 Got a chance to attend meet & greet session with Mick organized by local Polygon reps. He was friendly, articulate and always engaged with what people had to say. He could comment on almost every aspect of mountain biking but at the same time never gave the impression that he had heard/seen everything that he couldn't appreciate what the local riders had to say. I don't know what I was expecting but I was really impressed.

 I love the insight from Sick Mick @6:15 about the mental impact of riding in dusty conditions. Never thought about it. Quite a little gem of knowledge. Thanks.
