[@ivankjurchiev8417]

I loved him since the beginning

[@gunny6517]

Totally Hooked on this series, it’s what brought me over to Pinkbike! Congratulations again to Evan and all the other contestants.. Stay Safe, Ride Hard and Peddle Quicker! See you all in 2021...

[@ems0001]

Nothing wrong with being quiet.. already too many loudmouths in this world. :-)

[@antrace92]

I'm happy for evan, good luck boy!

[@PaulGPixelBike]

He's 21?! What? I thought he's 28ish for sure. Keep up the good work, man. Introverts represent! Yea, boi!

[@gabrielsegura1530]

I’m really glad he won, well deserved

[@thecasualmountainbiker]

I came away from this series wanting to see more of Chappetta. I love how hard she charges on the bike. Her commentary is spot on and she comes across as an authority on every topic. @Pinkbike, if you can get her in for more content please do so.

[@chrismccaffrey8109]

Commenting a year later to say that they nailed it with this one, so much cool content from her recently

[@bananas700]

loved watchting this from ep 1 right to the end keep it up guys

[@danbradley1537]

Who else was hooked for this entire series?

[@dominikmaslanek4708]

Me for sure

[@timotheyszczepanski6644]

I liked it but so much unfairness and cringe

[@januhelj3796]

Who didn't

[@lukasbormann4830]

Not after they kicked out some of the best riders and let joe stay

[@JonathanCastonguay13]

Perfect winner, great show! Good entertainment.

[@martinschwartz7342]

Good luck in your new career, Evan. You seem like a really good-hearted person so I am glad you won. May God bless you and your new endeavor.

[@paulwintermute1495]

For weeks I was so stoked for Thursday mornings because I knew a new PBA episode would drop! Congrats to Evan and to Pinkbike for an awesome series!

[@rogergrant455]

Was not able to watch the last show but came across this just now and my boy Evan won!!!! I had him to win from the beginning. Congrats!!!!!!!! Evan, you are only 21 years old, to be the best you have to emulate the best and learn from the best. I suggest you look up to Loic Bruni. He is awesome!!!! You have a lot of work to do with training and endurance but it's all about FOCUS and taking one day at a time! It will come. You have the right attitude, are so humble and you are deserving of the win but I would like to see the killer instinct rise up in you. Look up to Bruni, if possible make contact with him and meet him in person, it will set you on your course and will truly motivate and inspire you. Good luck and above all else God bless! Be safe my friend.

[@TBK-Worldview]

Congrats Evan🥳👍🏾.. binged on this series the whole weekend.. pray that you stay humble and real beyond this & good luck with your pro career 🥳🥳🚵‍♀️

[@gailbinkleyiii4399]

A true example! Well done man, it's been awesome to watch the series. Looking forward to what the future will bring for you!

[@jefflee7704]

What a true gentleman and humble guy, deserved to win and become a professional biker

[@masondorn9750]

Pinkbike academy kids? I would be down 🤘🚵

[@nopalfamilia3227]

So happy for you bra. I literally binge watched all episodes in two weeks.

[@lukepw08]

Pinkbike can you make videos next year off all of Evans races?

[@Shezaad18]

This was a great series with amazing contestants. A deserved winner in Evan. Will be watching for Evan at EWS Next season is going to be awesome.

[@nismokure]

I hope season 2 will come out soon

[@JulioGiani]

When will be the next one??

[@newttella1043]

Picking Evan says a lot about the kind of company Orbea and Pinkbike are. They chose a skilled, classy, and humble guy that speaks with his bike and actions off the bike. Well deserved!

[@alexskinner4720]

Congrats evan

[@stevewright2813]

I was routing for Evan. I’m glad he won. I dig the show!

[@tywitt3351]

Thanks for the fun series Pinkbike. Just what the doctor ordered. Stoked to see Evan get out and race. Super deserving winner.

[@cjgauss6079]

Still cannot comprehend how Angie made it as far as she did. Go Evan, he is fast, humble and a great winner.

[@Kev.in-Bike]

Good luck for this next year Evan 👍🏻

[@Filzkiiz]

YesSiRr!!😎👊🔥💯💯!! Made it!!👊!! Congratz!!

[@ClarkWells7]

Loved the show and really looking for a season 2 with maybe a bit more US talent joining in. Congrats to the winner, super genuine guy for sure. Lastly, next season throw some hard tail action in there as well!!!

[@ShitStefanShoots]

well there are SO MANY nations having top contenders in the sport - France for example.... I don't care for the flag as long as it's a good rider and kind person.

[@newttella1043]

When travel restrictions fade out, it's going to be amazing.

[@adammikesaliasfreshprince4124]

Insane competition :) send greetings from Czech Republic ! ;) I was super amazed, when I saw that one of the competetors is from my home country :) Evan and Ben rules ! :D

[@willemvickers9537]

Even really earned it

[@andrewpm2]

So glad for Evan. I was rooting for him and Addison from day 1. Orbea and Evan will both mutually benefit from this partnership.

[@justindiamanti1586]

Great interview Christina!! It will be cool to follow his progress.

[@jordmosselman3403]

Racing season ews, lots a training, lots a traveling, lots a waiting, then on a couple a days, lots a bike climbing topped with 3 mins of terror decending a sick track!! Go climb the podia Ewan!!

[@rohanchivukula2809]

waiting for part.2 of this series lol

[@rickackley158]

Awesome, totally awesome. This makes me want to ride. Great job Christina

[@fillfreakin2245]

Good luck in the coming racing season Evan!

[@miguelrodriguez8205]

Evan you're the man!!! Get hungry and eat it all up bro Take It All In!!:) best wishes for 2021!! I'll be flowing you all the way!!:)

[@symmetricon1982]

So happy for this dude

[@noah_m]

Next season can we have more actual races or maybe some sort of XC race to test their endurance instead of these challenges that hardly involve bikes

[@JustAGlitchFL]

They had a XC race.

[@jamesbooth1860]

Christina also explained exactly why they didn't do that

[@noah_m]

@@jamesbooth1860 what was the reason

[@vicgaming1234]

I was rooting for him on the 2nd to last episode I’m glad he won it

[@ezraclark1793]

I wanna see a bike check with the bikes they had prior to the academy

[@honzahalik5750]

Who wants season 2

[@tdone2811]

Mint winner...get after it dude. All the best...keep having fun

dang he's evolved so much!

[@kleinkurti]

Such a cool guy. Congrats and all the best from germany

[@zk420zk]

Such a genuine dude. Good luck bro.

[@jorjorwell1984]

Can we agree that Evans kit looks absolutely sick?

[@shaunmostert1585]

I love that Eva won, Ben would have been a stringer contender without the attitude... No sponsor wants a liability. I think Evan lives for this which is what makes him so good...

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

Great interview Christina

[@Schevron]

If you continue to do interviews - you should work on that: "and stuff" Your really saying that a lot 😉 Congrats to the Win

[@casestudymtb]

Haha, still fewer "like"s than Ben would be dropping

[@senyaw53]

He is a logger from Revelstoke, give him some time.

[@jordanslabbynck7795]

he is FOR SURE Canadian and the best guy to win.

[@JulioGiani]

If the next one will be just for who lives in Canada, let us know before!! I will move in just to try to be chosen

[@ImpulseAudioSpeakers]

In their podcast they said they really want to make it world wide. The covid prevented them from making it extend beyond the borders unfortunately.

[@JB50713]

He is a little quiet (I would be too) but probably just getting used to the interviewing thing. I believe he’s in it 110% percent and will shine for Orbea!

[@robertdarcy2168]

Good job Pink bike, nice follow through. Raptor Rob.

[@CaviDS]

Deffinitly the right guy to win!!

[@DrewJ79]

It was a great show, I was rooting for Evan to win from early on.

[@debbiegrooman5800]

I was rooting for you from day one Spicoli! 💜 Eh!

[@believe8263]

Well deserved Evan.

[@georgestandish7183]

Yess Evan!!!

[@designatedpinchrunner]

You guys should have a PinkBike academy for groms

[@Yhigma]

Don't let it slip Evan. Stay hungry. Make the opportunity worth it

[@Charlie_Broadbent]

I’m so glad he won cus he’s a nice guy and he quit his job to do it

[@lachlanmartin4046]

Yay go Evan

[@MrDTrain194]

Love that he gets a gold bike from Orbea to ride after the series and nobody knew he'd won.

[@wadeball6816]

Sick bike love the color

[@cianmcguigan7654]

Has the trek slash always been specked with a marzochi?

[@25percentofphrog]

You should do a youth PinkBike Academy

[@timstephens753]

Waiting for the Remy and Evan collab

[@stefanscavazza8274]

I slept on evan the entire show, didnt see him going all the way, that changed nearing the end, damn he deserves it...

[@martintuma9260]

most canadian person who ever lived

[@kopel_sk896]

what happens to other participants' bikes?

[@owenbloomfield7003]

He and Ben were so close but I think Ben should have won

[@jamesdawg3079]

Is there going to be a European version

[@pace_tracker]

Go Evan Go!!!

[@EBMTB77]

Does Evan have a KZbin chanell?

[@andrewleighton472]

would also follow if he does. Nice to see his progress

[@ernestjohnson4436]

You guys should do how to becomea moutain biker Academy like mountain biking 101 learning all the ins and outs of it. I would totally join that

[@tysonmtb8950]

Is the PinkBike Academy going to be a yearly thing

[@tristanmcfee5238]

Did all the competitors keep the bikes they used or were they handed back to Orbea

[@leantractor2775]

atta boy evan

[@yeetgamer4292]

They should do a jr. version!

[@sarahcvk4607]

Haha the high-five fist bump. Classic

Evan evan evan! The humble mountain rumbler

[@tom_wright]

You should do pinkbike academy kids! And if you do, COUNT ME IN! 😂✌

[@cvbvtv9691]

Christina what helmet are you wearing? I got a new helmet for Christmas and I wish it was that one!

[@hudsonzeber1180]

U guys should do a teenager pink bike academy next year

[@דורוןווליכמן]

How come he doesn't wear and use his sponsers products? (Helmet, brakes etc.)

[@FoilPowell]

Want to win Pink bike academy 2? Step 1. be canadian. That's it! You're in!

[@JustAGlitchFL]

The border was is locked down, so it is really hard to get people from the US up to Canada.

[@FoilPowell]

@@JustAGlitchFL doesn't matter. ews, downhill world cup, PB academy... The bike industry sees zero value in the United States

[@newttella1043]

Zero value in the US?? Says who??? Stop being a cry baby. You do realize it was BOTH the US and Canadian governments that closed the border? The only sports league allowed to work was the NHL, at great costs to the NHL but they have the money. PBA ain't that big.

[@FoilPowell]

@@newttella1043 NHL? What's that?

[@newttella1043]

@@FoilPowell The National Hockey League, a multi billion dollar professional Ice hockey league that was able to centralize and COVID test all their millionaire players from all over the world to play in one Canadian city, Edmonton. Sorry but EWS and Pink bike care a lot about US riders but can't spend that kind of money to help amateur athletes to quarantine for two weeks and daily rapid COVID testing.

Is there a age limit
