My favourite is surely Troy Brosnan. Still only 16, 3rd in Slalom and qualified 14th in the DH...watch this one. 
Gotta ride the lightning...
Ya, good to see him doing ok so far this season. If I recall he finished 4th or 5th at the Pro GRT #2.
He looks 12.My favourite is surely Troy Brosnan. Still only 16, 3rd in Slalom and qualified 14th in the DH...watch this one.
I think you may have jinxed him. He was killing it but crashed hard In his 2nd run and got carted off in an ambulance. Bummer because He's SO fast. Healing vibes man.
Richie Rude....15 years old 19th in 2010 US Open PRO Qualifying with a mechanical.

Heal up dude. Your car (after it ran out of gas 2 minutes after we got in it), bike and all your stuff is at my house. I think we can save your front wheelDidn't get airlifted. I ended up going down probably 20 minutes after that kid. Last I knew, I was in the pits waiting in a truck to get taken to the hospital when the paramedics rushed us to move since they had gotten that kid down and deemed him as critical. Hope whoever he is, he made it out ok!
Ended up leaving the Umass Worcester ER around 4am this morning. The ortho surgeon opted not for surgery (although it's still a possibility). They ended up giving me some super trippy drugs for the reduction that I did not respond well to. Apparently i was speaking in tongues, needed restraint and was doing things that these doctors only ever read about in text books. It was a pretty long night, and I'm hopeful that I'll get through this without requiring surgery.
I'd just like to thank any of the riders or crew that helped me while I was down yesterday. Thank you
just a small wobble in that wheel...no biggieHeal up dude. Your car (after it ran out of gas 2 minutes after we got in it), bike and all your stuff is at my house. I think we can save your front wheel

do they get two runs?
Agree about Jill, was wondering how long it would take and if she had the DH skills, guess now we know.
Richie is too young, I think he has to wait 2 more years for the WC scene. Kid is scary fast and is also a great kid.
well shes got enough UCI points now to enter. maybe we'll see her at Windham.
Not to sidebar off of how ****ty this is but at a shop here in Phoenix, there's an argument that 29ers are the future. This pictures proves otherwise.Heal up dude. Your car (after it ran out of gas 2 minutes after we got in it), bike and all your stuff is at my house. I think we can save your front wheel
Is he younger than Brosnan? Somebody posted Richie at 15 years old?
Regardless, well done kid! East coast pumping out the young killers right now...
