He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994.

roughneck – a lot / all of its Calderdale I think. Recognise the Gorple reservoirs, Lumb Falls etc… so my local stomping ground which is a bit of a pisser because I can’t ride it quite as well as CA!
looks like cow and calf@Ilkley Moor, shipley glen/the woods below Harden Moor maybe and at the end he comes out of lee lane and down to the Malt Shovel @ Harden for a pint. not sure about the res. or bridge
that was great,, way better than the fixie one the other week,, so thats it off out for a ride,, wish i had just a little of that skill and confidence,,,
I think i’ll hide in the shed with my bike.
Aceness. I love watching that guy ride.
Yep, that boy can ride
where was it
Awesome stuff, just shows you don’t need a trials cycle to ride like that. Well, he doesn’t anyway….
as my other half always says ‘real trials bikes do have suspension’
I keep rminding him they also have engines but then i also keep reminding him to pick his dirty socks up but he doesnt listen to that either….
Mightily impressive. A joy to watch.
right, im off out for a ride. thanks!
wow, brilliant riding, lovely UK countryside as well

v.good.
His best vid yet I think
stunning yet again.
Great mix of the truly impressive and stuff us mere mortals can aspire to just like the original ‘Dirt’ video of many years ago.
Thats how I imagine stuff can be ridden when I look at it, all subtle shifts and control.
Man he makes it look smooth…
my jaw dropped on a few occasions watching that. Technically snazzy.. i’m sure he’s running his sus pretty hard on that bike.
blimey, no wonder he always rides on his own
i’m not worthy
All very well, but he still drinks shandy
;o)
Immense. Just ace.
really enjoyed that,amazing ability shown there,
he is quickly establishing himself as god status as far as i am concerned.
i bow before his skills
An inspiration as ever……talented git!
****’ L, the man should go to “Britain’s Got Talent”.
he’s a bit good eh? but did he really drink that tea?
love 2:48 and 2:57 moves…….amazing he had the energy the ground he covered in that ride……!
He makes it look unreal… Fantastic stuff
mad skillz. even more impressive because he’s riding full sus!
that was great,, way better than the fixie one the other week,, so thats it off out for a ride,, wish i had just a little of that skill and confidence,,,
Eeeeee, looks reet niiice
I wanna ride my bike now and pretend I’m as good as that.
Top vid as ever from CA. Feeling suitable inspired I’ll be out for a ride tonight me thinks… 🙂
WOW that was just brilliant!! loved how smooth he makes it look, more vids like this please fella!!
Don’t have a shed. Think I’ll start building one.
blimey…you can see how the bike handling skills from trials riding come in handy!
*swoon*
Just lovely to watch. Kids should learn to do trials stuff soon as they can walk I reckon.
