 Conor is clearly a shredder, but also a killer guy all around. Definitely have seen him helping out other younger riders and just always happy to be out riding. Such a sick edit!

 He is extremely talented and has such good style! But! if he wants to make a name for himself in freeriding, he's going to have to go faster and bigger.

 Well he has already made it to the front page of Pinkbike, which is a hell of a lot better than most of us and a good start.

 The way he throws 360's is just beautiful!! His riding or maybe that vid made feel like I was the one on the bike!!! Conor killer style honestly got me stoked!! I cant wait to have a bike again!!

 Style for sure. It sounds like he sculpted the half pipe line himself, not certain. But if he did, that has to add points to his already steezy riding. Sick lines, riding, and video. Great edit. That trail was inspiring.

 This to say was a OK, RAD video...Diggin the 360 endo off the drop... Killer lines all through out and looks like he did a lot of the work. Good to see when you can put a shovel into dirt and create masterpiece that all can enjoy , including yourself.. Once again , RAD video and great rider..That is all..

 A True shredder will not only show you how good they are are but will also show you the spills and falls that have made them the riders that they are, nice to see that even the people we look up to know how to eat dirt and let the world see it first hand.

 Good to see an edit that focus' on an up&coming riders versatility... too often i see riders that are trying to make it only showcase one discipline of riding...

 As soon as I saw the jump line I said "that looks like the exact set that Andreau Laconguy (sp i know) was hitting in the video a few weeks back.
