Stoked to see Gwinny get up. Even as an Aussie I've got a lot of time for him. Looking forward to Aaron sticking himself in the middle of the fight all season. Give the other usual suspects something else to consider.
After all you can't spell Gwin with out WIN right? hah hah er......

-YEAH GWIN! he slayed it. Proud to be a american-temeculian. Don't forget Ryan Hughes in addition to John Tomac...Ryno knows his sh1t, hell he got a 40yr old mom (Leigh Donovan) to be the 1st american at the worlds in 2010!
Gwin is the man, hope he continues to inspire a new generation of american kids to get into DH racing.
-Even bigger applause for Duncan RIffle, 14th place, solid quali, solid early season results and the top result guy for the Giant team.
-USA USA USA.
-Intense Cycles backed GR RACING is 3rd place in the team ranking! Emmeline and Fionn getting 2nd and 3rd.
-USA USA USA

I can't believe it, Aaron did it!!!! I've been fortunate to see him race twice this season at Fontana and he is really that fast. I just can't believe it.....all that off season work with Tomac looks like it is paying off. Hopefully this will put DH back on the map here in the US. Holy crap, he really did it!!!! Now the US (and specifically So. Cal) has one of our own that we can get behind and cheer for this WC season. This is amazing, way to go Aaron! Cheers.....
