Inspired by Fred's Obi_Wan emails….

Its a long but interesting story, everyone who hears it laughs uncontrolably and ends up smiling for days, sometimes even weeks. I will have to tell it you some day.

Always like the retro component brand name of nukeproof back when I started mountain biking as a teenager even if their carbon hubs weren't overly reliable, not that I could afford them anyway….got the username way before nukeproof rose again as a brand and, when it did, I cut it short to nuke.

My parents named me Derek, but always called me Dez. Surname begins with B.
Stems from when I signed up to AOL years ago (duh, 1999) and needed a unique name – so dezb99. Dropped the 99 as STW was easier to find a unique name on.
Quite simple really so surprised I managed to drag this post out so long. I did think of a good username for my mate who signed up – Donkey Puncture – you know after Donkey Punch and a common mtb problem for those who don't run tubeless…

I taught my son that joke only yesterday 🙂

I have a fantastic 'tache.

my first name is Adam and my surname begins with G, but for some reason I couldn't get that user name approved…? Before my time, possibly.
