Donny Schmit. I interviewed him for the local paper and he told me “I can’t believe I don’t know you.”

Shaun Palmer # 555


When I was a kid racing for Specialized this dude was on top of the world and was always super cool to my old man who was pretty eccentric and would’ve been an easy target .


Palm was always cool . In more ways than just being cool .

Golden Boy from when I was a young one but seeing Chicken and Larry Ward at Gainesville with the mullets and the chicks, damn that was cool.  Also as stated in another thread young Bradshaw just had it!

Honorable mention. If being all about dirt bikes, having fun and making us laugh is cool, this guy needs to be on the list.

Yves Demaria, when he wore OXBOW mx gear (between 1991 and 1999).

I'm giving @super_fan_38  the benefit of the doubt, if it is Brian, he's a proud father, parents should be their kids biggest fans, , if it's not Brian that would be sad.

From smokin darts on the line, to the finger bangs, to the morning wood, pretty sure he told Musquin or Pourcel on the podium that the French don’t want none, Webbs been pretty cool. He was fun to watch on a 250

When I think cool I think of MC and KDub, all these people being posted are fucking rad but so many of them were/are intense stone cold killers on race day. MC and KDub were chill as all they come and never acted any different than anyone else in the pits.

Hanny has always been one of the coolest riders in my book. Cool style. Cool persona. Cool gear. He’s the reason I always liked SHIFT.
