There Was also Gary Ford who rode I think for Scott at the time. He and a David Baker came down to ride with our old club at Epping Forest Years ago....we had a great day ..great guys. I always remember Barry Clarke being a really friendly guy too..
Scott Dommett?
Zak Tempest? 😛
Jason Shackleton was a decent downhiller BITD
The lad who rode downhill for Fat Chance was never as good as he believed.
There was some handy Tim Flooks wurzel riding for GT. Wonder what became of him?

POSTED 1 HOUR AGO # REPORT-POST
I sat in the kitchen at a house party with Jez, his girlfriend was at art school with me.

Do you mean Jake Eliot?
Tim Davies pops up on retrobike.co.uk from time to time.
I had my Alpinestars bike signed by Mike Kloser at one of the early 90's Malverns (go mullets! :p ), think he ended up doing Iditarod stuff didn't he?
Whilst we're being nostalgic did anyone else wipe out in the bombhole in the Malverns? At least I got a round of applause :p
Oh and what happened to the Mammoth Kamikazee DH race?
Mike Kloser is a multiple world champ adventure racer.
Barry still races the 3 Peaks CX and is damn fast. I had a happy moment when I found myself sat on his wheel.
Jez is still doing bike shows.
Probably dont need to look too far for Zak, eh Brant? Brings it right back... those were indeed the days.

I think his first name was Elwyn, but can't remember his surname. I'm talking 1992. Don't recall seeing him in 1993, I'd remember the tantrums.

Love you...
Elwyn Roberts!!! What a complete bellend he was
So was Chris Kay!
Gary Foooooord was my boss before I came over to Canada.
I once owned Tim Goulds Oakley Factory Pilots. I'm sure he remembers selling them to me LOLWTF.
who was that chick who had long hair tied in a plait down her back (and a smashing bottom)?
Tim Gould was my main inspiration to take up MTBing. As well as being a world class racer he always seemed like a really nice bloke. 🙂
Helen Mortimer 🙂
Leigh donavon ......think she rode for KHS, what a fox!
greg herbold
henrik djernis
Jake earthquake watson ( i think)
Tim gould rode the world hilclimb champs at mammoth and won it on his peugeot
Helen Mortimer works for the BCF.

Helen Mortimer works for the BCF.
Not quite, she works for Team Sky although I'm not sure what her actual job title is.
Scott Dommett was in my LBS a few months ago, got chatting to the owner who said he recognised him from somewhere. SD said something about being in a video once. 😉 Can't remember what he's doing now though, I'll ask the LBS owner.
Sian Roberts post CyB?
Oh and the old CyB waiter guy who was ALWAYS grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst delivering food to tables at warp speed to reggae music was (a few years ago) monitoring wildlife in the CyB area, voles or bats iirc. That dude deserves a medal for chronically keeping the vibe alive.
Cindy Devine - used to ride DH for Kona ?
Darren Tapp once lent me a go on his GT Xizang LE so is alright in my book
Jamie Hibberd?
The Crane brothers?
Caroline Alexander overtook me at Eastridge, must've been about 1993. I was racing, she was just on her warm up lap, and despite having a massive crush on her, I didn't have the legs to catch her up.
I take it you don't have a telly then qwerty?

Adele Croxon, now Mrs Croxon Peat?
I seem to recall the cycling coverage in the Matlock Mercury over the winter mentioned some "Goulds" in the junior events - presumably the next part of the dynasty coming through.....
Tim's and Julian's (Tim's brother) kids race cyclocross fairly regularly throughout the winter.
Tim Davies was at Mayhem last year and did at least one lap on a Ti-Mega 🙂
I take it you don't have a telly then qwerty?
Izzat Sharki wiv hair n specs, innit?
I loved Caroline Alexander so much I did a painting of her for my A-level art course! 😳 Still hanging in my mum and dads hallway!
Found an old cycling weekly from 92 and was weird to see a whole race report for an XC race with pic's of Tim Gould, David Baker, Chris Young and Caroline.

ace.
I wish I still had this mag...I even remember the sub 20lb bike they built

Edit: Holy crap!!! 20 years ago!!!
I remember one of the first races that Tim Gould and David Baker turned up to near Peebles. We were just random riders. They turned up in skin suits and utterly thrashed everyone. Racing changed forever that day.
I wrote to Caroline Alexander (via MBI)when I was about 14-15 asking what she thought of her Girvin suspension forks, she actually replied with a really lovely letter, I think that's a sign of a pretty cool pro.
I also spoke to Scott Dommett at the Strathpeffer world cup in 1992, my dad got chatting to him and Scott came over to say hello to me.
My dad always wondered if Dave Hemming was the son of his best friend when he was a child, as Dave looked so like his friend and would have been about the right age. Unlikely and never got to meet Dave to find out but always wondered.
I am realising I was, still am, a real geek!

Rock Shox Mag 21 Ti forks on a Raleigh DynaTech. Top end drool in 1992! MBi was a great mag when it was all about the racing scene. Then it went all DH (let's go to the Alps and test another £8000 DH bike!) and became bollocks and even a relaunch and new editor couldn't save it after that. 🙁
Scott Dommett is apparently in the process of renovating a house in the Peak District - bit of a handyman by all accounts. Doesn't really ride much anymore.
Yeah it's a shame MBI went all wrong, was a mountain bike magazine that really focused on racing.
