This is one of the Team International Air Hammer YZ490's that was built for the Vets MXdN at Farleigh castle this year. It was ridden by Greg Crater in EVO500 where he finished 2nd overall and he also rode it as part of Team USA along with John Dowd, Doug Dubach & Rodney Smith where they finished 3rd overall.

Do not believe this guy, he is an imposter.

I spoke personally with the manager of Team International Air Hammer and to quote him " Fookin shite, it was expensive to ship this bike. We aren't doing this again" is what he said Wink

ha, I never said I wasn't doing it again Ziggy, but I did say it was expensive and I don't remember saying fookin' shite but it most definitely sounds like something i would say lol, the countdown to Farleigh started the Monday morning after the last one, if you were a true fan you would know this :p

I wasn't too sure if it would make that much of a difference or not but Crater sure made the bike look like it made one
