Not saying you're wrong mate, I was just trying to put a bit of perspective when it comes to other sports..I wasn't sure if you were comparing our Football League to theirs or Sport in general. Your comment aboit' they are a lot harder working and less entitled than their UK based counterparts.' made it unclear. Tbh all the Rugby guys from both sides of the world I've met are generally cool down to earth guys, who don't live the high life. It was just that one of the noticeable differences when I moved down there, from going watching Leeds, Bradford Wakefield etc's players motors leave the ground , to then watching the Bunnies. Roosters & Manly players motors leave, that they're on a much bigger wack out there. Like I said It was more a comment about if you leave the Football guys out of the equation, that a few of the same sports are higher paid in Aus & most of our lads are the same hard working normal guys, living a normal life. Coogee's a lovely place mate, I was up in Manly and Newcastle for a bit. Cheers.

Great little interview .A true legend on the track, a MTB ambassador & an awesome down to earth guy off it. Lets hope he can stay fit and stick some runs this year to see his career out in style.

Agree, somewhere like Leeds is crying out for something like this. There's the odd places around like Wharncliffe, Parkwood Springs,Temple Newsam, Hebden Bridge, Sherwood Pines and a few others. They're all fairly decent but most are pretty limited if you want to push yourself & in my case all are at least 20/30 miles away. We desperately need some investment from the Councils, or something like what they've done here in Cheltenham on Private Land. A FlyUp 417 Project in the Leeds area would go down a storm,. Instead I have to drive at least 60+ miles to places like Dalby, Gisburn, Lee Quarry, Whinlatter or even further away to Wales or Scotland, Would love something a bit more 'on the doorstep' .

@michaelfet Agree to a certain extent but my brothers recently got a set of X Fusion Sweep Roughcut and even though I won't admit it to him, they're an excellent fork and ride every bit as good as my Pikes. Before I got the Pikes, I got rid of some Fox 34 CTD for a set of X fusion Slants, which was a better fork at the time imo. I'd be really tempted to retire the Pikes for these black Revels, they look the absolute business. Hopefully they'll turn out as good as they look and I already know the HLR damper in them works awesome.

Beautiful looking bike. I know they're nice bikes to ride but was never a fan of their swing arms, this looks the dogs danglies though.

Agree, not usually my thing but this looks the business.
