I miss CG. Watched him pull a huge suicide no hander over a triple on Fort Bill 4X track in 2004. Sickest move I'd seen by far at the time.

@tremeer023: haha or when he'd toss a backflip in. Watching him session 4X was the best!

I’m worried for Matti Lehikoinen. What the hell is about to happen to him in that shot?

Unfortunately that seemed to happen a lot in his last racing years. Dude was a weapon, but I remember a series of serious, unfortunate, injuries that ended up with him stepping away from the scene, simply because he just couldn't take it anymore. There was a pretty interesting interview somewhere around the webs

@sadfusde: The WC interviews with Matti were always the greatest. So chill you could swear he was smoking something, however his bike riding skills always said otherwise! It's too bad we don't see many (if any?) WC racers from Scandinavia anymore.

Chain Reaction Jersey, check. Crashing, check. Yep gotta be Lehikoinen.

It's weird seeing all these racers from 10 years ago because in my mind that was also just 3 years ago. Man I'm getting old.

Can't help thinking how much the concussion protocol has changed in ten years. I read under Stevie photo that he had a concussion but yet two days later full gazz on the tracks.

Nowadays I believe we protect riders much more, which is a good thing. (At Crankworx they take it very seriously).

@jamessmurthwaite: I just kept saying “Sam Hill or Peaty” over and over. The closest I got was Minnaar I thought it was Peaty. Both tall lanky Syndicate guys and it is a rear view picture so I’m calling it a win.

I have answered "me" to every photo but it was wrong. I think that there's a problem with that quizz...

I knew that was matt just because it looks like he's about to crash! Only a couple wrong though, pretty happy with that

Feels weird too see racers wear anything else than XS slim pants

It would have been fun to include some photos from the skinsuit world champs days. Then we could anatomically identify some of the riders.
