All the best from the past seven days of social media
Although social media may currently be aflame with rumours about Aaron Gwin there’s so much more going on too. Here’s our run down of the very best Tweets and Instagrams from the past seven days.
1. Ok so it was just Aaron Gwin pranking us all and you can watch the video on his Instagram here. We’re still clueless as to where he’s headed next year but we hope it breaks soon, the suspense is killing us!

“Well here you have it people, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. Super secret footage of me riding my new downhill bike. I thought I could keep it quiet but as you can hear the paparazzi were all over me!”
2. In a move that’s definitely confirmed, Justin Leov is heading to Canyon to replace Fabien Barel. Leov was flying in the first half of last year, will he be able to replicate that on the Strive?
3. Lady Canning’s is closed and here’s why!
