 those brakes sounded pretty squeaky, even though they weren't wet. not so good if its supposed to make us want saint... the on/off rock was cool but not to write home about, 2 foot drop off it. still really cool riding, good to see some raw lines once in awhile.

 Sick line, love Thomas riding style..so smooth..but i hate the part when they say he's doing this line because he feels confortable with the new saint group. I mean..it's only a derailleur and brakes. Unless those brakes are total crap, he could have done this line in any case.

 I dont really see why he is getting neg props. Shimano, like a lot of other companies, has not yet adapted to new riding styles. the revamped saint edition is that answer to SRAM.
