Steve Peat - Last Orders

[joshleb]

End of an era now he's finally hung up his gloves from WC DH, but great vid from the last 2 years, and looks like more to come!

Last Orders

Don't think next season will be the same without Peaty, Rat boy and Stevie Smith!

i must have first heard about him over 20yrs ago. Flipping heck that is some pro innings

Exactly, when I was first into MTB in my mid teens Steve Peat was the man. I got back into MTB in my 30's and he was still on the world cup circuit!

I may have shed a tear when he won at the Worlds a few years back. He was 'our' DH champ and one I'd followed through years and years since reading MBUK in the mid 90s.

I'm a face in the crowd when he's outside Sheffield Town Hall in this

Eh? No Ratboy??? What's the story there?

Doesn't like his carbon footprint

Worth a watch, good little series. I've also grown up with Steve as a bit of a Hero.

A few years back, I graduated from Sheffield Hallam. At every ceremony a few people get honorary doctorates. I rest very getting the documents through for my ceremony and couldn't believe who was going to be there on the same day getting a doctorate for services to sport in Sheffield!
Sat and had a beer and a chat with him, top bloke, humble, deserves far more recognition than he gets for inspiring kids in putting back into the sport.
