suppose classifying a full suspension and downhill bike are 2 different things?tomacs kamakaze bike for me was epic but compared to jerkys pace!!! yorkshire all the way! but i did like jmc's rts and warners black un.

this is hard lol,id love to add my trek but to me its an xc full suspension.......and only just started it so wont shame myself...yet

Didn't JMC first do downhill racing on a rigid Kona and win?????

I think your remembering Steve Peat.

It was Peaty. They nicknamed him 'The Pinball Wizard' because of the way he'd get bumped around by the rocks.

JMC raced on a Salsa then a RTS before spesh nabbed him.
