Joe " The living legend" McCall

well what can i say about Joe mcCall...apart from the fact that I hope he wins..i'll be honest..a battle royale between himself and Robin for the title in Djouce would be the ultimate gladiator contest. But Robin has quit to become a male model along with Jamie Popham and Craig Brady..so what can I expect now..Conor mcConvey told me no, maybe, no..but I might change his mind..you never know..
But Joe..i have known him since he was a spotty kid , reading science books and avoiding girls..but..on the singletrack...he was in the first Holy trinity of Seymour, Pennefather and McCall..3 giants and the guys who set the stage for singletrack mastery...because at the end of the day..to be able to flick yourself along off camber roots and slow down time and warp the laws of nature..thats what it s all about ! And Joe is the ultimate practitioner..
Before Joe came along..singletrack just waited to be discovered !!
