yeah for pommy humor Joebohobo, I own a GT bmx, but not sure what shade of blue and white it's paintjob is. I've ridden bmx tracks that were rougher than the above.. That simply is not mountain biking in my opinion. And you can hardly call that mound of dirt a hill. No, I am not a British Cheerleader so neg prop if you wish, but there are reasons why our wheels are bigger and there are reasons that we pay for suspension forks that cost much more than an entire bmx!

Australian DH may be taking off, but i have one issue... In some areas, such as Queensland,esp Central Qld, have virtually no DH trails in cooe. And where are the DH parks in Sydney? I'm an expat kiwi who is used to a whole range of options within an hour or two and there are trails 3 minutes away from my house in NZ. Maybe this is just part of our two unique countries nature, NZ is very compact and everything is close and Oz is a vast and barren land with a bunch of stupid laws?

There has to be some reason for Gwin to rise from a consistent top 10 rider to this unbelievably dominant level. How can just one of these top pro male riders just start whack nigh on ten seconds of his times? Neg prop me if you wish; but I'm hoping like heck that the cause of his improvement isn't something sinister like EPO. I'm not accusing him at all, I'm just scaremongering really. Cos, personally, I reckon he's simply having a stellar run on a brilliant bike. After all, Tracey Mosely ain't fairing too badly either.

Doesn't 'www' stand for 'wolrld-wide web?' And since travel costs don't seem to be included in the prize, why exclude international talents? Can anybody say 'tall poppy syndrome?' Get with it pb guys

Yea boy! Go Kelly McGarry!!!

EPIC!!! Man is that be a trip for my bucket list! Oh, first comment too, right?

Reversing the bolt direction would be more of a major than first appears. Probably, it would mean they have to leave more metal around the points the bolts go through. Having the bolts thread into the main part of the stem would likely make it not so slick looking. Look at it closely, there is one hell of a lot of thought gone into this beauty.

Am I right in saying that Sabrina has her high rollers on the other way from what they are usually run?

Sorry, but was I watching bmx? I just don't get 4x when it's not ridden on a mtb track.

Very good article with some awesome shots btw.
