A person or rider you think has stood out, [someone who you had good times with and needs a shout out]
—Bob Manchester! I had some of the best sessions with him in his backyard, it was differently a big highlight of the year, he won NASS dirt and Patrick’s Lord of Dirt in France. Also he’s sent some mental bangers but still flowing around with style.
