This latest edit from Hunt shows Shawn Neer’s departure from high-level enduro racing. This is a transition into what comes next. Shawn is excited to see what a life filled with dog duty, film production and plenty of aggressive riding has in store.

"I wouldn’t have been able to see the world without racing, something I am forever fortunate for. Though as a kid who grew up at the skatepark and dirt jumps as much as the racetrack, I felt like there was an itch I still needed to scratch, which is on the creative side in mountain biking." - Shawn Neer

Shawn is thankful to friends, family and sponsors for helping him during his race career and supporting him with the next steps. He's going to be working with UK wheel brand Hunt Wheels to develop new products. 

"I turned down the race contract and started thinking of ways to still bring value to the brands I work with - which sparked the idea of starting a production company called Moniker. I wanted to promote the brands I work with and explore places outside the tape I would have never seen otherwise. I’m pretty happy to be past the point of defining success with a number and still able to do what I love, progress my riding in new ways, and immerse myself back into my local riding community. Here's to my new normal.” —Shawn Neer
