Thanks for sharing.

He couldn't loose: a tough to beat RidgeRunner chassis and a revolutionary suspension fork that evens out all bumbs and wildest drops

Those were the days.

Impossible I'm afraid. According to the magazines of today, that sort of thing is only possible with a foot of travel at either end and disc brakes the size of dustbin lids. The sort of bike Greg is clearly riding there is suitable only for going to the shops and back on the pavement. Even that might be touch and go.

Thats what I was about to say! I almost spat coke over the office computer when he came haring round on drops! I knew mtb's used to have drops on them, but never imagined for downhill!

Absolute legend. I wouldnt have the brass to do it!

Tomac was known for his drops and disk dive , the pair of them represent the golden era for me
