David started mountain biking in the 90’s, by which he means “Ineptly jumping a Saracen Kili Racer off anything available in a nearby industrial estate”. After growing up and living in some extremely flat places, David moved to Yorkshire specifically for the mountain biking. This felt like a horrible mistake at first, because the hills are so steep, but you get used to them pretty quickly.
Previously, David trifled with road and BMX, but mountain bikes always won. He’s most at peace battering down a rough trail, quietly fixing everything that does to a bike, or trying to figure out if that one click of compression damping has made things marginally better or worse. The inept jumping continues to this day.

Can any helicopter pilots tell me what the finger trigger does on the stick? Please tell me it’s for the missile launchers…
Health Warning – am not a heli-chopter pilot. However I’ve got to say that trigger thingy is more than likely a radio switch…Apologies all round (for aeronautical inaccuracies, and for any smashing of editorial dreams).
