Times move on and Lewy is riding for the Reeflex wetsuits team now, so he's out of 'underground' and up here with the 'faves' crew.

He'd be fourteen now :wink: so not so impressive really ( insert sarcasm)

Young folk like that make me feel so embarrassed of my own riding, So jelous of their skills.
