[meaksy]

...and he's only 13 Years of age - Bloody Hell!!

He'd be fourteen now 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.

na he must be 15 or turning because in the interview he thanks funkshen who had a hiatus in 2009
