Brian Vernor is one of those people. He doesn’t just love mountain biking, he loves cycling and all it stands for full stop. 2007-09-19T08:57:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/brian http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/endtroducing-dan-brown I’ve known Dan Brown for a long time. From drinking Stella’s loaded with Lemsip with Peaty in the Corner House in Innerleithen, to testing bikes for the mag, racing, dirt jumping, running a shop…he has mountainbiking running through his veins. Having said that he did have an early mid life crisis when he moved to the South West and thought that he was going to be a surfer! He saw the light and is now working as the road manager for the Atherton Racing team. 2007-03-28T09:01:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/endtroducing-dan-brown http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/endtroducing-elmar-keineke Elmar Keineke is a talented and busy man. He is a racer (he has just taken third place in the Masters 2 category at the European Championships), team manager and is the mountain bike Marketing Manager for SRAM Europe…so he’s pretty busy then. And he’s been around forever (well it seems that way), and of course is a super cool guy. 2007-03-26T10:45:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/endtroducing-elmar-keineke http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-duncan-riffles-honda-iron-horse For Duncan Riffle bike set up is all important. For many racers they just ‘run it’ but Riffle is meticulous in his choices and preparation. Riding for the Honda Iron Horse team this year he has been able to travel the globe racing the World Cup series, taking in places such as Europe and South America. He has also recently taken the US DH National title for a second time. He is focussed, professional and dedicated. He is 100% racerhead. 2007-03-23T11:00:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-duncan-riffles-honda-iron-horse http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-ashley-mullanes-cove-peeler No one gets more DH race mileage out a bike than Ashley, so it’s good that this thing is up to the job. It is like the cod from his local chippy, battered on the outside but chunky and fresh on the inside, with no bones 2007-03-23T10:07:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-ashley-mullanes-cove-peeler http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/disc-doctor-redraven Twenty-four year old Jonathan Knight is the main man behind Belfast based brake upgrade company Redraven. They make an upgrade kit for your existing brakes that includes mounting brackets and huge 230mm discs! We wanted to have a word and ask Johnny a few questions about Redraven, so we fired him over a quick email to find out more. 2007-03-23T09:06:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/disc-doctor-redraven http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/greg-minaar G-Cross Honda rider Greg Minnaar has been riding to near perfection this year. Whilst his main rivals have either fallen by the wayside with injuries or have just not been fast enough Greg has raced steadily and confidently on his way to World Cup victory. 2007-03-23T08:38:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/greg-minaar http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/raincheck-andrew-shandro-helly-hanson We reported last issue that Freerider Andrew Shandro has recently hooked up a deal with outdoor performance clothing giant Helly Hansen (HH), in what many see as a partnership made in heaven, that will benefit both parties greatly. I wanted to find out a little more about their plans, what kind of products they were working on and what involvement Shandro would have. 2007-03-22T15:30:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/raincheck-andrew-shandro-helly-hanson http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/russel-carty Russell Carty is 27 and is living the life, based for the last two years in Monaco working as the European Media Relations Director for Kona and travelling the world as the Team Manager for the Kona Les Gets Factory Team. 2007-03-22T11:09:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/russel-carty http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/film-capture-klunkerz-billy-savage You know my roots aren’t really in mountainbiking. Like almost everyone else my age (mid 30’s) there was no such thing as a ‘mountain bike’ when I was a kid. You rode whatever you had…racers with cow horns, trackers, Raleigh Commandos, Grifters, in fact any old bike... 2007-03-21T12:09:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/film-capture-klunkerz-billy-savage http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-darren-berrecloth Darren Berrecloth is widely regarded as the number one Freerider in the world. Whether it is in competition or shooting with a camera crew, he throws down the biggest and most technical moves with skill, confidence and style. 2007-03-21T11:59:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/pro-bike-darren-berrecloth http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/mike-smith We catch up with Mike Smith on life, work, attitudes and ofcourse - his ride... 2007-02-23T10:29:00+00:00 http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/interviews/mike-smith
