Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 8, 2016 Share 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 Odinson, Bizkit031 and Spoke101 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 8, 2016 Share 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, Bloukrans, Bizkit031 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted June 8, 2016 Share 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 Gen and Bizkit031 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMartin Posted June 8, 2016 Share 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.

raptor-22 Posted June 8, 2016 Share 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.
