"Having Worlds in Pietermaritzburg for Greg, is like me having Worlds in Wharncliffe"

To sum up the the pressure and expectation surrounding the Santa Cruz Syndicate, especially Greg, is nearly impossible.

No-one would dare say it, but come Sunday, the fairytale ending we'd all been waiting for had come true.

After one huge night, everyone crawled back to the epi-centre of PMB, the 'Thistle'.... This time joined by your current World Cup Champ, Stevie Smith and team mate Nick Beer. A plan was formed and scooters were paid for....

Not fully satisfied from Monday's adrenaline, Steve and Ratboy trucked down to the world's biggest Gorge Swing, before flying home... marking another epic Worlds.

 Thank god peaty is riding next year. We really should get a national holiday when he eventually retires in his honour. Old skool!

 No doubt. He was gaining momentum as the season wore on...great to see since his last couple of seasons haven't gone to plan.

 I love how everybody talks about Peaty quitting except the big man himself.
Stop that bullsh*t, Peaty is not too old for this sh*t. Say it with me! We are gonna will it not to happen.

 I'm not insinuating he's 'retiring' one bit. Hell, if anything, I take it for granted he'll be back. I don't think he'll retire out of the blue like Barel, Gracia, etc. If anything, I see him announcing it prior to his final season (like that's ever going to happen) so he can have a victory lap like no other.

Steve Peat is not the Chuck Norris of DH. It's more like Chuck Norris is the Steve Peat of kicking ass.

 Has anyone else noticed themselves yelling "all the lads" at weird, random times when no-ones around and then completely cracking up? I personally blame the Ratboy Special Peaty episode from a few weeks back.

 I've met him a couple of times and, in person, was very decipherable. I think the microphones don't work well with his particular pitch or something. It's good for a laugh at the very least. Wink

 Oribi Gorge Swing!!! I did that - they push everyone off - because it's scary as hell to walk to the edge! That bridge is scary - no hands and naked - Way to go guys! Another great Peaty web cast!

 Peaty is why I got into dh in 1992 and I've never looked back !! The guy is a legend and I enjoy racing more now than I did back then ... Wining is fun but having a awesome weekend with your buddy's is PRICELESS

 Its funny how apparently the rest of the world has little problem with having their balls out. Id rather jump off the bridge with out a bungee than cross that rope bridge naked.

 Now you guys all leave pingu alone. We all enjoy his mashup of words and random noises that resemble words, but let's remember why he's here. It's to ride bikes. And he's bloody good at it. I applaud you ratty, you and your one off lingo. Go rat boy.
