Back in 2003 4X racing was big news. It was fresh and new, and with its elbow-to-elbow dogfights it inspired flashbacks to the early days of BMX racing.

In 2006, Hans Rey and Steve Peat did a weeklong campervan trip around Ireland, visiting 30 pubs and also doing a bit of bike riding. Hans had seen photos of the famous Cliffs of Moher that stand 200 metres over the Atlantic on the west of Ireland. He wanted to ride the small rocky ledge with a rock wall to one side and an empty void to the other; in places, there was less than eight inches for a wheel to roll along. The consequences of a mistake were about as serious as it gets. I was pretty scared of the idea, but Hans was 100% confident that he could do it safely and Steve was comfortable on the wider section behind. I was very happy to pull my head back in from the cliff edge when it was done.

As Boris didn’t have any clients to shoot for, he had the freedom just to play around, so he used the 35mm and hid far away from the jumps. It turned out that he captured this striking silhouette of Kade’s unique style.

In Val di Sole 2008 Sam Hill was on fire, 10sec ahead when he launched off the ski jump into the finish arena. Moments later he was on the ground scrambling to get himself to the finish line.

When most people had already left the pits, we stayed around and had a beer with the riders. Then we just saw those two chatting in the sunset.

Gwin was incredibly precise in his riding — he even grazed the wall with his shoulder. That’s what World Cup racing in a traditional Croatian village combined with the riding of Aaron Gwin looks like.
