Is he still riding for GT?

Hans 'no way' Ray is just wrong....its a derogatory term round here. The term 'stealing a living' has never been more apt
GT ....yes.

He is I suppose one of the original mtb scene guys - legendary for jumping on and off things in a kind of akrigg-esque way if you were to compare it to modern times. Always sponsored by GT and supposedly all round nice guy.

what can i say, for anyone who has been around bikes for a while, Hans Rey is one of those riders from another era.

What Margin Walker said "hes bizmola, back hops on the "Great Wall of China" was his career highlight, No idea why hes still sponsored by GT and dozens of others, maybe its a German think like they all love "The Hoff"
saying that his palmares is superb, but i reckon hes still shit.

Its just one of those 'hear the name/see a pic' every so often but I've not really thought about it. Looking at the mag there's a feature in that mag and it occurred to me that I know zip about him.

He is a joke. He isnt even that rad or extreme. Never has been. Does back hops and endo's whilst posing with the V. He does the same shit tricks but thinks by doing it in some weird place then its ok, "no its not Hans , your still shit" - sorry but he wasnt good in 1990 , he is completely irrelevant now.
Was there a vid recently where he was riding with McAskill, it was embarrassing. He was embarrassed and he continued with his biz tricks.

Saw some footage a few years ago of him riding mountain trails - very fast, very smooth, using his moves to ride the trails rather than for show.

That photo sums him up.....FFS !!

He taught me my favourite trick - the no footed endo.
For context Hans Rey came onto the scene at a time when everything was very XC focussed and was a breath of fresh air. He is cool but his haircut has never been cool.

I enjoyed this vid, and one thing that always comes across from people who meet him is that he's a very nice and unassuming guy.
Posted 7 months ago # -
No footed endo , what about Bob Haro, Eddie Fiola , Mike D, C Campbell.

He's not Danny Mac but feeble? Hardly....

Photo caption time folks....
Posted 7 months ago # -
sorry but disagree, he takes his portfolio of 2 tricks and does them in 'rad' places as previously stated.

(sorry never seen the Bush photo before.....I take back everything I've said- thats off the chart)

Nice guy who rides bikes an gets paid for it. Then does a lot of great work for charideee.
Me thinks Margin Walker has a touch of the green eyed monster.....

iDave's shot abaove is ok but for the bigger picture of where it was taken and the risks involved you need to see where it was taken.
The rock he's hoping on has since fallen into the sea

'he's not rad'
What the heck is this place pinkbiketrackworld.com?

It's funny that someone so shit has been able to make a very decent living out of the sport for so long. Mtb vids look very tame compared to what is done nowadays but the same could be said for many sports, especially skiing where Glen Plake gets a mention in the following vid. It doesn't lessen the impact these guys had at the time.
The following vid gives some idea what he is about.....

Pretty cr*p ain't he?

Hora, check this dude out. He turned up, they all laughed at him, he kicked their buts and then said "seeya".. He was off the chart
