Newman should be 45 really considering the amount of time hes been around the mountainbike scene, he started of Downhilling then moved on to dirt jumping when he realised he would have to get a job if he wanted to keep racing. Now the old man of the team its seems strange to me that the 14 year old lad i helped out in my days at muddyfox should now be so highly rated and regarded amongst the dirt ferternaty. Known for his dirt riding it was an eye opener when I finally got to see him shredding a mini ramp with crank flips and manuals a plenty. The heal clickers seem long behind him and a smoother style has appeared with age..... all he needs now is a wash!!
