He even manages to sneak in the phrase "The Godfather of UK freeride"

Yeah the whole Team McCoy thing was on BM. IN fairness though, it wasnt known that he had AS until the end of the thread. Up to that point he was getting ripped to pieces.

The Godfather of UK freeride did do a DH race back in 2010, coming [url= http://www.rootsandrain.com/race273/2010-aug-15-woodland-riders-hsd-gawton/#hmasterm ]6th out of 11 in the Masters category.[/url] Surely no-one can argue about such a prodigious racing career ๐Ÿ™‚

Cheers, Rich

Actually he did get some serious advice, which was to chill out! Certainly no one new about his AS at the time.

Shout if this crosses a line, I'll take the link down, but it is funny, and not just for the ribbing the guy gets. [url= http://forums.bikemagic.com/showthread.php/93945-Looking-for-a-mechanic ]Original thread[/url].

I beat Elbry at the Brechfa Enduro at the start of this year. fact.

Gnarr points self awarded with a concurrent self award penalty putting me back on 0 points?

moonboy - I'll award you Gnarr points for that, so you can keep them! I also must admit to having a bit of a long distance bromantic view of Elbry. His antics are fascinating. ๐Ÿ˜•

I like how he was a 'factory' sponsored rider for Transition "back in the day..." The factory being Kyle and Kevin's houses, and the sponsorship amounting to the UK distro at the time (very dodgy geezer in Leeds) giving Elbry a used Dirtbag frame that had done the rounds as a Magazine test mule.

In the interests of balance, Elbry beat me by a bike length in an xc race a couple of years ago. I was on a suitable bike, and he was on some 6" rad-mobile with 55's and huge tyres.
