You must be hyped to have a signature frame colourway.

Dave at WTP told me about it and I got really excited because I never thought I’d have a signature colorway for Wethepeople. It’s a dream come true!

Can you explain more about the Trigger frame and what makes it a perfect match for your riding?

First of all the top tube is 20.5 which is perfect for me. I’m a short guy so I like a small bike so that I can control better. The overall geometry is perfect for every riding style.

Tell us about the colour and graphics, how much input did you have here and why did you choose them?

Well, red is my favorite color and I picked metallic because my favorite clip of all time is a 360 table that Garrett Reynolds did in his Fiending 2014 video part and his bike was a similar color. Shout out Garrett!

Which parts on your bike are you most specific about?

Bars and frame dimensions are essential for me to be able to ride comfortably.

You’ve always had good things to say about the Wethepeople Hybrid Freecoaster Hub, how has this hub helped your riding? What is your favourite feature?

There’s a lot of great features with this hub, first thing I noticed and I love is the weight is super light. I love the design too. To me the most important is that it has short slack though.

What plans have you got for 2023?

My plans are Simple Session, Street Station in Lyon, a new video part and see where life takes me and go with the flow!

TRIGGER FRAME

“Here at Wethepeople, we have always respected the work ethic and productivity of our am team. Some of the most dynamic and heavy up-and-comers in the game, we wanted to work with the future of our brand on a totally new frame concept that mixes adaptive geometry and tougher materials to make a super durable frame designed to fit any rider out there. The trigger frame features geometry that changes as the top tube length increases allowing the rider to be on a frame that suits them down to a tee. We wanted to reward a selection of our am team with their very own signature colorways in the same frame size they ride so the trigger frame will be available in colourways for Stephan Atencio (20.5"), Riley Smith (20.75") and Dan Banks (21"). The smooth bottom bracket shell helps reduce drag or hang-ups on grinds, and the unique offset machined headtube allows for stronger junction and cleaner tube fitment where you need it the most.” - Wethepeople
