Age: 23
Birthdate: February 13th, 1977
Height: 173cm
Weight: 57kg/126lbs

Type: XC- DH- RD-
Category: SrSp SrSp 5

Preference: Downhill and Cross Country mountain bike, a little bit of road.

DH Race Bike: 1999 Intense Uzzi-DH, Hayes Discs/Hubs, various other bits. In Yamaha blue, so it'll match his R6 when he actually has the money to buy one. Why not go look at the pretty R6 too: Yamaha Motorcycles. (That's 120bhp of ram-air assisted deliciousness squished into just over 170kg of bike.)

XC Race Bike/Fun Bike: Deep Cove Hummer.

Road Bike: Rocky Mountain Turbo.

Brian started biking seriously in 1996, the following year he discovered racing and got hooked. So in 1998 he licensed and began XC, only to discover part way through the season that DH was a load of fun. So much fun that he forgot to do any XC races for the rest of the season, and his poor road bike which he got for training collected quite a bit of dust between uses.

Stuff on The Shore.

Have fun. =)

DH: 1. Wake up at least 30 minutes before his race time. 2.Eat Pop-Tart. 3.Race. (Brian seems to have an unhealthy fascination with Pop-Tarts.)

XC (revised): See DH
