Says he's not with Vital anymore, going to start doing his own thing from here on out. No further details that I know about.

He’ll do fine. His contrarian viewpoints aren’t my cup of tea but I like his bike tests.

Glad it’s not another media company name based off his own nick/name.

Don't know anything about his situation, but dude has run through a few publishers with need to "express himself." Especially since riders and those publishers alike seem to value his opinions about bikes.

I'm pretty sure Ping will do just fine. Him and JS7 strike me as 2 guys that can relate to the past and what is happening now.

Shit!! This actually bums me out. I like Pings stuff , and had hoped he found a good home here. I actually really thought he would blend in with new management. I know there is a lot of things that happen behind the curtain , but dang it , I thought he fit in well here.

He’ll be fine, vital reposts other media’s work on their page and socials anyways so you won’t even notice Ping gone Grinning

I think they should hire Mike alessi or David villiman as an editor.

Vital hated free speech for years. Michael Lindsey s I am to be changing that. Bummed that Ping is gone.

I'll support Ping wherever he goes because he's a cool dude who stands by his beliefs. He's had these same opinions for years, long before it was so divisive to have a different opinion. Has nothing to do with liberal or conservative.
I've had quite a few interactions with him, and he's ALWAYS taken the time to answer my questions and have a conversation.

No way!! A liberal run site just clicked a few replies?? Might as well call this place Twitter and the mods give all the conservatives multiple downvotes for good measure 😂. What a joke.

Customers of vital started a thread dicussing pings opinion, ping calls them names , and then he quits/is pushed out

Man I’d love to hear the other side from the top brass round here. But doubt we will

Yes. You did. I had a comment that was liked by ping himself and it is now gone. Whatever you say though boss. I’ll play nice so I don’t get cancelled

I didn’t delete a single message in this thread. I jumped in and responded to J Sloan and that was my first visit to this thread. If anything was deleted, I have no knowledge of what posts or who clipped them then. There’s only a couple of us that have that ability so I’ll have to check.

If anyone wants to repost said thoughts, please go right ahead.

I have no idea if this happened, but I do know that if you quote someone else's post and then that person deletes their post, your post disappears as well.

Yes, if quotes are made of a post that is deleted, it wipes out all responding / quoting posts. It can create quite the train-reaction.

I honestly can’t remember if I quoted someone or not. Oh well. On to the next battle royal.

I talked to Ping at Pala and he told me this was coming but I thought is wasn't for another week or so. He didn't bad mouth anybody. Just wants to be his own boss kinda deal.

Looks like Ping is no longer with the fire department? Beards are a no-go so just an assumption based on that.

Bums me out since he seemed a little disappointed. Whiskey Throttle is the best podcast imo. I love how genuine and down to earth he is with his guests. It really allows their true self to shine. I need to buy some of his swag to support him.
