 @irishkiwimadman: Wait... wasn't this PBA stuff about privateers?
  • 3 0
 @chmurka3rg: He and most likely all the other competitors on PBA have local industry support, Bradley and all other competitors aren't on factory teams and don't receive an income from riding so therefore are privateers. At most they may receive equipment for free.

 Blenki kills it at home, but gone off the boil at World cups?

 that's generally what happens when there's 4 other pros at home like you and then 200 people just like you when you open it up to the world. its hard out there in the big pond.

 @Sweatypants: yeh but he used to be used to be a top 10/top 5 rider consistently so wonder what has happened? has he slowed down or has everyone else got faster?
  • 2 1
 @Ds1234: he's probably stayed pretty much at the same pace it's just that the younger generation and the groms coming up behind them are out of this world.

 @inside-plus: yup age and the field getting faster is defo a factor. Must be incredibly hard to stay at the top year after year and still be motivated
