i'm working on a little side project (yes, on top of everything else i'm doing), and wanted to get some ideas from you guys...

Here's a list of DH racers... what word or thought comes to your mind?

List anything & everything... about their personality, riding syle, etc. This will give me a better picture of what you think of &/or see about these riders

example:
- Nico Vouilloz - legend, skinny, alien, fast as hell, domination, unbelievable lines, professional, etc


1. Sam Hill

2. Cedric Gracia

3. Jared Graves

4. Bryn Atkinson

5. Andrew Neethling

6. Greg Minnaar

7. Mick Hannah

8. Rich Houseman

9. Eric Carter

10. Cody Warren

*11. Steve Peat

*12. John Kirkaldie

* i just added the last two cause most of you were adding them already or askin... I might put up a list later in the year of a lot more riders, just to do this for fun. I was actually using this for a project i'm workin on. I appreciate all the responses as well! imput is working great!
