 The fact that he can retire and THEN sign with a new team tells you about how good he is.

 Or he hates household chores too

 Hopefully HE is helping with getting a new DH sled out. Gotta to imagine HE would be a great resource during development. We need to be able to make fun of DENTISTs at dh events too

 Sick Mick didn't retire from racing , just the World Cup downhill

 this reminds me of the college football trope of the douchebag coach "retiring" and wanting to "spend more time with my family", which usually lasts about 4 months.

 They seem to be on quite the signing spree. Hopefully old mate Keegan can keep his grasp of the liquor in control.

 @enduroNZ: nah, he’s not fast and he’s a dick in person at every event I’ve had to deal with him. Plus he’s a drunk. Not really anything to be jealous of or aspire to. Just a sad example of the bike world.

 So does this mean they are going to be able to get their frames warrantied in a reasonable time?
  • 55 2
 Yes. They are sending Mick and Jared to Asia as we speak to hop on the assembly line and start cranking out frames.

 They were excellent to me when I needed to warranty my SB5.5 upgraded me to a new SB150 including a Float X2, really above and beyond, and they were quick to boot. Frames are hard to get RN, I tried to order a Transition Spur in February and I'm being told to expect it in 2023....
  • 5 2
 Yeti has always been on point with warranties and service (like the brand or not). Currently almost ALL bike brands are having issues that we are all 100% aware of for the last two years: COVID related delays on manufacturing, shipping, pricing, sales, etc. etc.

 @XU12XU: Lol I ordered a Spur when it was released... I'm still waiting

 Warrantied my frame last year. Very smooth process and even got to change size and colorways if I wanted. Same with my 3 Switch infinity warranties and they came through fast when i managed to drop a bolt (dont ask). Can only speak for Europe and Silverfish as the distributor but I am impressed.

 @timmy1701:
Currently waiting for half a year (nearly exactly) for a warranty replacement for a SB150 I could only ride for 3 weeks. I think Germany is running through Silverfish also…

 @timmy1701: three switch infinity warranties? Is it that common? Or are you the outlier?

 It's gonna be weird seeing Mick on a good bike. I feel all those years racing DH for Cannondale just did him and his incredible skill a massive disservice.

 sikmik - lives in my hometown. Great guy, and family man! Much respect for him off the bike as on. Congrats on the Yeti gig!!

 Yeti kinda need to make a DH frame? I know we've all been saying this for a while, but it really doesn't make sense to sign Mick and have him on an enduro bike.
  • 4 0
 Unless he wants to race non-DH events. There's been no info on that really, but I'd say him signing with Yeti is a pretty good indication that's the case.
  • 2 1
 I guess for retirement the sb165 could work well enough
  • 1 0
 Not sure Yeti really needs anymore exposure. But happy they are employing more industry talent. And hopefully it's for more than just a free frame Smile

Notice no Ritchie or other Yeti riders there? That actually live in North America? If I missed it/them, let me know.

That's kinda weird...

 Love SikMik... looking forward to him bashing and thrashing on a SB165 w/ DC fork. Occasional social media duties on the e160 okay, but let's keep it real Sik!

 Why does that mental image remind me of him absolutely smashing that single pivot Haro in Earthed 4(?)?

 He also lives in Colorado, so it makes sense to partner with them.
