The difference between "what-a-guy" on his clapped out sh*t bike holding up the group with endless mechanicals and OTBs and "that-guy" who's charging at the front of the pack on a homemade high-pivot full suspension bike, or rattle-canned Kona Stinky, is totally invisible to the casual observer and manifest to the initiated.
Like our wicked mix of imperial and metric measurements - and awkward translations of such - to me it's among the most beautiful things about the tech-gear aspect of our chosen passion.
The most epic shredder I've never met is named Clayton, and I wish you could still see a photo of his bike [**here**](https://nsmb.com/showthread.php?t=156524) but sadly the thread is dead. I used to click the link and breathe in the image of his bike before writing anything about bikes/gear because it screamed "TESTIFY" so loud it could have silently filled in as the lead singer of Rage.
I think he may actually be from your neck of the woods?
