Just seen this, lots of "retro" British Downhill legends will be racing at the last round of the BDS in memory of Jason Mcroy, some real blasts from the past in amongst them, take a look!

Quite a few of my old mates (& race rivals!) in that line up, tempted to go and watch to see how they get on!

Re:

Great idea. Would love to see Dave Hemming race a SAB and the rest on period bikes too.

Re:

Looks like Will Longden will be riding a 95 era bike and Peaty and Warner will get hammered the night before so should be period correct.

Just one of the reasons I prefer Mtb over road riding

Re:

I have pretty much exactly the same photo.

I ended up spending quite a bit of time chatting to the spesh guys regarding the quirks of JMC's bikes, I have a couple of close ups that I can post later, My favourite is the soldered spokes for a stronger wheel..........

Despite the weather it was a great day and to see all those old faces again, bought back some great memories from bitd Chatting to Rob he suggested he may try and make it an annual gathering or maybe he was just feeling all nostalgic and it'll be another decade
