Norwegian" Intense M1 Shaun Palmer Tribute bike "NOT the USA Flag bike" :)

Really enjoying your passion for this project
Palmers arrival on the scene was definitely an influential one, and the speed at which his clothing/appearance style spread through the downhill riders was crazy. Not something that I could pull off, but many went for it!

Also loving that r/c collection you've got there

Great progress, great attention to detail. Dare I ask...will you ride it at some point?

Thank you so much for kind words mate
Yes i agree totally. he was for sure a pioneer in many ways.I really love his total style and skills,and approach to the whole thing.
Oh so the Tamiyas was spotted ..hehe . Thank you again,yes im a total rc nerd aswell, especially 80s and 90s Tamiyas. I have a little collection, trying to focus the collection to which cars i had as a kid ,but also some of the cars that was on the Must have list from back in the day, ,mainly cars that was far out of reach pricewise
Here are some of them

Also got this beauty recently. A Yokomo yz 10 870c in Masami livery. Love that car

hey mate.Thank you soo much for kind words. Much apreaciated yeah it is getting there...to be fair i am almost trying to drag it out as much as possible,,just to keep the build process as long and tedious as possible....so maybe that is why i ended up wanting to make the build as CLOSE to the original as possible...so i could extend the build period..because of the hunt for the rare parts."laughs" One of those parts is the Intense brake booster..thats would be a difficult one.I know they are out there..but super rare. Loving my Magura cnc booster though..looks amazing i think ,and a perfect alternative to the Intense one
And yes..i do plan to use it...but to be fair..it wont be more than just " cruising along nicely" kinda thing.Maybe a run on a selected dh course with not much risk of screwing up the bike..or me for that matter.haha. So the plan is at least to set the bike up so it actually can be used for some light dh"ing. but it is to be seen as a " show bike" to be fair
