Here is my take on the team...
John Bridge
John has an amazing passion for riding and views training as a dirty word, his motto is "Ride 7 days and have fun". During the week he commutes on his road bike and enters a few road races to mix it up. However John has a strict rule for weekends and will only be found playing in the dirt on either his downhill or XCO bike.
Hero Ability: Subtle, seated, crank ripping climbing. You better listen for a gear change otherwise that rubber band you have been holding between your teeth will snap before you know it.
Gordo Brewster
Gordo has the work life balance planned to the carb/kg. With a body sculpting background Gordo knows the importance of nutrition and sleep and keeps his training entirely scientific. This allows him to crank out huge kms during the week while maintaining a great family balance.
Hero Ability: Extra lap nullify-er. While Gordo is a true all-rounder, he is proven in 200km+ and mulit-stage road races and he will be chomping at the bit for extra laps should the opportunity arise.
Trent Smyth
Trent is a baller turned cyclist. With trash talk skills learned from playing street ball in the late 90s, he loves working the hype and channeling the energy directly into his drivetrain. Trent has made huge gains in the last 18 months and is looking forward to continue the climb over the cooler months.
Hero Ability: Goes deeper than you! Trent is so team focused that he has no regard for his body when it comes to training and racing. He will go deeper than anyone to keep the machine on song. Trent is also our Image Consultant Marketing director and designs our kits and choses our hipster campsite tunes.
Brad Dalton
Brad has recently started attending a support group for people with tendencies to build and collect bikes. With a man space closely reassembling a finely kitted out pro shop, Brad loves a good build. He is currently rebuilding a GT BMX from the early 90s.
Hero Ability: BMXer from way back!!! Don't hold him up in a decent, manz gotz skillz!!!
Cosi Hofman
Cosi races U19s National XCO but prefers to be out on his BMX or DH bike. While still experimenting with his bike-uality, he is showing maturity beyond his years when it comes to commitment to endurance races and training.
Hero Ability: Can back flip a bike (dirt jump)!
Dave Roberts
Riding is my thing. Full stop.
Hero Ability: Team player, whatever it takes!!!
Special Mention
Hamish Scanlain
Hamish has raced with us many times before however broke his femur in January this year. He is well and truly on the comeback and our thoughts are with him. Will be hard on the guy this weekend as he wishes he was there racing with us. Next year mate!!
