Tinman Elite keeps the name

Tinman "Elite" disgusts me.

OMG… who cares? Ridiculous.

adidas super shoes better be able to take off a lot more time than the Nikes do.

Exactly.

This will last about as long as the hot coals of a campfire

This elite group will have exactly one person running at the trials and half the team is injured if they haven't already quit the team. Even the guys who ditched their home country for the easy path couldn't make it happen.

Once Adidas non-renews Drew Hunters contract this group will have to dissolve. No way their merchandise sales make up enough to lose that cash flow, not after this debacle. Unless they have more Tibetan kitchenware to brand.

Give it a couple more years, they can’t thrive with chodes like Guzman, Thies, and Parsons running things

Sydney Gidabuday - Gone

Brogan Austin - Gone

Drew Hunter - Going ?

Reed Fischer -

Sam Parsons – Injured

Jordan Gusman –

Cameron Griffith –

Connor Winter -

Joey Berriatua -

Brian Barraza -

Jamaine Coleman -

Aaron Templeton -

Jeff Theis -

Surprised more haven't left already.

doesn't hunter still have 5-6 years left on his contract? if the club lasts that long, that's not a bad run!

Yeah 10 year deal. Only first 5 without any reductions, though.

I still can’t believe Adidas gave Drew that massive contract and basically said go do what you want with it.

How do you know syd and brogan left? Did they announce that

I’m a post collegiate and honestly a year ago I enjoyed the tinnman vibe and their videos. not gonna lie I was probably hyped on them like a lot of highschoolers or collegiates were. It was interesting content. but now that I’ve seen more posts and especially what went down with the whole team name and Tom firing, I’ve lost interest and find the whole team a bit gimmicky and cringe.

parsons seems a bit too preachy for me. Comes off like a rich spoiled kid - dude drives a Tesla in Boulder ffs lol. And the whole repping Germany hangup gets old if you can’t even secure a spot on their team in the end. The Australian dude Guzman is a wannabe machine gun Kelly and is quite cringe. I think on thr whole I respect the guys on the team grinding to be elite but it does get cringe when it’s clear they’re talent level just isn’t there and every race these guys run subpar times they just try to save face with an inspirational IG post

I hope drew gets back in the swing of things and can find some training that works for him to return to an elite stage

It would be HILARIOUS if they go out and win Clubs again this year and shut all these haters up.

Yes, clubs is the epitomy of a "sub-elite".

Brogan and Syd still list “Tinman Elite” in their Instagram bios. Unless I’m missing something

This is a joke. How can you still call yourselves "Tinman" when you no longer have the Tinman himself.

Pretty sure once they win club XC mats and post about it for five days straight on ig they would have proven our point that they are subelite tools

If a real team like Bowerman entered the race and tme still won that would be a different situation. Instead they win against teams like NW running club from Seattle which has runners true blue collar tunners

Exactly! If they just cut half of these guys the group as a whole would be more respectful able

Club cross is a fun event, but absolute joke.

However going back to TME, you have to feel for Hunter. He was caught in the middle of this with his dingus friend Parsons clearly pushing the brand, idiotic "coach" Cory Leslie who likes to pretend he can coach, and then his mom telling him what to do. Hunter needs to get out of there, heal up and go find some better training partners. Go train with Sam Prakel or something or go with Team Boss. He needs actual coaching. He's moved on from Tom, he did a good job with him in high school but now it's time for the next step which he is having trouble crossing. If he doesn't get out of this Tinman Elite nonsense now he might as well hang it up because its ruining any potential he still has
