richstmanaliv100 (Mar 11, 2009 at 13:18)

downhilldro (May 19, 2008 at 9:56)

i just read an article on him and he built that leg himself because they told him he couldnt dowhill anymore, like 3 months after losing his leg he was out skiing and shit, the dudes nuts, and he used a bike shock all tuned up, how cool is that!

o8demo8 (Jun 5, 2008 at 20:28)

man if i ever loose a leg i totaly gotta get in contact with him cuz ill NEVER stop DH/FRing

massive respect from me dude. Im in the military and im sure many of the kids comming back with missing parts would love that. Gotta stay active and doing the things you love.

recklessness (Sep 25, 2008 at 7:03)

That is the most tricked out custom piece of work I have ever seen. I respect that so much. WOW. If he is Canadian "leg servicing" from Fox will take forever. This is the toughest dude on pinkbike.

pook14 (Jul 29, 2009 at 18:43)

yo 08demo08 we also have respect for you for being in the military, its tough dude thanks, and to this guy, it is inspiring to get out and ride.

Billy is funy. One time walking up the trail, my girlfriend mentioned that she couldn't feel her fingers due to the cold. He replied with, "Well I can't feel my leg." He is a class act... and fast too.

PlasticEgg (May 7, 2008 at 12:59)

is that a mini fox rear spring in his leg

wileskws (Apr 24, 2008 at 11:43)

freeridethis (May 2, 2008 at 13:28)

morthiaspl (Jul 13, 2008 at 11:18)

Can somebody give me link to VOD with that guy?

Also, I never knew that somebody can ride his bike hard without one leg. But this leg is probably better than "real" one

. That man is an inspiration.

dirtorian (Nov 11, 2008 at 9:45)

vaughn000 (Dec 29, 2011 at 23:24)
