Name: Paul Hutchins

Favourite way of saying Hello: Hey

Lives at: Howrah, Tasmania

First Downhill Ride I was 18 years old

I am now 33 Years old

Current bike:      2009 Iron Horse Sunday Team X                                     

Bikes name:      Green Machine

Dream bike:       Intense M9 with all the bells and whistles.

 Favourite 3 Australian trails:

  1. The Gully @ Tranmere
  2. Rollercoaster @ Tranmere
  3. Tolosa DH @ Glenorchy MTB Park

Overseas trail I want to ride the most: Anything at Whistler or Andorra.

 Pet Goats Name: Ken - I actually have a mate called Ken who is obsessed with goats. Check out Fainting Goats on youtube!

Scariest Downhill moment: Getting my first DH rig and not having the excuse of owning a hard tail to not hit things.

Best race results so far: Pretty sure I won a Hard Tail division once (I was the only one in it but it's still a win.)

Sponsors: Digital Giraffe (My web design company, does that count?)

What do you really want someone to say to you one day ? Thanks for putting in countless hours building that jump park and maintaining the Tranmere DH trails. Then they can give me a Cascade Lager. Good times.

Racing or riding with friends ??? Both, but I really do enjoy solo sessions on my locals.

Food that makes me chuck: Broccoli.

Food that makes me smile: Crayfish.

Best downhill tip for newbies: Just give it a crack otherwise you'll be too old before you know it.

Best downhill tip for experienced riders: Treat riders who aren't as experienced with respect.

Best bike mod ever made: Filing out the brake arch on some old Z1's so I could fit a bigger tyre in.

Who do you like to beat the most ? My mind.

Biggest injury and how: Maybe folding my knuckle back at 90 degrees and twisting it back into place due to the adrenalin rushing through me. It still hurts almost 12 months on.

Favourite way of saying goodbye: Catch ya.
