well not quite :P

My mate Buz sent me this. Buzzy's race number in the US is and always has been (well so far as I know) #45. Last season a guy named Rik Smits applied to the AHRMA to get this number but alas it's already spoken for ;) the reason has now become quite apparent and this is what you get when a 7'4" basketball player enters VMX :o I dunno whether I'd be arguing the number point with him personally though for safety reasons :D Originally from the Netherlands he played for the Indiana Pacers for his entire career and his shoe size is a piddly US size 24 :o bigfoot lives!!

 :D nah it's no photoshop photochop EML, this is the real deal, the guy is bleeding huuuuuge! :o there's apparently another guy over there that races vintage also, ex basketballer, he's only 6'11" or something though. Here's a little vid tht tells who Rik is. It's not really all that interesting but I just can't get over the size of the bloke..I don't even know how he'd go simply changing a plug with hands that size.

Imagine the poor bugger shopping for riding gear. How many cows would die to make his size 24 boots? :o Or do they waive the rules and allow him to run the basketball boots.
