" Dave Watson, along with Andrew Shandro, was one of the first riders with a DH race pedigree to make the switch to freeride. Its getting tougher to make a living racing DH and freeriders are now starting to make good bank, but with the exception of Gracia there dont seem to be many riders who have what it takes to make that jump. "
interesting.... Watson is a sick rider reguardless though
