Allow me to introduce myself, I'm still in my 30's (just) I ride for fun and the challenge of learning new skills....I'm an all mountain rider, but I do a lot of riding...about 500kms a week on my 6 inch Banshee Rune, I am running a Elka Stage 5 coily onit with the customary Talas 36, saint brakes, xt am's...just stuff that works and lasts and performs to my standards. It's fair to say I'm obsessed with MTB and I just love getting out every day and hitting it. Don't really care for the politics of the sport and usually I ride alone...hence the name. But I am a member of a club MAD MTBC and we've just built a SICK track with an excavator..it's awesome, heaps of berms, rockgardens G-outs, couple of jumps, drops all the good things and not too steep climbing either..havin a blast, as always.
