Isn't this guy also a pro snowboarder/competitive mountainbiker?

It's easy to see the connection between the sports..the only thing I really wonder is that how these kind of guys' bodies can take all the abuse, year round!???

i think South Lake Tahoe's Shaun Palmer can definitely be categorized as a successful crossover athlete. i think i remember one year he even won the X-Games SkierX... and his background is in snowboarding.

Richie should move to Utah, he would fit in just fine. (and could train in Virgin for the Rampage year around)

not sure on will burks actually.
brett tippie is a founding freerider though and was also a pro snowboarder.
I hear palmer was even talking smack about making a 250 main....
edit just checked his site, looks like he has an AMA DNF to his credit. still pretty impressive really.

Will is a big MX guy, yes.
Our own str8line is not to be trifled with on two wheels, from what I hear. He's okay on boards, too."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."
