Would you let the brilliant mountain biker Danny Macaskill look after your kid for the day?

Jeez, tag your porn
I really wanted one of those back in the day. Not a young Kate Moss in a bikini but the Manitou FS bike. Something you never saw for real, just in magazines (so they have that in common). I only ever got the front forks, which still work 30 years later. Now I’d probably go for the Kate Moss; she isn’t prone to irreparable cracking of the bottom bracket tube. As far as I know anyway.

I’ve been a mountain biker for a long long time, but don’t have many photos. Was digging through old prints and found these tho, from ~20 years ago. Brings back good memories, got some props from my son, and it feels good to know my skills have improved since then.
Remembered today that there are some decades-old pics of me on Pinkbike, so took a stroll down memory lane - “urban assault” lol at the University of Alberta and downtown Edmonton, racing at the Outdoor Adventure Show, and a little huck that left me with a broken collarbone and fuzzy memory of an awkward small-town Thanksgiving dinner with a friend’s family while doped up on painkillers after the ER and waiting for my understandably unimpressed father to pick me up 😂
Spoiled myself with an online order from the Chromag clearance section 🧢 🚵🏻
My 8 year old son’s been enjoying going to the skatepark recently, and I’ve been having a blast trading off between my bike, board, and a scooter too. After filming him, he took my phone and filmed a quick line of me. The line isn’t much and his thumb’s in the frame of the vid, but I cropped a few stills. Figured it might be nice to have some more recent pics doing this thing I love. Also, I absolutely 😻 my “new” (second-hand) Banshee Amp dirt jumper!
One more throwback MTB pic, courtesy of my good friend Rob circa 2001 from one of our many street sessions by the UBC clocktower.
