Mountain Biking - Favourite riders?

Just wondering who everyone likes...

BTW, I couldn't be bothered to name any more riders, as there are so many good ones out there...

I like jeff lenosky.

Dylan Tremblay, think he's such a talented rider, good at most disaplines, and sets a good image to mountain bikers all over the place... A rider to aspire to in my opinion.

Robbie Bourdon, John Cowan, Jeff Lenosky, Mike Steidley

Oh and Tyler Klassen, because he's a very good rider also! :)

Gotta say you likely missed some of the top riders in the world. Gracia and Simmons are glaring ommisions in place of Tremblay haha

Top two Gracia and Simmons. Two of the smoothest riders I have ever seen and both incredible at what they do. BEyond that, Shandro because is an awesome person and a genuine nice guy. (the other two are as well haha)

Aaron Chase(A bit of a personal bias mind you.)

Kyle Strait

Ryan Leech....

He was great in Manifesto.

Simmons and Gracia rock fer sure. I really like Wade's attitude,he really knows how lucky he is to ride for a living. Cedric, what a flippin nut. There are so many but those are my two.

Marla Streb or Anne-Caroline Chausson :)
Gotta have some bike chix.

Anne is smoking. Too be she retired from dh.

:roflmao: Makes sense now.

romaniuk is my fave. just cause he rides so bloody fast. Either that or leech, never seen a smoother rider then him

My son wants to put his in here so it's Chris Herndon, Bearclaw,Lenoski.There you have from a 12 yr old.

Yep romaniuk from me too.

Who is chris herndon? (honestly never heard of him)

Actually Anne isn't retired, she's just focusing on the races in Europe.

Yep romaniuk from me too.

Who is chris herndon? (honestly never heard of him)
He's a friend who rides for Specialized.Most haven't heard of him. He just told me he he got a full page in last months Decline( racing downhill at Snowshoe) and 3/4 page in this month( 4x at Mammoth).I was at his shop today checking out his new SX.He and my son really get along well.

Come on, noone's mentioned Nathan Rennie, he is fast and a bloody good freerider. Also has anyone ever seen him muscle his bike around, it is freakin awsome. Also not many people think of Mick Hannah or Jared Rando, these guys may not be as fast, but they are super smooth, I reckon Rando could be pretty close to Gracia when it comes to being smooth.



Oh and Tyler Klassen, because he's a very good rider also! :)

Sorry but I don't see why Klassen is the best, sure I'd say he is good, but not the best. To me the best should be able to do a couple of different disciplines and have style. Klassen is basically another Bender who doesn't crash as much and rides a different bike. After watching his segment in Kranked 5 it made me wish that he had never tried to do a moto-whip, he looks so bloody ********.

I have a feeling the 2 other you mentioned are because no one hears of them ;)

I was leaving rennie to you guys to be honest. ;)

Yeah, Aussie pride, next time there is a World cup on in your area, hell, they may eveb just go to Whistler have a look at Sick Mick, he is fast and powerful and look at Rando, he will be on a Giant DH Team, he is super smooth. We were talking on an Aussie forum and none of us could recall him ever crashing and he is stoopid smooth :P

Wanna hear the irony...

there is no wc dh in whistler ;)...

I will keep an eye out for grouse

Oh one day, hey they may even compete in the Big Air DH at crankworx.

Nathan Rennie, Jared Rando. As Hopper said, Rennie is damn fast and muscles his bike and Rando is very, very smooth.

edit: Oh yeah I also like Richie Schley and Wade Simmons on the FR side of things.

So many great riders.Looks like our sport is in great shape.
