There was Paul Lasenby who rode for Marin.

Last saw him in a race I was in two? years back.

Thats got to be the first year I went. Any vids anywhere of Malverns 90/91? Cant seem to find any.

I took my son to a stunt show last year and Jez Avery was running it, it was quite cheesy.

I worked as a summer boy in a bike shop in Morpeth with Jez Avery. I soon learnt never to loan him my bike. He could trash them very quickly.

What about Tim Davies, who used to ride for Alpinestars? I remember him giving me some words of encouragement during a race, as he passed me doing his warm-up (I think). That was in 1991, so he made an impression!

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?

The best tache in the business

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.

The lad who rode downhill for Fat Chance was never as good as he believed.

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.

The lad who rode downhill for Fat Chance was never as good as he believed.

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.

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. 🙂

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?
