StuntMan_Stan Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi everybody, Some of you may remember me from a few years back? I disappeared from the sport at the beginning of 2008 to concentrate on building a career and other grown up stuff. I have just spent a year travelling the world and I realised I really missed riding my bike. I now live in Leeds and I am really looking forward to familiarising myself with all the amazing natural spots to ride. Over the years I collected various video clips and photos. At the time I decided these weren’t good enough to make a video with, however in 2008 I began making this video but never got around to finishing it. Upon return from my travels I decided to finish my trip down memory lane. I have posted it on the web because I feel it tells a story and captures a period in the history of the sport. Some of the older riders amongst you may recognise competition footage and the shocking fashions! So I am now riding again for fun, in an out of section style. If anyone out there wants to ride in Leeds / natural in Yorkshire let me know. It’s about 10 minutes long so get comfy and it’s my first ever video so don’t be too critical with your comments.
