would that be tinker juarez? if so, my memory for peculiar names from the 90s has served me well!
Yes it is the mighty Tinker. The man is a legend.
Amy, Mr Lee!
Maybe inspriational as a racer but as a person... i'm lead to believe from many sources he's a complete...................well not such a nice person and that's being very polite.

*reads interview*
*slips into coma*
Didn't Juarez turn up at a SITS or something and out-ride everyone else by a factor of two to one or something, whilst on a fixed SS and having an eight hour kip or something stupid?
I think he was blindfolded and had been set on fire IIRC.
Oh it was mayhem, so it probably helped alleviate the boredom ...

Oh my golly, what a fantastic interview. And a truly excellent blog. Pee off to America and prove yourself against the pros.

I loved her.
Molegrips,
That was Rudi Nadler on his MCTiFab fixie...he did twicwe as many laps as me despite running the same bike and gear ratio! Fast little blighter 🙂
Damn good artist too...I have three of his prints on the wall at home.

sharki - I know Rob Lee, he's a decent enough bloke so I don't know where you heard bad things about him from?
great thread by the way
Reference to the thread title...?
Sharki: don't know where you got that from mate - Rob's a top guy.
noteeth, susan demattei???? hot as...
**** me stoner, how did you stumble upon that freak.
Tinker looked better on a klein.
ha ha great interview - i'll bet his mum turns up to all his 'races' only 11 laps down in the SSMM too - bet his 'sponsers' were pleased as punch with that. Twit.
Surprised nobody has mentioned this bloke...

Plop_pants - I disagree, Tinker has always looked and performed his best on Cannondale bikes. He is Mr Big C.
tinker looked best on a bmx!
- Rob's a top guy
I agree - he seems ok on his webpage.

this rob guy I can't be arsed to read his interview why do people not like him, is he a bit like elbry. Also jason mcroy was he actually really good in the same way as peat or barel or is he just spoke of highly because he's dead.
Tails, JMC was [i]truly[/i] talented.
Body armour? But I'm not going to fall off!
I guess people just don't like winners.
who was on the spesh team when he was on it? did he used to ride both xc and downhill?Tails, JMC was truly talented.
very britishI guess people just don't like winners.

Jason was for years the top Brit DHer, amongst the likes of Dave Hemming, Rob Warner et al in the early years of DH racing. Read his bio on the JMC website, the guy was Olympic standard not only in XC and DH but also BMX and even track. You don't get sponsored by Specialized unless you can show talent...

Anne Caro is hardly a character, though! Great rider, nice girl but not exactly full of character! 😉

Missi "The Missile" Giove (DH for Yeti in mid 90's), wore her dried pet pirahna around her neck for luck..IIRC it was called Gonzo.

i wouldn't really say the athertons are fantastical mtb characters, though it's very unusual to misjudge by that much.
