Hunter...
Aren't you being a bit Biased towards American Bikers???
I'd say yes to both Tomac and Overend...but what about Thomas Frishnect, or Miguel Martinez, or Cadel Evans, or Steve Peat....???
We're in a Global Community my man!!!! :dance:

Actually Rich no I am not! I never thought of Thomas. It is purely a opinion poll. I am sorry if this offends it was not intended to. Also considering the diversity of the above riders IMHO I would say they have an edge. You are correct I should have considered Thomas.

I'm going to say, "I'm the King of crashing", but my overall vote is Tomac, he ruled road, xc, downhill, slalom, don't forget BMX and he sometimes did 2 or 3 disciplines in the same day. Road race in the morning, a small snack, perhaps a XC race, then lunch, and then Downhill in the afternoon. He ruled, he was always smiling and was and is a great representative of our sport.

Peat is nowhere near Tomac or Overend ...... Peaty is veeeeery new to the scene in comparison with stuff of legends plus he is highly overrated here in the UK. I would also suggest Nicolas Vouilloz Best DHer of all time.

But whatever.
BTW on a side note. I agree with you. Overall I would have to say hans is at the very least one of the top two or three 'overall' riders ever. Amazing rider.
