Johnny Waddell kicked butt in juniors and told team managers Dave and Mark Rogers that he knew a bunch of other guys in Australia, who were even faster than him. What happened in 1999 was nothing short of amazing. This team of youngsters from Australia came to the United States and out of nowhere just decimated the field of downhillers and downhill races all around the US and in Canada. tune in for some amazing stories and belly laughs as team manager Mark Rogers walks the guys through each race, road trip and arrest racing bikes in 1999.
