I guess you'll have to meet one of us someday to understand. Most frenchies (including me) have a very recognizable accent when we speak english. Some of us dont speak english at all, some understand it but dont really like speaking it, some speak and write fluently and most others are perfectly bilingual. Everyone is on a different level when it comes to a second language. It goes down from perfect english down To this ===> www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD6EGW8EIAkIf ....Very typical "eeuuhh'' when searching for words hahaha and down to knowing: One, Two, Three (pronounced tree lol) , Toaster, Beer, Parking and Skidoo... If our first language is the kind of french we speak growing up in Quebec (Called "Joual") it usually shows a lot when we speak another language.

I have not yet ridden the Spartan, but I know two brothers that race enduro and DH. They had an Ibis Mojo HDR and a Rocky Mountain Altitude and got rid of those bikes for Spartans. They say the Spartan climbs better than both of those bikes, and descends just as well as their DH bikes.

Shipping would not be possible, taxes are insane over here. But if you intend to come to Brazil I would really like to buy your bike! Brazil is a great place!

I think your thinking of Ian Morrison the much older and shorter bmx legend. Think he has a big part in Federal bmx.
