Everyone...remember to buy photos off Seb's site Roots and Rain to keep him afloat. this year has been hard!!!
I have been told Matt Walker has been faster than Danny Hart for a few seasons in practice, but that reminds me of my training partner back in the day. He was faster than me in practice but never beat me in a race. Basically because I only ever went 100% in race runs. Not worth the risk in training.
That was also the year that the Commencal team was at Windrock too and I was like "Where in the F*** is Pierron going with all that Haul!?!!?"
So this season Im saying Walker is number one, with Wilson or Hart being number 2.
His career is over!! Cant keep up with the new young guns!
*NOTICE: this is sarcasm
And yes, sarcasm is king!!!
Mentally, he's just different.
Pretty sure there was a point where he uncorked a couple though. hah
Call him a dinosaur....
The fresh prince of big air is flying!
Go Greg. 80th podium on the top step
