Pretty good old stuff here of Shaums. Remember Bullet Brothers forks and him bunny hopping his "downhill" bike higher than most of the park rats can get their light weight hardtails these days?

Shaums was such an inspiration to me back in those days. I wanted to do everything that he did. DH bike nak-nak, check. Bunny hop my Super 8 onto a picnic table, check. But I never quite got it to manual.

Shaums is a True Gentleman and one Hell of a rider!! I feel fortunate to know him!!!
If you want a good laugh look for an old MTB film by Thor Wixom that has me crashing Zzyzxx fork # 0001 at mammoth back in the 90's over a couple of ill placed cars!! CLASSIC!!
AGAIN! Shaums you are a BADASS old friend!!!

Yeah Shaums is one of the most selfless riders out there...always willing and wanting to help out other riders. I remember at '03 World's Lugano, he spent most of practice helping the juniors and girls out and he still went on to kill it in the race finishing pretty high up if i remember correctly. Still ripping at Whistler last time i saw him too.

Ya Shaums' is an all round classy guy, I remember him doing norco demonstrations and after watching him ride I was convinced it was easier to bunny-hop a downhill bike!

+1 for Shaums riding a DH bike at the 1st Rye Airfield skatepark comp and killing it - pedal grinds and all.
