How about Sam Blenkinsop eh? He's really on it this season, so pumped for the guy, I think it's his 2nd full year on the circuit. He's sure to do awesome in the future. Anyone with any insight?

Looks like a great rider. I'm sure you've seen the Yeti Podcats, but if you haven't check them out. Lots of coverage of him and all the Yeti guys.

The section of him on F1RST is great viewing. How smooth drifting around that berm?

 

[DownhillR3]

Yeah his clips in Earthed 5 were pretty sick, he's definately fast & this year on Yeti I think he's proven himself.

Yup, thats the one. It's pretty crazy he's already a top-10 guy at only 19.

I usually do not say anything about grammar but my head hurts now and I still do not fully understand what you are saying.

Dam grammar nazis thought this was a DH forum not an English forum, ah well lucky ya not talking to me directly then ya would have a head as sore as mine!

Ive had too many knocks to the head, you'd think after 8months of recovery and daily forum gossiping I'd improved guess not

I suck at grammer myself, but when you cannot not even understand what is being said there is a problem.

Well where not all from the US either so not knowing where you're from and many others I just interpret!

I will re read my posts more often even I can get lost 3rd 4th time I re read them!
I'm getting some neurological tests in a few weeks so will see if i have indeed suffered some head issues, on top of what I had before

 

[CRoss]

sorry to hear about the head problems, those are no joke. I hope it all comes out okay.

 

[TA..]

Ahh all good, I was bad at grammar before too, funny I'm hopeless on the forums yet my presentations and proposals at sales level were pretty hawt!

Looking forward to getting some answers, anyways not to high jack but might help with my lack of clear communication!

 

[DBR X6 RIDER]

Yeah, his segment in Between the Tape w/ Leov (speaking of talented Kiwis) is pretty tight as well.

 

[pinkgoat]

Most stylish downhiller out there IMO.

He's been making a HUGE impression on the the DH circuit here for the last 5 or so years, there's been races since he was about 15 he'd be riding lines at nationals races that most other riders would be struggling with apart from John Kirkcaldie etc.

Fisrt time I saw him was 5 years ago on an old Giant that looked waaay too big for him, thought what the hell is this kid doing?? But later that day I watched him come through one section of track miles faster than everyone else there!

He's definitely got a sick style, all the kiwi kids have been riding Turners and trying to ride like him for the last couple of years

 

[tatankainlondon]

He is super friendly as well. I met the Yeti WC Team during the UK Yeti Tribemeet and it was such a joy to talk to him.

Jeez, that's crazy. I suppose he was shorter a few years ago, it looks like in videos and everything that he's over 6 foot now. He almost makes his 303 look small underneath him. His riding style is unreal too.
