So disappointed that Ton’s favourite pie isn’t “Fist”

Woeful missed opportunity there 😢

Made me smile that article. (well, apart from the inclusion of the one who seems to have disappeared again, anyway.)

I did find the article interesting.  After too many years of too many hours spent on the forum it brings home just what a different perspective you can get depending on what threads you tend to click on.  Given that I’d never thought of the term ‘big hitter’ as being used in an exactly flattering way I was a little surprised by some of the selection but not by a couple of others 😀. One name I barely recollect seeing in the forum?

that + disappointed Molgrips picture wasn’t ‘Captain America’ 😱

Bugger.

Something else on my “to do” list now 😜

I assumed mods were deliberately not included?

Deep cover

scotroutes – mentioned but not interviewed/pictured (thankfully, probably 😉 )

Haha I liked that bit of the issue..

Bloody Hell! You see where my personality issues lie when I though it was for the Web site, I never thought my ugly mug would be gracing the 20th anniversary mag!

To paraphrase Captain Malcolm Reynolds, I’m just too pretty for the mag.

+1 😀 😀 😀

Hey! I took that picture of molgrips! 😎

How did they curate that list? It made for a fun read. What about more forum members from time to time?

The only thing I don’t like about it is that I don’t have a dropper on that bike so it looks like I don’t know how to get low.

Maybe you’ll make it for the 40th anniversary edition.

It was a great article. enjoyed it.

I would say ‘you and me both’, but I’m far too neurotic to be counted among the big hitters.

Did you read my page? I don’t think you need to worry 😉

It’s good to see the mag recognising the forum a bit more again. This is the life of STW for me.

(Hi hannah)

How did they curate that list?

Staff asked Moderators for suggestions then they shortlisted from there (plus maybe added their own, I’m not sure, I’ve not read it yet so I don’t know who’s on).

Where’s hora?

Still not received this months magazine, shaking with anticipation now though… 🤪

PDF version’s been on the site for nearly a week.

I noticed that tj was riding off road without a helmet and not one of you big hitters seemed to be wearing hi-viz. I didn’t think that projected a very responsible image of our sport. As clear big-hitting influencers I think you should have set a better example. 😉

Haven’t read it all yet but its nice to put some faces to the personalities (it’ll make stalking you easier).

Wasn’t there a member photo thread many years ago?

It’s a disc race.

Just read it. That was a great read, thanks to all who contributed.

Well I’m at a sanctioned trail centre so I’m well away from any risks. I’m also riding a niche bike though to show that I’m a cut above the average MTBer.

That may be the case but that’s not what I pay a subscription for, I like and pay for a proper paper magazine 🤔

There’s been many over the years, yes.

Can’t hurt to have another if you feel so inclined, it’s been a while.

Of course.

Love that photo. Everything about it screams… ‘bikes free you’.

There’s a magazine?

Where’s hora?

I’ve got him locked in the cellar, Fritzl stylee

I thought he was locked in Father Jack’s underwear hamper with Bishop Brennan’s assistant?

I’ve not had my copy arrive yet so I’ve not seen it! And I’d also forgotten that I’d written it since I’m currently trying to wrangle something together for the next issue while pretending to be on holiday. Glad you enjoyed the Big Hitters, there were so many people I could have put in, it was tough to narrow it down to just a few. Interesting to discover a few who didn’t want to break cover too!

In my experience, people are usually more interesting than bikes, but the bikes are the ice breaker. It was fun to find out a bit more about some of you. Thanks for being here.

Hannah, I’ve emailed you. Who let you have a holiday?

Thanks for doing it Hannah! Was fun to do

You’re a lot skinnier than I’d pictured you 😉😁.

Nice article Hannah!

What I’d like to know is; is there a reason half my pages are upside down, is this some cool new magazine thing I’ve missed or have the printers **** it up?

There’s a new forum for people like you to ask that. 😁
