Elliot Jamieson Takes Bronze at World Champs
We've had our eye on Elliot all season, wishing we could get some of our product on him. We finally got connected right after his Crankworx Whistler win, and as they say, the rest is history.
We got him knee pads the day before he left to Europe for the enduro World Championship. He instantly felt comfortable in the pads and decided to wear them for his biggest race of the year.
Read below how Elliot's Worlds race went.

Having had some to reflect on World Championships I am left immensely proud, grateful, and determined. Proud to have been able to represent and deliver Canada a bronze medal, grateful to battle against my idols who happen to be my best friends, and determined to continue learning, improving, and evolving.
The week was hectic, as are most race weeks, but I love the day-to-day hustle building up to the race day performance. Bike work, meal prep, changing schedules, Worlds tested our crew’s fortitude, but when race day came, everything clicked.
The Swiss venue of Aletsch Arena is a beast. High elevation combined with physically relentless stages made this race one of the most challenging of the season. As I waited in the finish corral with the final three riders coming down behind me, I truly felt I had left everything on the tracks that day. When the leaderboard finalized with my name sitting in the bronze medal position, my friends, teammates, and lifelong role models exploded with excitement and engulfed me with hugs of joy. It was a moment in time that I will remember for the rest of my career, a moment that showed me why enduro racing is the best sport out there.

"These kneepads are a massive win—elastic and silicone print keep them perfectly in place (even racing in shorts), the longer length offers great coverage, and they’re impressively comfortable with zero chafing, even on big training or race days. Clean style, dialed fit, no complaints.”

A pedal-friendly pad that doesn't sacrifice any level of protection. A blend of durable, highly breathable materials and features allow this to be the new standard in trail knee protection.
