Cameron Cornforth - Weapon Two

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:58:48 +0000

I met Cameron about 4 years ago at my first ever race, he was the guy that used to always smoke me even on his hardtail. He is still at it. Just to note I did once beat him in 2010. Good times ha ha. Anyway still good friends with Cameron despite him being from the arse end of nowhere! I have been down to his house a few times - its more of a go build a downhill track than will ya cut the grass down there?

Ben Kennedy - Weapon One

I knew I would see more of this guy and I was right. 2010 Irish National Championship and BDS Overall Winner in 2011. People dont realise but Ben is the first Irish Rider since Jamie Popham to win the BDS Overall - pretty big deal!

Anyway I asked Ben a few questions and heres what he had to say for himself:
