was pretty mental, we were at the top when steve dropped in and we left soon after.. heard the crowd go nuts from the gondola when greg hit the finish line which we knew by the noise he had one, good on him but id kinda wished steve would have wonFrown

I think Minaar quite enjoys Fort William Razz.
I thought Hill had it in the bag as soon as I saw his quality outfit...

yeah now they are using the new intense model 951 , probably the sucessor of the legendary m6

flag darkcanuck (Jun 7, 2009 at 19:33)
951 is the successor of the Socom not the M6

flag CuscoRiders (Jun 8, 2009 at 5:07)
the 951 its a DH bike not a freeride bike I think? , its like 9 inches of travel and I never saw a downhill racer using a Socom not even in practice
