RIP, I had a amazing green Lava Dome in 94/95 that was my first foray into a real deal mountain bike and it certainly fuelled a lifelong passion. Raced downhill for a season on it and then got a Kilaeua to replace it. Had the rasta Stinky-Deelux when I got back into racing 2000/2001, and an army green Stuff that I then used for years after moving to Whistler in 2002. Tested a Honzo for this fine site in 2016 too, hard to believe that's on the closer side to a decade ago now!
