2013 at 3:24)

Go on Grag williamson you worth it!.

dkidd (Apr 12, 2013 at 11:19)

Brooke looks so controlled on the bike, despite riding comparatively high compared to guys like Stevie or Aaron.

csponsel (Apr 12, 2013 at 11:59)

"comparatively high compared to" is redundant.

dkidd (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:07)

Right, you are correct.

Chaindriven (Apr 12, 2013 at 13:19)

by saying, "right" and "correct" were you attempting to be redundant in response to the redundant comment??

dkidd (Apr 12, 2013 at 14:44)

'humorously funny' is more what I was going for.

DragontalesDH (Apr 12, 2013 at 18:48)

^^Your my hero.

ste-tommo (Apr 13, 2013 at 7:44)

You're ^^^

mrkamot (Apr 13, 2013 at 16:33)

I see what you did there. Well played Sir.

Loucas (Apr 12, 2013 at 13:20)

The images where beautiful, but i've find it too long, skip half of the first and second then didn't listen to the other except for 30 sec of skip trought the video.

TheFireSermon (Apr 12, 2013 at 17:16)

Who cares...BRING ON CG!!! That man deserves some "Rider Profile" after that injury and to return so soon.

DragontalesDH (Apr 12, 2013 at 19:01)

see normally i dont mind slowmo when everyone is complaining about it. that thats just ridiculous. that being said. i want leov to beat Dan Atherton this year!!

airsoftesneeto (Apr 12, 2013 at 23:52)

i like how blatant they were when they said, "There are some riders out there that I definitely want to beat, especially some... other people" Brooke MacDonald

Impressive team with alot of potential, I think they will suprise people.

rayhowrad (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:59)

Does anyone know what shoe Macdonald is wearing in that first vid?

Enduro27 (Apr 12, 2013 at 13:44)

the new freerider VXI

rayhowrad (Apr 12, 2013 at 14:24)

Thanks for the response, but I don't think you're correct. Look at the shoe at 2:10 and compare it to

www.wigglestatic.com/product-media/5360078980/5042_FreeriderVXi_GreyCharcol_01.jpg?w=1800&h=1800&a=7

completely different shoe.

Enduro27 (Apr 12, 2013 at 16:46)

2:10 is the end of the video, its the same shoe as your link

alexisfire (Apr 12, 2013 at 23:14)

Its clearly not the freerider VXI. That link is quite different than the shoe he has on at 0:56. The entire rear of the right side, behind the 5 logo, is totally different

Its-That-Guy (Apr 12, 2013 at 15:01)

Brooks kit looks sick this year.

NCFX (Apr 14, 2013 at 11:54)

over-used slowmotion!!!!!

danimalbeastwood (Apr 21, 2013 at 15:29)

looks like a trek

Trek desperately needed to do something like this after how badly the Gwin situation aired out to everyone. Unfortunately for them, and most specifically Brooke Mac, TWR just isn't relevant anymore at this point; everyone's focusing on Spec, CRC, and then maybe TWR, although I'd probably put the Syndicate ahead of them. This has to be fueling TWR, though, expecting a big year from The Bulldog.

jtorlando25 (Apr 12, 2013 at 11:35)

"everyone's focusing on Spec, CRC, and then maybe TWR"
Are you just saying that because that's the order pinkbike got around to posting the team info? and if it's on pb, it has to be true...

scotlanddownhill (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:16)

brook is a fantastic rider and i'm sure he will produce what the results.... just cant believe Trek would show every shot of him on their bike in slow mo..... FFS ..... i want to see him flat out, not bouncing around some corner. I never watched the rest of them after that slow mo montage.

DARKSTAR63 (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:17)

Yeah I agree, saying "everybody is focusing on" based on media coverage is speculative at best. Now, no doubt eyes are on Gwin... but to say that Trek is irrelavant without him?? ... I have to disagree.

Enduro27 (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:41)

im focusing on hutchinson united ride...

arcticDDD (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:50)

I have to disagree about TWR being irrelevant. I think with Gwin gone, they're going to push their riders harder to make a statement that they weren't dependent on Gwin. I definitely going to pay more attention to TWR this season.

gianttrace4 (Apr 12, 2013 at 12:52)

Don't forget about the devinci racing team too

DragontalesDH (Apr 12, 2013 at 18:46)

Hutchinson and devinci are two teams i think are gonna kill it. But has everyone forgotten about Giant? Factory offroad should be awesome this year. Hart and Needles train like mad men for the win and of coarse their companies pour an insane amount of money into them to be the best. Also with the addition of marcelo guiturez (SP?) These guys are gonna rip!

ndubl8 (Apr 13, 2013 at 11:24)

surprised at all the neg props, all i was getting at was really the truth, in that teams like specialized and crc, with their big offseason moves, have been very up-front with their fans and pushing their teams/products more than past years. whether you like it or not, pinkbike is a huge media outlet for the dh scene, and while my opinion has nothing to do with the "order pinkbike got around to posting team info," both the specialized and crc teams have been pushing tons of stuff on media outlets to stay out in the forefront among fans. these rider profiles by TWR are the first thing i can remember them doing since the gwin situation exploded and there were threats of lawsuits. and just to reiterate my closing sentence, which i feel is being ignored in my original post, i'm expecting a big year from Brooke and TWR, and as a fan i just wished they had shown the confidence in their lineup like spec and crc did from the very beginning, rather than drifting to the background for a bit.

Where Aaron Gwin? Oh... yeah... now I rememeber... my bad...
