Sport: DH, Dirt Jumping
Weapon of Choice: Turner DHR (oldskool)
Bio: I've known joe for a while now and when he first started riding I didnt really think anything of it. But recently his riding has improved ridiculously. Hes not only a rider but he's commited to the MTB scene in his area. He spends hours on end with his spade creating lines all over the place and especailly in his garden where hes created his very own bike park. Has been known in the past to play immaturely with sausage rolls.

Josh
Age: 16
Sport: DH, Dirt Jumping
Weapon of Choice:
Bio: Like Robin i've known josh since i was about 2. Theres been stages in life were weve hated each other and had comedy fights ( remember them at primary marvin? ) When we began riding we didnt really have a clue what we were doing. But when we started that first jump over the road, football and all that other bull shit went straight outa the window and we were hooked. Definite mate for life, even though he does need to get some of his own food....
Simon
Age: 19
Sport: DH
Weapon of Choice: Balfa BB7
Bio: I met Simon living in 'GP' aka Granny's Palace caravan in Morzine. His nickname is the 'Butcher' for good reason, he honestly breaks enough bike parts to stock your local Halfords. Part of the balfa duo with his brother jamie, he is definitely the louder one of the two and this transmits over to his riding style. Very fast in technical sections and balls out at all times, maybe why he qualified 2nd in open category at the NPS Innerleithen.He's only been riding for 2 years DH so listen out for a creaking balfa at a race near you.
Jamie
Age: 16
Sport: DH
Weapon of Choice: Balfa BB7
Bio: Jamie, Simon's younger brother was also living at Granny's Palace at the time as well. He's only 15 but looks at least 26 and to be honest I still don't believe him.He's probably the quieter one of the two but if he falls off and is having a bad day step away....His size and 'beefness' helps him power through most types of tracks but in his own words he's '---- in the wet'. He's only entered four races, but he's still managed to get a 2nd place at Abercarn in the dragons series. One to look out for.

Rob (jolley)
Age: 16
Sport: DH, Dirt Jumping
Weapon of Choice:
Bio: The first time i met Jolly was when i went bridge jumpin with Josh in Froggat. We were sat casually on the bridge bein wusses shouting at each other to JUMP!!! Then Jolly just decided to smoothly roll off the bridge sideways into the darkness. Ledgend. Since then ive rode with him nearly every weekend and have seen him progress into a definite member of the hardtail pride.
Robin
Age: 15
Sport: DH, Dirt Jumping.
Weapon of Choice: Kona Stuff
Bio: Robin....Iv'e known this guy since i was about 2, we've both grown up together in the tiny village of Grindleford building, riding, running riot since i can remember. His first bike the 'schwinn' lasted about a month. At first he was the most uncordinated, gangly mess on the bike i have ever seen, but over time after hours spent jumping at mine hes progressed into a half decent rider. He has a very interesting view on things and the way he looks at new jumps e.t.c that havent been ridden yet worrys me.. Allways around for a laugh and if you need a favour hed never say now.
