The (actual) life of a professional MTB racer: Evan Wall

[@believe8263]

Evan is such a classy dude. Not fake at all and very humble. Very deserving of what he has.

[@kevinfrmkdz]

Still glad Evan won, dudes so humble 🤘

[@tobiasstock8432]

Really a super cool guy. Humbleness is a good attribute, but too much could lead to underachieving. Hopefully the guy shoots for the stars. He has the potential to be top tier, I just hope he has the drive.

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Oh man I get the vibe that he's got PLENTY of drive, and he just tones it down a bit when being social. Which makes him a great dude to ride and hang with!

[@tobiasstock8432]

@@JeffKendallWeed Yeah maybe drive isn't the right word... I was kind of referring to when he was saying he was hoping to get top 30 or 20 in EWS. I think he definitely has the potential to get higher, even though there is tough competition. I know it is the corniest thing to say ever, but I think the first step for him is for him to believe that he can do it. I'm no expert, and I have very little experience with professional mountain biking, but I can see that this guy has some talent for sure. I hope he will succeed even farther than he has made it right now. (Anyone reading this please understand this is my opinion- I am not an authority on this matter, I am just expressing what I think is true about Evan. Evan knows what he has to do better than anyone else. I am just a random guy commenting on the internet.)

[@trillbill9378]

Really stoked to see a guy with proper morals and humble demeanor winning at life and doing what they love. Cheers homies!!

[@hobbes8737]

I know these trails very well , and that manual on the rock roll at the start is mind boggling . Eye opening stuff for me, a shredder who can ride all the double blacks .

[@Getoutside2day]

Evan is such a great humble guy. I wish him the best at EWS . Thanks JKW for sharing the good vibes 😎 🔥

[@barbbrazes869]

Love the ride and the interview!! Evan so chill, fun, good-natured!!

[@DTN504]

This man Evan is super humble. Glad good things are happening for him.

[@CyclesDevinci]

Amazing! Awesome video, Jeff!

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Thanks a ton, glad you enjoyed it!

[@OTBregularly]

What a chill dude. I’ve only been riding for a year after some work friends talked me into it. I didn’t have a clue as to how friendly everyone is, especially when you’re stopped and off to the side of the main trail line taking a rest or whatever. Not one person rides past you without asking if you need help. Some others stop and just hang out. Next thing you know, two turns into three then 4,5,6. Besides pickup basketball I’ve never experienced that in any other sport.

[@scblurlt1962]

Good luck in upcoming season Evan !! Squamish is sending some awesome riders out there this year

[@khai6101]

Love that trail! I ride it slower and with far less style than you guys but it's always a blast! On the topic of meeting/seeing pro riders, the last time I rode that trail we went by Jackson Goldstone staging by his vehicle.

[@burkebair]

Those trails look awesome! BC is a bucket list MTB trip for sure!

[@HaltonOutdoors]

Good luck on this race season Evan! So nice to see you show us your home trails!

[@owenkennedy7854]

Super well made video man. The interview and the riding and the editing and the angles, all super well done. Love it

[@dustythewhale3809]

Drop In TV is what got me interested in MTBing... it used to be on Fuse I think back in 2008.

[@PedroGentilOliveira]

Man, that was a sweet interview and look behind the scenes. Even Wall seems likes a really cool guy. Keeps them videos coming 👍

[@barbbrazes869]

Good luck to Evan!!!

[@tobiasstock8432]

"Your not gonna see Kobe at your local pickup game" Lmao man you know he's dead right?😆

[@JeffKendallWeed]

Oh shoot, I honestly had no idea. I couldn't think of any basketball players on the spot, and figured Dennis Rodman or Michael Jordan were too old school. I don't follow any stick or ball sports whatsoever. My bad!

[@justinosborn826]

I mean, he's not wrong...

[@tobiasstock8432]

@@JeffKendallWeed Yeah no your totally good, I just thought that was funny because it would be impossible to see him there. It wasn't an attack on your character. I don't follow those types of sports either anymore as I have gotten the adrenaline bug, and if there isn't a risk factor the sport isn't interesting to me anymore. Btw love your videos and your riding style. So clean and precise.

[@wildboybatko]

Am I going to hell cuz I laughed so hard on that? 😅

[@oskarstaudte]

Who doesnt like Evan, such a nice humble dude!

[@brianshelford2099]

Good luck Evan! You seem like the same guy we all watched win PBA. Keep it up. Will be tracking your progress!

[@MarioXcore1]

RIP Kobe man 🙏

[@vincedavis5326]

Best of luck Evan!

[@jeffsharp4982]

Cool! Excited to see the Chili review!

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Very cool, what an interesting guy, and extremely fast and talented bike rider. Like that he cross trains on the yz, and yes, it gives you a full body workout!

[@renereyes4634]

Good luck Evan, nice video Jeff!

[@snat6299]

Good luck Evan!

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

This is exceptional content on all levels!

[@bodhi47]

Glad he's doing well.

[@BCursed2012]

Great video Jeff.

[@Happy_Biker]

Is the Knolly a rental, and/or will there be a review coming? Fun video, good guy.

[@non_clemente]

this is a nice format, wish you could go to Red Bull Formation and do a piece on some of the freeriders there.

[@wattermelon1510]

Great vid. Loves your stuff JKW. If you have any of your extra Jenson stuff laying around hook a brother up. Just saying. Happy trails.

[@JaggedTusk]

Sweet video. Evan seems like such down-to-earth guy. Tell us a bit more about that Knolly you're riding.

[@lagwall]

Great Vid!

[@moderategnar3259]

Evan's a stand up guy!

[@schmidt5988]

awesome video always love the positive vibes of ur videos

[@joncam3045]

you should have a meet and greet bike ride Jeff

[@lynnbattista787]

Great person

[@pauleddy5146]

Expectations to do your best and see where you're at s a great way to start. Once you know where you fit, then you work to better that position. Little chunks at a time, and, if you stay healthy, you'll get a few wins under your belt! Shiny side up, no diggers.

[@sdiss98]

Can confirm, prolly not gonna run into Kobe at your local pickup basketball game…😝

[@mattlarsen8585]

Really good video, would love if you started interviewing more pros

[@NoBrakes23]

I enjoyed the video, but now I am wondering if you just acquired a 4 stroke Husky.

[@PaulGPixelBike]

I thought he was racing for Orbea. Did they drop him, or did he leave?

[@MrSupermugen]

one year contract for winning - then your on your own lol

[@GaedeRafael]

Oohhh my god... so hard to interview and to talk to this guy! So limited! Congrats for your efforts

[@IDoBlues]

What was the trail? (his favorite in Squamish)

[@kalso69]

good luck Evan....

[@danielbunimovich6570]

shredder! that moto clip of him is on a pretty janky line, steeper than it looks on video

[@notree666]

Sweet ride.

[@hugocrites2075]

what is the music at 5;20?

Hi

[@vtwl24]

Left Orbea after he won, what a joke
