As many on here run front brakes just wondered who your favourite riders are that are good with there front brakes for me there are three that stand out.

In no particular order.

Rob Ridge.
Dave Osato.
Rick Molinterno.

And to be fair for the era Andy Ruffell, to come up with the ruff hops when he did deserves respect.

If anyone has any good video clips please post em up.

Not sure maybe he used to look for riders that were good with there front brake, I guess he related to it being so good with one himself.

If so, seconded

i am indeed a retard

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:53 PM »

Lol.....

He's a good lad, Pill. Known him for years

Stayed at a B&B one time with him, and he refused to sleep in any of the ground floor rooms because he'd have to have a window open and "someone might reach in and grab me"

jedi · « **Reply #22 on:** December 31, 2008, 04:54 PM »

pmsl

rode with him at corby........wow!!

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #23 on:** December 31, 2008, 05:01 PM »

Yeah, he's always been a ruler.

I do find it hard to resist the temptation to push him over when he doing one of those silly long toothpicks though......
