From being my pits at World Cups when I was a freeracer, to the first ever Crankworx victory beer shower, @warnerevan dialing in my bikes, @hilldilly2011 letting me steal his copenhagen, Jimmy making the “Zink Lifesaver” shock tune, @amarcouxphotos for crushing the moments, and everything else along the way, thank you!—Cam Zink
It'll be weird to see Cam on anything other than SRAM red, but we're curious whether he's moving over to a Fox/Shimano or putting together his own custom program. We've reached out to Cam and SRAM for comment.
He left Sram to support the Online sales race teams, He is racing for the team Internet. He must be on EPB fiber optic because He FAST tho I mean as a LBS, we can order shimano parts from CR below dealer cost, and shimano is out of stock of same item LOLZ
So i'm eating some raw fresh carrots and they really taste bad. I didn't have anybody to talk to, so I figured it might be the good place to mention it.
I ate some strawberries the other day, they were pretty tastless. Turns out they were from Morocco. Sometimes best to eat fruit n veg thats "in season". Not sure about your carrots though.
I had some honey-glazed carrots over the holidays. With all the honey, I didn't notice if they were fresh. I never though it would come up in conversation though.
@Smokey79: Yep it's best to eat what seasonally grows in the area of your druid-like ancestors. Eat winter fruits in winter, etc. I just learned that oranges are native to China, but I've been eating a grip of California oranges. Maybe that's why I don't get sick much....
Strawberries do not ripen(ie get sweeter )after they are picked. They only change colour to trick you they are ripening( sneaky barstards) . So unless they were airfreighted over night and you buy them that day (which they wont tell you). It is best to choose local. @Smokey79:
@Smokey79: now you mention; when living in London I noticed that english strawberries where tastier than spanish ones, when I know for a fact that spanish ones are better... but spanish ones sold in London where likely picked a few weeks ago in less than optimum moment, so... yeah, better in season, better, locally sourced
@endlessblockades: I don't doubt that. But seems odd to exit a direct sales and one of the biggest component companies. Seems like easy money if bikes keep selling for 4-10k
@Soilsledding: He's still with YT! According to his IG he also signed the most lucrative contract of his career - with who I don't know. That kid lands on his feet. He's just no longer running the terribly time-consuming YT USA distro He basically launched and legitimized the brand in the USA and can now focus on riding, Biggest Little Fest, his own Sensus company, and his Zink self*

@endlessblockades: He's like a cat. Just when you think he's going to land rock bottom face first he flips over one more time to land on all two wheels pulling the biggest trick ever making it look as easy as if he was eating a piece of carrot cake for breakfast.
@seraph: right! I mean anybody can ride a controlled bike. Try throwing a flat 3 on a pogostick with wheels and ya got my respect! Cam, hope the new sus doesnt make it too easy.

I like the headline phrasing "off SRAM & RockShox" as if he's getting off Coke & Meth...I'm glad Cam is finally getting the help he needs and stays off the crap.
I would love to have just a little insight as to why stuff like that happens. Zink has been with that brand since the very beginning ... why change now ? Even in those years when he jumped from one bike brand to the next(Felt,Hyper,Evil,corsair etc.) SRAM was always a constant. Unless Zink starts his own brand the whole thing makes 0 sense to me. What's next ? Is he off Troy Lee ? No hate, I'm just curious!
Yeah that’s what im saying, is that after his resigning with YT he might be in full factory spec YT, as his re-signing was as Cam quotes, the most lucrative of his career. So could be the increase from YT has him on a stock bike @Rubberelli:
@Monstertruckermotherfuker: Its the new marketing hype now that all mountain...I mean enduro..is a few years old. The hook line has officially been cast. #freeracersmatter
SRAM didn't extend a lot of contracts that ran out in 2017. Just keep your eyes open in the WC pits this year. Seems like they aren't doing good right now
#aintdead
Oh yeah and SRAM/ZINK etc.

Looks like a 40 on that bike
