MTB Kid Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 http://www.pinkbike.com/news/shaun-palmer-bike-check-2009.html I love the coughs during the interview .... and the fact that " Whistler is pretty much like DisneyLand up there "
Iwan Kemp Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Yeah, I like characters like him. The Juan Pablo of MTB'ing.
AndreZA Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 I do not agree. My vote goes to Tomac. Mampara2009-07-28 02:12:02
Matchstix Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 I remember those were awesome. . hahaha Nice blue bling
MTB Kid Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 Mampara - sorry, I don't get what that Manitou has to do with Mr Palmer? ps. do you want to buy one of them - I have one that just needs some TLC
_im_from_earth Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 He's a legend for sure! 76th at his first World Cup in 10 years... RESPECT! As for Aaron Gwin... he is without a doubt the next biggest thing in the sport of Downhill!
Bos Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 haha, that is a cool bike.. he seems a bit more moddest than the last time I herd him speak.Tell you what.. He probably deserved to be a bit "full of it" back when He got 3rd in his 1st race. what 97''? He always said; If you can run your mouth and back it up, thats a beautiful thing.." guess he knows its not going to be quite so easy this time.. If he can come back and get a top 10.. sh*t, I will eat my hat. Not as easy as back then when DH was all skill big balls and recklesness. skill is now Honed.. fitness is big part of racing and bike, head he's got and well bike to. Big ups for taking the plunge and not being to serious about himself.. yet. Long live the Palmtree..
_im_from_earth Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 well considdering the only saffa's qualifying at Worlds are Needles and Minnaar it makes you realise just how difficult it is to get that 80th spot. First WC in 10 years, on the bike for 4 weeks... I'd call that pretty impressive with the level of racing at the moment. Can he get a top 10? Doubtful!
MTB Kid Posted July 28, 2009 Author Posted July 28, 2009 I do not agree. My vote goes to Tomac. Damn, I was worried this thread would go this way ..... now if only Tomac could stage a comeback .... Palmer vs Tomac vs The Rest.
