Re: Jay Petervary sacked
I'm also fancying some 'DON'T Support Your Local Bikepacker' stickers.
May the bridges you burn light your way

A "I hate stickers" sticker, just to sow confusion?

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
Back on topic - there seems to be no discussion of this Stateside. Not seen anything on MTBR, site and forums, or bikepacking.net forums. Nothing on bikepacking.com either. No idea if there's anything being said on FB.

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
Perhaps people are (a) scared of litigation (b) not wanting to nail their flag to a particular mast just yet or (c) waiting to see what JP comes back with?there seems to be no discussion of this Stateside.

Plenty in the various comments underneath articles. About 50/50 I'll buy a new salsa Vs I'll never buy a salsa it seems.

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
On Jp's Facebook, he put a post going out into the countryside, couldn't see a bike
But he had 2 dogs with him basically saying life goes on etc with no reference to
Anything that has happened....

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
JP is more than likely under some kind of contract from Salsa / QBP not to make any comment on this. Also dont know when the termination takes effect from.
The cynic in me says Salsa / QBP threw him under the bus as they thought it better PR / Marketing and more bike sales to take the moral high ground on this one. Never met the guy so cant comment on his character.

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
for sure they did it all for commercial rather than morals reasons- this is basically what capitlaism gives us so is it really worth stating companies make all decisions based on money ?
it seems unlikely they just discovered during this event about his "colourful" interpretation of the rules and spirit of events

Or, an "I hate stickers" embroidered badge.......................just to "sew" confusion...

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
Just been looking at the entry list for this year's Silk Road and both Jay Petervary and Lael Wilcox are on it. Given the sacking, I wonder whether he'll turn up and if there'll be cameras?
Re: Jay Petervary sacked
Very definately. Look at the way it was covered last year.

Re: Jay Petervary sacked
I was thinking along the lines of independant filming focussed on a supported rider for the purposes of brand marketing rather than the organiser promoting the event. Rather more difficult location and terrain methinks.

Yeah, I thought you were, but was too inclined by your unspecific question to give an unspecific answerpistonbroke wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 11:11 am I was thinking along the lines of independant filming focussed on a supported rider for the purposes of brand marketing rather than the organiser promoting the event.

I'm sure some 'self declared bikepacking legends' will be all over the bikepacking media.
Then, after a few years of trying to squeeze as much fame out of they're actions, they resolve to a pseudo subversive style of propagation, which for the reader will result in exactly the same, yet with loss of credibility as it gets a bit hypocritical.
Look at what Mr. Humphreys is up to. Such a good example of this behaviour.
I find it pleasantly amusing
So, who's next?
