David Knight vs Gee Atherton

David Knight takes on downhill mountainbiking champ Gee Aherton:



Apparently, this was only the second run Knight had on this downhill course - a course setup for mountainbikes and one that Atherton knows well. Shows the pure talent, skill and speed Knight has.

Surprised that Atherton feels that it is 50% bike on downhill mountainbiking. I love Knight's comments about buying a bike from a shop and then competing at world level on it... because that's exactly what he did last year. He gets a standard Kawasaki MX bike... spends a few hours on it in his garage to convert it to an Enduro bike and then goes and wins a World Enduro Champs round on it. Genius!

The Knighter!

Just went over to Dave Kneen's website ManxPhotosOnline to give him a 'thank you' for some awesome shots he got at the Manx GP of the Wee Monster and the BAMF. Dave's just done a photo shoot with David Knight...

...some great shots of the 'Iron Man of Enduro'...

... these shots show why he's multiple enduro world champ and won the British Championship again this year... on a privateer Kawasaki!!

When was the last time Kawasaki won anything?

The Manxman has said that given the time and opportunity he'd like to have a crack at the TT... the man is pure talent and would probably win it too!

I wonder if he knows about the flat-trackin' at ShorttrackUK?
