No. He's the same age.

Don't be ridiculous, he's at least 2 years older than he was in 2008. Maybe even 3

I think since he's gotten married, he's mellowed...but in a good way.

He's always been pretty freaking mellow. For the longest time I thought he was constantly stoned but he's clean as whistle.

Hoping for a strong 2021 for him. Get all that rain off of the track and I bet we'll start seeing some podiums again. Hopefully the Frenchies leave a little room at the top!

Gwin FTW!

I have quite a list of people I'd love to see on the top step this year: Troy Brosnan, Aaron Gwinn, Tahnee Seagrave, Luca Shaw, Troy Brosnan, Nina Hoffman, Greg Minaar, Finn IIes. Those are just some of the established crew.. The Jr's moving up will be fun to watch as well. Hoping for a stellar racing season.

Don't forget Troy Brosnan, would love to see him up there.

Such an amazing rider, arguably the best to do it but.... there are so many hungry riders out there now that will make sure they do the prep. Not riding in the wet for over a year since the last World Cup?? As you get older you have different priorities (marriage, kids, house etc). With all that Minaar has, he’s still prepared to base himself overseas for part of the year.
Great video series by the way and I’m still confident that Gwin will get more wins and enjoyment from the sport.
Good luck this year

If I would get only paid only 1*100 of what he's paid I wouldn't think twice to spend at least 1 month a year in Canada or UK to get over used and test with mud...

hed literally be the same as trump.

Listened to him on Chris Hall's Downtime podcast which was great. He still has the speed and when the scheduling gets back to normal we'll see him back at the top.

downtimepodcast (Mar 10, 2021 at 22:57)

thanks @FUbob glad you enjoyed it

GSuperstar (Mar 11, 2021 at 3:00)

@downtimepodcast: Agreed podcast was awesome. I'm now a subscriber haha.

I love his attitude to stuff. Even the YT aspect, you can tell they clearly screwed him and even so, he wishes them the best, understands what a company has to do etc. Super genuine guy.

downtimepodcast (Mar 11, 2021 at 3:36)

@GSuperstar: thanks mate! Glad to have you onboard.

gordonwilson (Mar 11, 2021 at 20:06)

@downtimepodcast: thank you! Your work regularly gets me through my trainer sessions. Appreciate it man!

downtimepodcast (Mar 11, 2021 at 22:57)

@Silocycle: it's a pleasure!

Trail6 (Mar 10, 2021 at 13:55)

Damn, cant wait for race day. I'm as exited as you are Gwin!

benr33der (Mar 10, 2021 at 17:03)

Clay for the win.

pinkknip (Mar 11, 2021 at 0:46)

Still see his chainless flow in Leogang.

bombdabass FL (Mar 11, 2021 at 4:58)

Gwin now has his own Marvel Avengers soundtrack to his videos. Get the boy a hammer or a shield to go with it. Love a bit of rousing drama music

shawnca7 FL (Mar 12, 2021 at 7:30)

Looking at his current IG posts it looks like Thor might be a sponsor of his.

taskmgr (Mar 10, 2021 at 12:35)

I see what they did there. INTENSEity nice work guys. Real creative stuff over here.

braydonbr (Mar 10, 2021 at 15:54)

So. Good.

aljoburr FL (Mar 11, 2021 at 5:25)

Wet weather riding is all about riding like it is dry, does work, until it does not?

Vudu74 FL (Mar 11, 2021 at 6:11)

So, his ridden for both Monster and Red Bull??

shawnca7 FL (Mar 12, 2021 at 7:28)

I didn't realize that until this video either.

Who wants to wager he don’t win another WC race ?

Ever? Not sure you can totally count Gwin out for another future win. Granted he's been quiet for a bit but he's unreal when it all comes together.

JeffreyJim (Mar 10, 2021 at 13:03)

I'll take that wager. He'll win at least one more.

He won't.

splsce (Mar 10, 2021 at 14:12)

I’ll wager Harry and what’s her face. If Gwin wins you take them back. If he doesn’t, well you still take them back but you feel good about it because you won.

gramboh FL (Mar 10, 2021 at 14:16)

This season feels like do or die for him in terms of being a contender for wins/overall. Injury comeback and COVID disruption was a theme last year, this season he's had over a year on the new 279 DH prototype, testing, training and no injuries... Absolutely he is a top 10 rider, but to prove he is a contender for #1 we will know soon.

abueno (Mar 11, 2021 at 12:05)

@gramboh: I’m with you, he has to win a minimum of one or the show is over imo. Not with his career but with some of his contract obligations. He’s got time but it’s been a strange few years for all American racers and he is no doubt more in the spotlight than others, for winning.

jaame (Mar 12, 2021 at 7:42)

@abueno: I would love it if he won a world champs title just once. I doubt he will but he deserves that trophy for what he's done for the sport.
World cups wise, I doubt he will ever win another race. I doubt he will win the world's either but I hope he does.
