Moorey has 25yrs of sobriety, should be rubbing shoulders with Schurter rather than spending time with us alco hacks

They're a damn good rear tyre. They roll well, and heaps of climbing grip.

Yeah, I've heard good things so was keen to try one

Yep. Ollie Davis is a weapon. National u19 DH champ. Hell of a nice kid too. On the left is Asher Darlison..u17 national DH champ. Both killers riders.
Even Felix’s 3rd place time in u17 would have won u19 today. Incredible level of competition in that group.
Beauty was soooooo good. Tracks are insanely fun. Tough, but fun tough. Best weekend ever. Forced my mate @wozza to race. He robbed me of a 3rd in super masters

It was brewing through u13/15 for the last few years. I blame Sam Hill, personally.

I dont know who to blame, Sam Hill, Jarrod Graves... such versatile riders, my mind is still blown that JG recovered from brain cancer and pulls 2nd place over Cam Ivory in Nationals... the man is a fucking animal.

Can confirm. Lovely family and Ollie is one hell of a rider. This next generation has cracked some part of the puzzle we never could.

So fast, and so polite, I’m 97% sure he’s a robot. The good kind.

Nice, well balanced happy kids do exist - but take away the lovely family and opportunity (ie wealth/stabilty etc) to spend time of elective hobbies like riding and kids dont always turn out so well. He is just one of the lucky ones, not necessarily representative of his (or any other) generation.

Same. Took the little guy with the tag along. I 110% felt like a race horse being abused by the jokey. “Faster” “why aren’t you pedalling”

That's a pretty cynical view. Also, loving and accommodating, wealthy parents don't guarantee nice kids. I see a hell of a lot of entitled little shits who get everything, and are utterly ungrateful and rude pricks..
I don't know his family, but Felix has been riding with Ollie for around 5 years. Has always been a genuinely humble and easygoing kid despite his prodigious talent (by that I mean, he's worked incredibly hard on his riding. Deano took him under his wing years ago, and it shows in both his riding and attitude)

Our tagalong had back pedal brakes.....
Worst.
Idea.
Ever.
Until Quinn stopped braking on me

Dont disagree with any of that. Cynicism borne from experience, but as you say its by no means the rule. A tendency is perhaps a better word.
At least just noting people with happy lives are the lucky ones who missed out on some of the nastier shit sandwiches life can throw at you. Good for him. Just dont forget to note that working really hard on his riding is possible because he can because likely not simply trying to survive. Throw an abusive alcoholic father and extreme poverty into the equation and see how easy going he gets. But sometime core personality traits shine through, its rare though.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
Feelsgoodman haakers coming in with the positive outlook again.

Down on the left!
Jeez. Everyone is celebrating just how much of a decent kid this is and you have to look at the dark view. Again.
