I remember first seeing Seongtaek in an old 2001 KOG video I bought while traveling in Japan back in the day... I thought it was awesome to see a non-Japanese rider take 1st in a class at KOG. Congrats on his win! Nice to hear Martti came out to support the comp too and take a laid back approach to the day.
Random question: anyone know if Kimmo has gotten back into riding seriously? I remember a vid of him a short while ago messing around on the flat for the first time after a long absence apparently..
