Ross McClure mental rider
You couldn't make up stuff like that....
that's gas, it's brillliant, a new found respect for Ross, and not only for his White Zombie t-shirt......
Cool, it's a pity I seem to have left most of that dealiness back in Spain!
Tbh, Steve's right in what he says there. You get a strange mix of people on trips like that. Most of them seem to be just used to riding man-made trails. Trails like Ballinaboring do not make you a better rider - unlike Djouce.
I also blame magazines like MBR - creating a new breed of uber nerds. A few of them could do with the Byrner style of abuse!
The lad from Scotland was a savage Dh'er though.
First time I've been called mental rider, I reckon my roadie background contradicts that statement!

There were some dealy riders there all right today, we shoudl go there more often and see what we can learn from them legends,
think the best was the guy with no helmet but shoulder pads... plenty of bright sparks out there.
