Ok here's mine (will probably forget a few):
Ryan Leech - Seems a good bloke and rides with masses of fluidity.
Kirt Voreis - Really unusual good riding style.
Thomas Vanderham - big mtn big tricks.
Wade Simmonds - Aiding the shore movement.
Darren Berrecloth - Clicked style.
Peaty - True Brit and top rider (and for beating Vouliozs' win record!!).
Think that's it.

- Mainly Peaty - I know it's almost a cliche, but he does deserve cred.
- Robbie Bourdon for his achievement in NWD9
- Aaron Chase seems like a dude and sure can ride street and dirt
- A few that have already been mentioned such as Simmons, Vanderham etc
sure there's more but can't think of 'em right now...

Sam Hill bike handerling skills are unreal:
if you rode down the champary world cup track you would under stand, he is just soo much better than the rest, hes won red bull events, as well as re-writeing the record books when he stays on he wins by unreal margins and is still a baby. |

Agree Hill has awesome speed. Look at the World Champs last year. Yes Gee looked quick but Sam was in a whole different league. He rides right on the edge and seems to find speed from evertywhere. He's the guy everyone has to beat, no matter who is sitting at the top of the table.
