Okay so it’s not that far back, in fact it’s the day before the Singlespeed Worlds in Rotorua. Graeme Simpson had organised a go-cart race between Carl Patton (from NZMTBR), myself and Chris Southwood (from Australian Mountain Biker), and The Stig aka Mike Metz crashed the party. I thought I was gonna suck hard so I brought Trek rider Ross Schnell in as a backup Spoke driver but the powers that be insisted it was to be a four horse race. The Stig won, followed by Chris (I reckon he’s half my weight, well maybe two thirds), then me, and Carl, well he was last (a bit of super D roll reversal).

Sram/RockShox – May 27th, 2022
Our new suspension started from a blank sheet of paper. We set everything aside and started with one question: how can we continue to elevate every ride? The result is a revolutionary system designed
to deliver unprecedented control, muscle, and performance. New chassis designed with industry-first damper technology, reinvented air springs, a host of new technologies to mute trail chatter and win the fight against friction. Suspension that has the confidence to meet the demands of riders today and empower them to take the sport somewhere new tomorrow.
