Specialized Cuts Global Ambassador Program
@WayneParsons: ski industry has these types too.
This quote got me
"While Swallow, Hathaway, and Fassbinder are all reeling personally from the severing of ties with Specialized, they are also lamenting the loss of what they thought was the brand’s desire to do more than just sell bikes."
What the hell did you think your "job" was? Likes and follows don't pay the bills.
That being said when bikes have been unobtainium for 3ish years and Specialized has a 40% off sale I can't say I know what they are doing either?

Norco Pauses its DH & XC Factory Teams for 2023
@blowmyfuse: arguably the direct to consumer model lets them make money and sponsor a team, all the people I know that ride YT bought the bike because it was cheaper than the equivalent LBS specced bike not because of any team rider.

@heavyp: in survey after survey done by the industry to consumers, athlete endorsement is not in the top 5 reasons people buy bikes (or skis).

Opinion: The Pace of Change in the MTB World is Slowing Down, and I'm All For It
I'm quite enjoying all the posters on here with the "my bike from 201x did this or that" get back to me when you can compare your current bike to something from 198x or the 90's.

@PtDiddy: I own a small bike shop. I too own more guns than bikes. Heck, most of my PRS rifle setups are worth more than my bikes.
