 Yeah but Warner won his sporting a std and likely a hangover. How many other wc winners can make that statement? (except maybe CG - hangovers? probably, std? that's a story we'll have to wait for)

 That cracked me up. The Trail 90 on my grandpa's farm gets credit for starting me on a life of loving all things two wheeled.

 He does things on a bike that I can't even do just jumping on my legs.

 I want more stuff where Chris is the star, not just the bike. I reckon he's got the ability to "do a Statham" and get into the mainstream movie business in a few years. Go on son!

 That would be legendary. Isn't he the one that did the stunts for the movie "Premium Rush"?

 Pretty sure that was danny McCaskill.

 Great to see some more behind the scenes stuff about Chris's films, it's not just his skills on a bike that make his edits stand out.

 Hands down, the most entertaining guy on a bike. And the fact that he does all the directing, editing, riding, etc just makes it all the more impressive. Josh Bryceland's interview reminds me of the interviews in Spinal Tap. Cracks me up.

 What a bloody legend. If i can get so many well known names to admire my creativeness and ability... i think i would have done alright haha

 I read the article bout him and Gary Fisher playing good guy bad guy few years back in MBUK. I guess that'll be a good movie scenario.
He's making an every stunts look easy, great all around bike handler. He could try the enduro scene in UK though, and show to everybody "THE FUN" side of mountainbiking.

 Definitely my favourite rider to watch - his understanding of what people want to see is second-to-none. Needs some paint on his kitchen wall though.
