Nico Voullioz and Greg Minnaar are my fave's outstanding racers when it comes to knowing thier sh!t and Greg is so under-rated when it comes to FR. Alot of people don't actually know he was in Red Bull Rampage etc. I also rate Gee Atherton highly, he has so much style & skills.


minnaar has wicked style.

and aspiring pros, cam should be your idol, he knows how to market himself. that's all i'll say about cam mccaul.

Oh, one of my best friends lives there. He taught me all the dirty phrases. Anyhoo, Gongrats to Greg winning the over-all title. He is one of the most skilled and hard working riders out there.

last season, after sam hill whipped his dick out and dragged it around the downhill circuit, my friend and i were talking about who would take this year. he guessed sam again, maybe gee atherton, and i guessed minnaar, despite him being injured at that point in time.

i feel vindicated. go minnaar, my favourite racer for sure.

Yeah, last season Sam tore it up, his grip was equal to a Mexican Hooker to a $100 bill.

There have been a lot of influential riders and i didn't really start following anything until NWD 4 and for a while it was all about Bender, and then Berrecloth and Wade and Schley, but the most influential rider to me would be Sam Hill. I never really took racing seriously until I started watching his riding in the earthed movies and between the tape. He has single handedly changed me from a Free rider to a Downhiller
