In 2002, Steve Peat finally won the World Cup Downhill series; the celebrations after the last round in Les Gets were legendary. Fast forward four weeks and I found myself at the Interbike trade show in Las Vegas and who should show up? Steve Peat.
I needed a cover shot for Dirt Mag, something a bit different to just a standard race photo. We hatched a plan and ended up driving out to some random spot in the desert to a big, drifty, sweeping corner at the side of the road. I shot a couple of rolls of film, Peaty happy to keep going to get the shot. Of course, there was no checking on whether you’d got the shot back then, you either had it or you didn’t. I shot on a 200mm lens for a while and then switched to the fisheye with a bit of flash. We ended up using the long shot on the cover of Dirt #36, but I kind of think I like this ‘in your face’ version more now.
After the shoot we carried on driving out to Utah for the Red Bull Rampage — two big blokes crammed into a tiny sports car with a bike in the back! That was the second year of Rampage and Steve managed to qualify for the main event, but he decided to miss the finals and instead head back to Vegas to watch the Supercross. Ha. Forever the pro!

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.

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.

The Welsh Dragon downhill race series really seized the moment, setting the bar pretty high, showing that there was real terrain and big mountains on which to host races in UK.

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.
