In 2005 the DH team had ten riders.
In 2006 it will have, well we don't quite know ; but lets just say that we are down-sizing.
Everyone gets along. I mean if you were forced to,you’d probably get along to.We all hang out together because we’re forced to.Some of us go on holiday together because we’re forced to.It’s a tight programme here at Team CHR, no slacking, no partying and bed by nine.
A fridge full of Slim- Fast is a contractual obligation.
Don’t be fooled by the exterior we give off. It might look fun and we might look like we are all mates. But we’re not. We’re too serious for that.
Some teams could learn a lot from us.If they were as serious as us maybe they’d all get along smashingly.
I mean we look happy, they throw stuff about. We laugh, they cry.
Maybe they should get serious. It works for us.

Spike is the laid back "daddy" of the team. In 2005 he was on the podium more than any other rider in the team.
He only started riding last year.

Some times referred to as” Party Boy" Huggy is renowned on the race circuit for his out of race antics.
Don't let this fool you that he can't race though.
Beating Ben Reid on his way to sixth fastest time of the day at Innerleithen isn't too shabby.

In another life "tam" has a leading role in the Scottish sitcom "still game".
Still, he's one more races than any other team member. Don't argue with him, he'll tell you to "bote ya rokete".
NOTE - Tank is currently MIA!!!
