La Bourde Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 The new bike is shorter and it seems Charlie feels well on it. Massive moves, as usual! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 He seems right at home on it. I wonder if he'll continue to be sponsored by Hope, as the hubs won't fit in his new frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But heāll keep his hope MTB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jere_h Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 (edited) As far as I've seen from the latest videos, he was wearing a Hope jacket in the rain. So yeah he's technically using their products.Ā š I'm not going to spoil the stuff on his Patreon, but that move to Clean seems really wise when you know the reasons.

Come on, what are the reasons, i'm intrigued! The relationship between Jack and Charlie seemed a bit tense, mainly from Jack. But i'm sure there were other aspects that contributed to his move?

Jere_h Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 (edited) Yeah basically only a bunch of old ish farts reading Trials forum anyway so whatever. Let's say it's mainly just the Jack thing. Imagine finally reaching such a crazy life goals and not being appreciated by your main sponsor, because the other team rider needs to always win.

craigjames Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 That's a bit sad really. You'd think that Jack would appreciate some healthy competition to keep pushing him and requiring him to progress. But then from the seems of it his ego gets the better of him. He certainly comes across as a sore loser, i don't understand Jack's bitter comments against Clean either. It's a shame because I think Charlie is a positive to any sponsor, he gets the results and has the right attitude. Without Jack's influence Charlie would probably still be a Crewkerz rider. I wonder if Jack will have the same reaction when the Weightmans start wining events and taking the limelight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jere_h Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 (edited) I've always got that vibe from Jack that his insane skills are partly driven by that desperate need to win forever which is sad. Well I was not completely wrong then, now when it starts to literally show. Must be very common issue in sports at the highest level, although there are guys like Toni Bou who just dominate year after year but still seems positive and humble. However I partly understand Jack's frustration too, as some judging decisions against him have been just plain dumb. But a grown man with a plenty of victories should be able to handle this a bit differently. Yeah will be interesting to see how long the Weightmans stay with Crewkerz or if Jack actually quit like he said.Ā š Edited March 25 by Jere_h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
