The whole thing was pretty hefty, but when you saw Steve B ride you wouldn't have thought so.....the guy flew! He took some great lines down the old school Carlton course on that, instead of following the track he just rode down the steep hillside, and as it wasn't taped off he wasn't breaking any rules!

 Love this

 Rest his soul.

 Nice to see they still make frames out of coke cans....!!

 Angiepopples!

 Nick Turner airborn!

 ooooh crikey, maybe 1998-ish. Best to ask Fionn, do a search to find out when she rode for GT UK.

 Still up north, he's more into cars these days I think........more or less disappeared from the bike scene from what I understand.

 Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it's a lard arse - huzzah!

 I reckon you should get that stripped and powder coated in neon orange - ask James to contact Gil on Retrobike for new decals and the job's a good 'un!

 Kermit!

 He's still greatly missed Sophie, give my love to your mum. Lee (that deaf guy) x

 It's a Mr Big Racing frame, it's a home made one, made in the back of a garage under the railway lines at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK.

 You might be right!

 Why thank you, you may be happy to learn that it goes like the absolute clappers as well

 We're all running ours as full bore DH steeds, might be worth dropping Frank Wadelton an email to query.

 Holy cow!

 I hope you burned that coat James! And my god the shorts too!

 Ahhhh, the good old days

 All I can remember was blasting around Aberdeen in the evenings on the M1's...... it was a while ago and I'm out of the loop!

 Phew

 I hope James saw enough sense to burn those shorts!

 Marc got the first VR1 in the UK, I got it imported over when we signed with them.

 I don't think it's Ed as he was a lanky as hell (sorry Ed if you're reading this!! , could be James Richards mind you.

 Cheers Trev, now corrected

 Thanks Stu, now edited

 It's at Dalby Forest Dale.

 Yep Judy Dh up front and the Kooka's - they didn't last very long. Kooka are notorious for snapping, they were soon swapped for Race Face Turbines!

 Huzzah - now corrected....

 Always said he was a nutter!!

 Ross hitting the step down on my old M1 ROCK ON!!!!

 Carlton Bank, in those days, was a great course for hardtail riding and it was a damn sight easier to push back up to the top than with the Intense M1's the team were on at the time!! *GOOD TIMES*
