for downhill i would have to say steve Peat he always been my favorite and i just watch clips of him to try to ride like he does... cam mcaul is a big inspiration for me for the freeride dirt jump part..he has such a great personality and works very hard to become what he is..and hes not a stuck up a**hole like barecloth
probly steave peat i have been watching him for years and never seems to dissapoint he is 34 i think now and is still keeping up with the younger and new faster guys down the track or richie slay (dont know how to spel last name) he has allways been a good freerider and is also gettin on a bit
Honestly, Cam McCaul does not inspire me. He is really good at biking but he is dumb as f*ck and I can't take him seriously.
I am also going to say that Steve Peat doesn't really inspire me because he is pretty arrogant. He has won a whole lot of races on a world stage though so that is kind of to be expected.
I cannot think of his name right now, I think it is Jared something (rides for Yeti), but he really inspires me because of his respect for other riders and all around ability (4x, BMX, DH).
Sam Hill, cliche as it may be, really inspires me because he has some humility, the polar opposite of Peaty. In all of the interviews I have seen of him he is always really modest about his riding ability.
