Your Guides:
---------------
Michael is the crazy Canadian ex-pro downhiller whose highly suspect line choices are not to be followed.
His most noted claim to fame is crashing into a crowded barrier doing 62mph through a speed trap in the Kamikaze DH in California 1991 -
subject of many photos and film. Despite this he survived to ride most Norba, European and World Cup DH courses - even finishing some!
If you want to learn how to ride fast he’s your man. Rides a Rocky Mountain Slayer Cannuck to help fly the flag.
Robin aka 'Racing Snake' is comparatively new to mtbing. In a previous life he used to be a sheep
farmer back in the UK and has permanent welly lines to show for it. He upped sticks a few years ago and now lives full time in Spain.
In Bubion, he discovered a natural talent for mountain biking and over the past few years has honed his skills on the great trails here.
Equally at home patiently helping novice riders down gently undulating singletrack or putting experienced riders through their paces, he
rides a Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC that he spins with his skinny little legs up and down the hills without any apparent energy expended.
Tony aka 'Onetime' is an ex-BMXer with the obligatory skills to boot. He's "stupid fast" up and down and likes to leave the earth where ever possible...
He has made some the best and funniest bmx films ever seen where he makes it look oh so easy. Back in Blighty when not out in Spain he is a London pub landlord with the obligatory drinking skills to boot. Tony rides a Rocky Mountain Slayer Cult all in black with white gloves and shoes - very pimp!
