 mikelevy - this is as close to mama birding as things got. Levy was so tired he needed to be hand fed.
You too could experience the majesty of working with Mike Levy.

As Pinkbike continues to grow, we're looking to fill two new roles: a North American Content Manager and a Social Media Coordinator. We work hard to get people fired up on mountain biking every day, and these roles will help us keep spreading that message worldwide.


Marketing Coordinator

As Marketing Coordinator, you’ll facilitate and execute our events and implement the overall marketing strategy. You’ll be responsible for planning and executing event activations, marketing campaigns and initiatives by assembling and analyzing forecasts; preparing strategies, plans and objectives; planning and organizing promotional presentations. (Read full job description and how to apply...)

PB Team

North American Content Manager

As Content Manager, you’ll build, facilitate, and execute editorial plans. You’ll work with technical editors, writers, photographers, brands, trail organizations, and riders to share great content. You’ll follow races and post results, and you’ll always have your fingers on the pulse of the mountain bike world. You’ll bring an organized perspective, keen eye for detail, and a ruthless approach to misused commas. (Read full job description and how to apply...)
Hannah Barnes

Social Media Coordinator

As Social Media Coordinator, you’ll communicate our editorial materials across all our social media properties. You’ll work with our editorial and sales teams to support stories, as well as helping execute promotional campaigns. You’ll be responsible for finding and sharing the freshest, most engaging content from brands, trail organizations, riders, and more. You’ll engage with and grow our community in an authentic, inspiring manner, contributing to and helping evolve the PB social voice. (Read full job description and how to apply...)

The work is high energy, demanding, and fast paced. We believe in positive work-life balance and prioritise task completion over office hours. The people here are a focused and fun loving crew that are passionate about bikes. Our office is located in Squamish, within full view of the Chief and the many mountains that make it a mountain bike mecca, and all of us appreciate the easy-going vibe and the tight-knit team culture.

 Dear whoever happens to get these jobs,

Please stop it with the E-Bike nonsense. Start a separate website for those vehicles. You may post an E-Bike video every Monday in the Movies for your Monday section.

Sincerely,
99% of your content viewers

 You just don't understand. All that money made from pushing those eBikes news on the Website is now used to hire 2 people that will give you even mode eBikes stuff to read so that they can have a salary raise.

 @TheOriginalTwoTone: Just pointing out the absurdity of it all. Ebikes arguments usually fall into 1) they destroy the trail beyond recognition or 2) they steal your KOMs in the middle of the night while you are not looking. Wyn didnt do either... he just had fun on a bike.

 Fun fact! In Alberta, it is required by law to wear a DOT certified helmet when riding an e-bike! The e-bike is also required to be fitted with 'vehicle' equipment, including head, tail, and brake lights, as well as a horn! Suck it 'e-bikes aren't motorcycles' crew!

 Ebikes should be required to have insurance in-order to ride on streets. In my city, ebike ownership is comprised of the homeless and junkies. They ride in any lane they choose to, don't need signals, ride in the middle of the lane...it's messed up.

 I just got offered both positions...So here is what i aim to do now that my finger will be on the pulse of MTBing.....
No e-bike clickbait
Not more than one pedal review a year
Low to mid level bike reviews and shootouts
The words " it came alive on the downhill, or it really comes alive when pointed down" or descriptions like then, will never be used . again.
"quiver killer" or "quiver" will never be used when talikng about bikes,,,, only arrows.
When reviewing a 10k bike...No reviewer shall ever say"this is what I would change" or anything that makes you want to wrap that 10k bike around the reviewers head.
More sarcastic comments will be encouraged
And SAG will be set to 25%.

The New PinkBike for a better future.
  • 10 0
 ...and SAG will stop being capitalized or punctuated. It's sag. It is how much the bike sinks into it's travel with you sitting on it. There's no need to make it seem like something cool that can be marketed, packaged, and sold.

 "You’ll work with our editorial and sales teams to support stories"

Meaning how to disguise product promotions inside editorial features.
  • 45 3
 climbs like a xc bike ,descends like a dh bike. is longer lower and slacker and has extra eagle. best bike ever. but the nobby nics were not that great so the bike wasn't that good in corners. the rear triangle snapped but it's a preproduction model so it's perfect anyways.
carbon, tire inserts are so good right? electric deraillers, new 900mm dropper post! wow!! for the low price of 25999$ USD its worth it until all the standards change in 2 months. but we wont mention that until later Wink

can i get paid now?
  • 3 1
 well, unless we all decide we want to pay 5.99/month for a subscription, that's how it's going to work! Servers, social media coordinators, troll farmers... everything costs money! Big Grin

 hire me, i really need a job and mountain bikes=life, surely i have none of the required experience but i do share the same passion for life on two wheels. Ive often found experience to be overrated anyway, a positive, can-do attitude is all the experience one needs in this life. Skill sets and techniques can be taught but when it comes to passion you either have it or you dont.
