One is mega stylish and one is mega fast. Kick back and watch one of the most underrated, yet brilliant brother acts in mountain biking - Matt and Sam Hockenhull.
There are two things we know for sure about these brothers from the North of England: they’re wild no matter the bike they're on and the lads at Commencal can't understand anything they’re saying at their Andorran HQ.
"Everyone has heard of Dave, but nobody really knows who he is. More commonly known as 'that stylish lad' or 'Ratboy's mate,’ he's arguably one of the most stylish riders in the UK, along with his older brother Matt (or Baldy) who's also one of the fastest lads in the UK with recognition and respect from many a World Cup racer," says filmer Tom Caldwell.
"Trouble is, Dave's Instagram says Sam Hockenhull. Who's Sam? Another brother? No, that is Dave. He's somewhat of a mystery. They're chalk and cheese really, opposites. Matt comes from a motocross background where the fastest line is the winning line and that's how his mind works now he brings those skills over to mountain biking. When Dave got into riding, he'd make turns where there weren't any turns, flick the back-end out and look for the loam and roost, all about the style and not necessarily the speed."
"We might not know what Corrie is," says Commencal, "but we know the Hockenhulls are right up our street!"
