Today, Eddie and Wyn were on Pinkbike Facebook Live answering questions posted on Pinkbike, our Facebook, and Instagram channels. Check out what went down in this insane Q&A!
There was a lot of comments yesterday around the NZs Secondary Schools DH competition and the lack of a similar program in the States. Did you guys ride in Secondary School comps and how beneficial was it?
Yeah I raced secondary school nationals my whole time at school and it helped to get all the kids pushing each other definitely created some great riders.
@wynmasters: Can you ask Eddie for us: Is it true you and the lads have been blacklisted from renting a house in Queenstown? Ps cheers for the party, the dinner plates/BBQ DJ deck was legit.
Wyn, when you played the character 'Stephen' in the 1995 box office smash hit 'Braveheart', did you have trouble learning the Irish accent? Also was Mel Gibson cool or bit of an a*shole?
When you were growing up, before bikes, did you have a horse each or did you share? What was his/ her/ their names? Did they/he/she like sugar cubes? Also bareback or saddles?
Eddie, being the better looking brother and up until recently having more success than Wyn, how does it feel knowing you have a far superior social life? I hear that National Lampoon has reached out to you and the Vanzaks to make a film about you all... I hear it is to be produced by Brazzers.
Can you describe how your personalities are different? The same? How has that changed since you two were wee lads?
Wyn, you seemed so relaxed at ALL times. How do you interact with the many other top WC DH'ers who seem so serious and so competitive much of the time.
I probably take things a little more seriously sometimes but i got 2 years on Eddie so it makes sense. I guess hasnt changed much.
Yeah I enjoy trying to get a little more than the average sponsor plug race interview from these guys a lot them put their serious face on at the races but really they are good characters themselves
@wynmasters: Thanks for taking the time to write me back. Blessings to you and your brother as you embark upon the season. I'll be rooting for you from the States.
Wyn, you're riding style is 'over the front'; is there anything you have to be careful of or work on to improve because of this style? Thanks. Also, prefer clips or flats if not racing? Cheers
Eddie - what have you learned after last years World Cup at Fort William? You're qualifying was awesome, hoping you can turn it into an appearance on the podium this year dude!
Eddie. At the Megavalanche 2015, you headed past my mates and myself on a mission to get to your start. How'd you do and what did you think of the race? Wyn. Have you ever come a cropper while doing a wheelie?
I heard one of your house mates at rotorua has a sick apds tattoo... and something to do with a vibe race team... says he taught Eddie everything he knows... just saying...
Hi Eddie, do you hope that one day you can too be as beautiful as Wyn?? Serious question: How much time do you guys spend on core stability & strength training?
How would you rate your tire selection for this race? If you were just riding for fun and not racing, would you change tires? If so, which tires would you pick?

Also, will you get a frozen penguin to keep in the freezer for your own children?
Also was Mel Gibson cool or bit of an a*shole?
Wyn, you seemed so relaxed at ALL times. How do you interact with the many other top WC DH'ers who seem so serious and so competitive much of the time.
Also are you guys going to be attending the Queenstown bike fest?
Wyn. Have you ever come a cropper while doing a wheelie?
Is wyn been approached by Pantene hair products for a sponsor ?
Who has the best bike mechanic ?
Mainly because Australia is lame and NZ is the bomb, I need to be there.
Who is taller?
Brake levels flat or down ?
Are you looking forward to world champs in Cairns ?
Favorite rider to see come out with a video?
Also, pineapple on pizza?
congrats on the great racing guys
