Whatever happened to . . . . . former STW'ers

Always been Ambrose, always will be that name too if I can. Lurked for a long time. When MTB-Wales slowed down spent more and more time here. Met a few people off this site, all seem to be decent upstanding citizens whom I'd invite home for tea. Not met a single psycho yet. I'm sure that it will happen eventually though.

Anyone for a bothy trip next weekend? Details on MTB-Wales.com .

he never failed to live up to expectation….

Dave not sure I'm on that pic think I did a ride with coogle and Benji across the moors.

2004 for me,just about the time pedalthread arrived with his twine travel measurement system.And that sheepish looking chap pumping the penguin(fnarr)was the funniest thread,next to picolax natch, I can remember.

2002 for me i think. i was cats-mark back then.

Haven't heard from these guys in an age, however I've only recently been back to the forum.

salsaboy still rides a bit, he's still a miserable c**t too 🙂

Have any passed away? Don't forget sometimes a fellow rider would note to others however how would we know if one of us did go? Disappear forever.

chemo died

Here are some more:

The Hood
Taz
Millwall Gaz

I used to be Hora. If that helps anyone? 😆

hora – help someone is something you've never done

2002 me been off the forum for a few years tho

+1 houns, bring back the humor !

The good old days, when you didn't need an account to post- just post as anon. Not sure how that'd go down now, mind.

poet, now admanmatt, selling advertising on this here site
JonWIII (sexmidget?) – saw his name on a couple of reviews in the mag.

Keep hoping I can find the enthusiasm to start getting out more and meet some new folk to ride with. I mean… living in the Lakes now it shouldn't be that hard should it?

(sometimes I miss Stirling)

Hey Rob, I hope everything has settled down for you. We all miss you as well!

B. 8)

my 2 fav threads of all time were "42 flexing and posing" and "Badger blowing things up". In both cases the person on the receiving end seemed frustrated almost to the point of tears.

I know that shouldn't be so amusing, but it was 🙂

I also miss the anon function. Maybe we could have a friday confessions (anon) just for one day????????????

Numplumz used to be a regular. Not herad from him in ages.

*waves back at MrMW*

Been here since 2001 as me, not a great poster but a huge lurker. And huge waster or work bandwidth!

Numplumz – jack is still riding by the looks of it, not seen him since D2D a few years ago

I've been oldgit since I was young. dunno when I started, I know it was when issue 1 came out.

What was the name of that singlespeed collective back then, singlespeed jihad?

it's along time since the stw weekends at pat's B&B in Betws (he's still on here as raindog).

don't think he's ever forgiven chipps for leaving glass marks on his coffee table by melting the varnish with cask strength whisky

I remember SSP – singlespeedpunk

2003 for me..

Either as BigNick or as I am now…

Didn't realise that "Fit it with a rock" actually had provenance

I think fitting things with a rock was from a thread about the warranty on superstar cranks, was it not? Someone'd got very aerated about his cranks not fitting, and had been forced to smash them on with a rock the morning of a race.. and then fruit had complained that fitting with a rock invalidated the warranty…

The rock fittign thing was LukeB posting here under an alias and beign caught out.

that's the whole reason my user name's always been GW, couldn't be arsed typing anything longer than my initials in.
2000 or 2001 for me

Fat Tyre festival at Coed Y Brenin, which I think was 2003 was a good laugh.

The only Ye Olde STW meet up I went to was HamsterFest, at Hamsterley Forest in the very early days of the site. Andy Armstrong was there, plus TomL. Anyone else go?

Hope Darren doesn't mind me posting his image. 3rd or 4th Woburn STW meet. We had to split up into two groups for this one this was the 'core' group?

Just noticed, everyones a bit camera shy 😕

i'm in that somewhere

Core to the Frickin max baby. Check that hair out!

I'm RHS. I still float around like a turd that can't be flushed away.

"I mean… living in the Lakes now it shouldn't be that hard should it?"

Rob, where abouts in the lakes are you?

I've been here since 03 under various guises…

Hora's not changed his name for a while.

I used to look forward to his name changes. I could then bet on how many seconds it would take for everyone to work out it was him

lol back in those days i used tro post as ssslllooowww, I remember snakebite and scruff and a couple of us offering to meet a few off here and show them aroung Cannock chase, the few turned into a group of over a hundred………

SeaLoin was hora's "this is a troll" name.

I was usurped by an interloper

I used to lurk in the GoFar days and signed up just after it changed to STW. No idea when it was.

Badgerboy, he has gone too, but then he never posted much anyway (so that's a waste of time ten!)
