Thought the " Big S " would have jumped at the chance of having another Berrecloth on its books. Never mind Specialized loss, Knollys gain I guess!! I did enjoy Ryans segments in Roam and CKD so heres to seening more in the future, regardless who he is riding for.

Good luck Tracy, you will be a big miss on the World Cup race scene. Hope you get sorted out and are back bigger and stronger next year!

Just ordered, and if half as as good as The Collective or Roam I will be stoked for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

Respect goes out to Steve. Specialized were CRAZY!!!???!!! to let him go, or maybe he needed the challenge. Either way awesome rider, n good luck for the season ahead with Mongoose.

Bike thieves are the lowest of the low!!!! They don't even know what they are stealing most of the time ( Most aint bikers, if they were they would'nt lower themselves ) Hope it works out n the scum are caught!! My choice of punishment would be seat post up their a#ses then pour nitromorse in that would stop the little shits!!!

I bought Box of Disorder when I ordered NWD 8. Its good to see the future but looking back sure is good too! People dis Bender for not being a good rider, n maybe he aint got the style of present day riders. But man he still has some Big Kahuna's! So lets not forget Bender, Schley, Simmons and all the other riders who showed people what was possible on bikes!!!! Hope all @Pinkbike have a good Seasons riding in 2008.

Great artical Rob, and I guess with 25 pro's plus local invites not everyone would get a mention. Respect due to ALL! the riders on the Qashqai tour, thanks for the great show at The Centre of Life in Newcsatle. Hopefully this wont be the last time a major event is put on like this. So thanks Rob, Rasalution and Nissan and especially Pink Bike for keeping us up to date with whats been going down!!!!!

Adrenaline_Junkie69, try out the website www.dirtmag.co.uk as they offer overseas subs to the mag. Definatley the BEST Downhill/Freeride mag this side of the pond if not the World! Just gone to monthly release n well worth it. Hope this helps!

Props to Zeek/Spoiled_Goods. For having the balls to admit he made a mistake! 90 percent of us have been there to one extent or another, and most live to tell the tale and advise others to wear their lid. Be it cross country or DH/Freeride we all owe it to ourselves and our friends and familys to ride safe, enjoy our sport/fun times. But most of all come back safe to ride another day. Get well Zeek, and to anyone else out there recovering from doing what they and we all love!
