So many good photos on here, but they take one almost identical, but less dramatic to one not long ago :/

is it just me or does his fork travel look abnormally long?

tomoostv (Oct 31, 2012 at 16:31)

Probably has the boxxer stanchions running longer

Just goes to show what hard work and determination can do for you. As well as being backed by a great mother who shuttled him so so much. Can't wait to see how you do next year steve

Why POD, could someone please explain this to me??? Good pic, but no POD for me! Like this one there are hundreds more just change the rider, and like this one ther'es one in every race, or am I wrong? Nothing particular about this one just that this is the winning race for Steve right? Is the story behind the image worth POD more than the image itself?

Can`t wait till next year to see him and a couple more in Maribor again.

Kerba (Oct 31, 2012 at 6:33)

i second that Big Grin

tomoostv (Oct 31, 2012 at 16:32)

Slovenia is on the schedule? Gotta love that rock garden!

flowyridestilltherestofmylife (Oct 31, 2012 at 22:46)

Yep.. I think it`ll be in May. Rock`n`roll is sick. It has been sick all the way but this year all the soil got eroded so I guess it`ll be more brutal.

tomoostv (Nov 1, 2012 at 17:52)

can't wait to see Sam Hill on that next year!
