FAVOURITE STYLE:Adam mainly likes dirt jumping and street riding but will happily work on his freeride skills and go downhilling with his mates.
FAVOURITE SPOTS:At the moment, probably the sandramps due to a lack of other spots but enjoys Nant Yr Arain occasionaly to ride the technical downhill tracks. Also he enjoys town riding fairly often.
FAVOURITE RIDER:Um, well, he hasn't really got a favourite rider, but just respects anybody good, including his friends.
OTHER:Adam has only really just got back on the saddle after a short gap when his bike was playing up. He has only recently bought his DMR frame and his Dirt Jumper forks and it's a nice change from his old GT bike. He's always looking to improve his tricks and doesn't feel happy after a days biking if he hasn't walked away a better rider.

FAVOURITE STYLE: Udara likes downhill and dirt jumping but is also a firm street rider, when he finds the time in between practising his jumps.
FAVOURITE SPOTS:At the moment, the Uni and the woods around the Uni because you can practise all different types of riding from jumping, street and downhill.
FAVOURITE RIDER:Greg Minaar and Cedric Gracia because they have both style and class, aswell as being cool.
OTHER:Udara has only just got his new bike, and is loving every minute of it. He enjoys riding big and smooth but doesn't enjoy big drops on to flat (yet probably from now on wont be able to feel it with his Avalanche shock and Shivers). Udara has been out of the scene for a bit whilest waiting for his bike but still came with us to help build and watch. I'm sure he won't have lost out though, as he's the fastest improver out of us.

FAVOURITE STYLE:
Owen is mainly into dirt jumping but you'll often se him literally 'blur' past you on the downhill tracks, most probably because of hi disregard for personal safety.
FAVOURITE SPOTS:The Sand ramps. This is where Owen learnt his jumping technique and is the only decent jumps track around this area.
FAVOURITE RIDER:
Doesn't really have one in particular.
OTHER:Owen is the crew's 'hardcore' rider. There never seems to be something he won't try and doesn't care what happens to him and his bike when doing it. He's a technical rider with ALOT of confidence in himself and this shows in his jumps.

FAVOURITE STYLE:Freeride, plainly because it looks so damn good!
FAVOURITE SPOTS:Well, this boys very secretiva and doesn't like to say.
FAVOURITE RIDER:Greg Minnar as he's both fast and smooth (nothing to do with a poster I'm sure)
OTHER:Like Udara, Joe is just getting back into the scene as he's awaiting his new bike(see above) and he'll be a welcomed adition to the crew. Whatever he may lack in skill he definately makes up for it with the 'phsyco award' 2002. Anything goes for Mr. Busby. I mean, he even fights trees in his spare time!
