About Me
Mountain biking since 1996 when I bought one to commute to work in London and started seeking out the interesting ways home.

First 'proper' bike (GT Zaskar with XT and Judy XCs) bought with student loan in 1997

Started reading Dirt magazine, riding street and jumps - bought one of the first Orange MsIsles from the bike shop I was 'working' at in 1998

Job: Digital Product Design Lead (web, apps, desktop etc)

If only all of the Festers were sponsored by Box. I'd love to see all of their stories. Well done Box.

They gave Kirt all the skills. It's not fair.

Thredbo dirt for the win! I remember boosting a 19 year old Gravesy back in through a window of the Schuss Bar at Thredbo when he got kicked out for being too wasted at a national round after party. Legend!

Going by the comments, sounds like it could be a 29er unless Bruni just trolling Luca Shaw "loicbruni29 @luca_shaw I'll tell you the fast 29 lines"

Like this Using these http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/bbb-parking-hook-storage-hook-btl26/rp-prod60754 Ground anchors in the floor, chains through the rear triangle. I always store the bikes with dropper posts fully extended, whichever way up they are. Only about 50cm between hooks, just try and alternate types of bike (road, trail, xc) so the differing geometry and bar width avoids them clashing with each other.

Another vote for the Scout - never seen or heard of Framed bikes before (presume they are US only). Nukeproof are obviously proven on the world stage under some extremely fast riders, and I know of several fast guys local to me who have a choice of bikes and love their Scouts - great spec, well designed.

Hey Vital guys I'd be surprised if I was the first to suggest this but I'm too lazy to search the forums... Just seeing you promote the Product section on the front page and having submitted a bike check the other day made me wonder - why aren't those things linked? Based on the autosuggest function here's obviously some kind...

That was, by far, one of the best pieces I've watched in a long time. Cut Media at it again, and Matt raising the bar!

Looked up T.H.E. while listening (just before the part where he discusses selling it off) just to see what's what over there [spoiler: not much, he wasn't joking]...but, the fenders are going for $7 right now. Guess what's in the mail? On a different note, what a cool story, quite the hustle and drive! Really interesting to learn about how much he was involved in product development and innovation early on.

Another awesome podcast. I was Toby's mechanic in 1993, Team Iron Horse (Toby, Bernie U, SHandro, Penny Davidson, Leigh Donovan and Mark Gullickson for XC) and Toby was always into product development, making things look or tick a bit better-and we had some fun. Funny side note on his talking about the birth of the fenders in 1998 Big Bear, the snow race, Leigh Donovan won that DH by almost 20 seconds, which was the largest winning margin of a NORBA national-and having that THE fender on was part of the magic! Nice work Vital/Spomer/Toby
