Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Well.. Our local paper had an article.. But you would expect so since it's pmb... But you got to laugh at this shoddy journalism Good grief... Steve "Hacksaw" Smith?! FFS man. That's just not on. Edited June 8, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Bizkit031, Odinson and Spoke101 3
Nick Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Perhaps the Hub can do a short write up once they have a clip of that record breaking run...and post it with the article. This is normally done by Hubbers (and its usually all over Facebook), but not this time. Wanted to watch it again, and have been searching for the clip but cannot find it. The record breaking run happened last year and the video of it is at the end of the article I linked above. This weekend's run merely extended his existing record and you can watch it half way down the page on Red Bull here. Red Bull seem to be keeping it to themselves for now. But we'll share it once they start allowing the public to embed it. ddj, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Mongoose! and 2 others 5

Stretch Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) Greg's race shirt had chainsaw on it as well. yeah...thats why I posted that pic - he also gave it a little bit of loving as he crossed the line the syndicate guys were big mates of steve's and they always stayed with him in Canada and Steve always stayed with greg in SA after the race Edited June 8, 2016 by Stretch Bizkit031 and Gen 2
HappyMartin Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 This really does need to be celebrated. He is not just our most successful cyclist but most likely one of our all time most successful sportsman. Perhaps if golf was an actual sport rather than a game Gary Player could compete for the title but since it isn't he can't. the nerd, Mongoose! and Gen 3

raptor-22 Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Well I apologise if it was more of an unknown fact than I thought...I just assumed everyone knew he was chainsaw. iI was pretty evident if someone watched the finals on Sunday as everyone was branded with chainsaw. Greg held a canadian chainsaw flag up at the end and had a chainsaw on his kit..... http://image1.redbull.com/rbcom/010/2016-06-04/1331798502471_10/0010/1/550/366/10/steve-smith-memorial-run-fort-wiliam-2016.jpg Thanks for explaining. I only stared watching the coverage just before Minaars run
