I know that man!

GT Zaskar - he found air where others were scared to dare!!! Never knew he went to Bromley bikes.

Also got a shot of him coming down pipeline in a speedway stylee, amongst other moments.
 
Dave Hemming is also something to do with Norco, on the UK side of things.

There was a pic of Doug Bradbury in MBR the other month at an event, so he's still on the scene. Not sure if he stll has any connection to Manitou.
 
caroline quit after the commonwealth games mtb race. was leading by minutes, then a slow fat, couldnt fix it (ah the joys of tubeless) & started crying..)
