You might have noticed we were all playing around on bikes, pit bikes, road bikes, jump bikes etc in the BBQ video posted yesterday – and after several beers, we all concluded that at some point a ridiculously fast bike would kill us all. Phil came up with a theory – how can you get […]
This is pretty sweet
Introductory Blog. Mitto… Serious Business is it?
Besides the addition of Chris Parry aka Paz, the dudes at Driftworks have also deemed it a good idea to ask me blog up some stuff, I guess it’s because I have a big mouth. My name is Mat Steele, but i’ve kinda become known as Mitto, after a seriously old joke team in Japan, called Mitto Natto […]

However, it also adds a lot of weight and unnecessary complexity. We decided to convert the front suspension to S-Body McPhearson strut style […]
