[Closed] Know or seen any celebs that mtb ????

I know Mark Webber does, not that I've met him 🙂

Remember seeing David Coulthard training around Cap D'ail outside Monaco on the TV. Think a few F1 drivers do.

I recently bought an inner tube from a bike shop and was served by Paula Pezzo if that counts. Also used to see Mike Edwards of Jesus Jones fame regularly at the SAMS races back in the day.

ride with chris walker(motorbike racer) on the odd occasion when he's in the pines

I heard a story that Robbie Williams bought two very expensive MTBs (Scott Genius LTD - 2009) from a bike shop in Wiltshire.

overtake Nick Craig at MM....correction, being overtaken by Nick Craig at MM.

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) is really into his mountain biking, and apparently one of the reasons he's not relapsed into drug addiction again.

John Squire is/was.

Broke his arm doing it and the Stones Roses missed healdining glastonbury because of it. Pulp stepped if i'm right. Theres an old picture of him somewhere in a yeti top.

Does Nicole Kidman count?

Former England & Leicester Rugby Captain Martin Corry - saw him interviewed yesterday for the Skyride thingmy.

Page Hamilton from the band Helmet rides. Annoyingly, they delayed a UK tour when he broke his collar bone a few years back.

Timmy Connerford of RATM is, in fact i think he is in next month's MBUK.

Somewhere in the "I'd like to thank everybody" list at the back of the first Audioslave album, he thanks Shimano XTR.....

Also MCA from the Beastie Boys used to have a stake in Brooklyn Machine Works, and then Pharell Williams bought him out of it.

[url= http://www.popsugar.com/home?page=84#post_3546346 ]Orlando Bloom (not sure on the bike but it looks like a blingy full-sus)[/url]

I'll vouch for the Robbie Williams story, but dont know what bikes were bought, was in heat mag apparently. Shop was red planet bikes in swindon.

doesn't Lance Armstrong ride MTB?

Bloom is on an Ibis mojo i think...

that woman off "How Clean is Your House?" rides an Inbred.
John Squire too.
Roy Keane I think.

just to clarify, Squire and Keane don't ride Inbreds. Well they might do, but maybe not.

Keith Flint of The Prodigy rides a Kinesis XC Pro 2.Its on their website.

Martina Navratilova bought two ibis ti mojos back in the 90's .. well thats the reply i got from ibis at the time, when I asked what to use the hand job brake bit for now that Vees were everywhere, they said Martina puts little toy tennis rackets in hers.

oh in the pilot show of Nathan Barley he as a white inbred hanging up over his stairs. Excellent props person 😉

TV presenter Steve Wilson bought a Prince Albert.

I passed eli from emmerdale once when i was out round rivvy.
Please note i had no idea who he was my gf at the time told me it was him.

Saw Geoff Thomas at 24/12.

Greame LeSaux did MM one year with a load of his mates and Kate Grumble has an Inbred IIRC.

an scottish rugby player rides at glentress cant remember his name, also one of the members from the happy Mondays gave up the old persian rugs and took up the bike

Orlando Bloom and his friend were on matching Mojos with Talas 32s by the look of things.

oldagedpredator i'd forgotten that. Robbie williams had a pashley TV series trials bike at one point.

Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) is really into his mountain biking, and apparently one of the reasons he's not relapsed into drug addiction again.

That genuinely surprised me!

I remember Ainsley Harriot (sp!?) getting special dispensation to ride down Kilimanjaro - he wasn't half bad either IIRC...

Dr Alice Roberts from 'Coast' Seen a pic of her on a Trek I think...she was interviewed for that online bike mag (Shred?)

GWB?

He was even given a carbon hardtail as an official present by the (also MTBing) president of Slovenia - [url= http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/george-w-bush-receives-slovenian-mountain-bike-16944 ]linky[/url]

I bumped into Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall riding around Richmond Park on their mtbs a while back (come to think of it, it was over 10 years ago!)

When I did a stint at Harrods in the bike dept, the guy who plays the Butler (Geoffrey) in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air came in and had a chat about bikes - turns out he's a keen cyclist (road and mtb)

My wife is friends with Mark Richardson (OK, he's my friend a bit too) and he rides a Stumpy. I've offered to show him some stuff around Woking which is where he lives.

But which Mark is he?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Richardson

Bloke from the Chemical Brothers (Tom/Tim?) rides in Friston Forest quite a bit. Had an Intense Spider.

Jemimha Khan started riding in Epping Forest a couple of months ago since she and Hugh Grant moved to Chingford. Rides a Trek 6800 hardtail I think. Hugh plays golf at Loughton for those who care....

The man in g-rey - the original mountain biking celebrity - group ride on Cannock Chase last year:

Seen Jeremy Paxman off road on a bike.

Christ-on-a-bike jalopy, who's the mutant on the right?!!!

As mentioned, Greame LeSaux. He was at the Shimano tech stand at MM getting his Titus sorted while I was waiting. Soon as he left after nattering for ages, the Shimano guy says to me, sorry we're closing for lunch. Yeah cheers.

jalopy no-way 8)

Robson Greene on Downs Link last year.

NikNak, d'you mean the long streak of pi55 - erm, tis I... looking particularly pin-headed and sporting a helmet-induced mullet. Freak bike too, you'll notice.

I did once do a Chilterns ride with Hunter the Gladiator, about the time he was linked to ulrik-ka-ka I think...

Keith Flint is a bit jey no way I would have guess that. I would think he was some DJer.

Keith's favourite MTB apparently

The man has great taste in bikes!

Daniel Beddingfield does.

Didn't Roy keane and a load from sunderland fc do a team building weeknds riding last year...sure some of them loved it and have taken it up.

Dr Alice Roberts from 'Coast'

And that annoying bloke with a rolled-up umbrella in his backpack is a former national CX champion, is he not?

Schweet! Rage are one of my fave bands, like em even more now 😀

Haha classic

"Actually, I haven't heard from Lance in a while," Commerford says. "Maybe it's because if you're friends with George Bush, you're not allowed to ride with the bass player from Rage Against the Machine!"

Sean Ryder. Call the cops.....

And that annoying bloke with a rolled-up umbrella in his backpack is a former national CX champion, is he not?

Yonks and yonks ago I had a fairly lengthy chat with Andrew Lincoln (Egg) and he was well into it. Big Kona fan at the time. Judging by the way he rode the Halfords special in series one of Teachers I'd say he was still biking.

According to that Dexter Holland from the Offspring flies an old Russian jet fighter!

Unfortunately I think that fact is better than the Offspring.
