Hotlanta left me with a craving for T-Bone, anyone else? Too soon? Lets take a look at the riders that didn’t T-Bone someone for the last transfer spot and came up Just Short of making the main event.

#80 – Fredrik Noren
Lets get to know one of Sweden’s best riders. I assure you just like Swedish meatballs you can’t not like this guy. |
#374 – Cody Gilmore
If you don’t know who Cody Gilmore is, know this, he’s having more fun then all of us. After a scary brush with cancer at an age much to young, Gilmore is living every moment to the fullest. I rang up his close friend Denny Stephenson, yes that Denny Stephenson to get a little insight into Gilmore.
Instagram Emulation
Stats: Over double the amount of followers for Fredrik, apparently Instagram is popular in Sweden. How did Fredrik get that hyphen above the e I’m not sure, but I like it. I like the words of wisdom that Gilmore provides “If you’re not doing it your own way, then whose way are you doing it?” |
Xray: A broken wrist is never good they can take awhile to heal and/or require surgery. (full disclosure I’m not a doctor and I didn’t’ stay at a Holiday Inn last night.) There is broken collarbones, and then there is BROKEN collarbones, this is an x-ray of the later. |
Wheelie: Fredrik can wheelie and wheelie well, now you know. Gilmore displays a slightly different type of wheelie, the elusive handlebar beer bong wheelie. |
Random bike parts: On occasion you see people trying to sell things on Instagram I wonder if it ever works. This cylinder could probably buff out, just needs a little elbow grease. |
Romantic waterfront pictures: These photos are so much alike it’s creepy. Fredrik kissing his girlfriend on their anniversary, and Gilmore partying with Denny Stephenson on a boat. |
Corner: Perfect form by Fredrik and loamy dirt, ah the great outdoors. Unique corner picture of Gilmore here, I like it. |
Whip: New school vs. old school. Fredrik does more of the turn down style of whip similar to Roczen. Gilmore should have been pro in the 90’s because his whip style and lifestyle fits that era perfectly. |
Dogs: Cute little Swedish puppies. Wow Gilmores friends dog is really, really ugly. |
Random: Fredrik has the Xbrand goggles on lockdown, #clearvision. Gilmores dad Taddy riding dirty. |
Food: The Swede has a sweet tooth. When you consume a pitcher of beer it’s considered a food. |
Tattoo: Friends give friends tattoos. Fredriks girlfriend gave him some Bic ink. Gilmore and Denny Stephenson do the real thing. Don’t try this at home kids. |
