Steve Peat Syndicate: Josh Lewis & Billy Matthews video

Sep 9, 2010
by Sam Oakes  
SPS team riders Josh Lewis and Billy Matthews recently contacted me about filming a short video on their local trails in Wharncliffe woods.

The video can be found inside...After meeting up with the lads we went and shot at Wharncliffe Crags, an area which has had very little film exposure before. After hitting up the rocky track we headed down into the woods to the more popular downhill trails. Josh and Billy were awesome to film with and their enthusiasm is endless, training hard thanks to Steve's help they will definitely be ones to watch next season.

 Here's a tip - when being filmed, look into the camera, stop fidgeting and picking your toes and keep still. Stop mumbling, speak clearly. To the viewer you don't look interested. Would've expected you to wear a full face on that upper rocky section, set an example and look after yourselves. Good shredding. The young kid looks like he's on glue or something, was kinda funny.

 WoW ....toomuch jealousy n hatred building here guys. Just appreciate the fine young talent. Was good riding and entertaining to watch. No harm was done to the trail or the environment. Well done lads ...nice riding!

 If anything demonstrates that Steve Peat deserves and MBE, it's vids like this. He's achieved so much in his career and his passion for riding has brought through and is still bringing through so many riders. Ok, so these kind of awards don't mean as much as they used to, but Peaty deserves some serious recognition. He's a true ambassador for the sport and - although I've never met him - always seems to be a decent and affable chap. Chris Hoy got a knighthood for 'services to velodrome cycling', so it's about time Peaty got some similar props! Nice vid too Smile

 I have to agree with all that, Steve has done so much for the sport he definitely deserves some form of formal recognition.

 The new trail in the woods you boy's were riding is called Alexander Super Trout.
Would have been nice for you to wait until the builders have finished it before you rode/filmed it though!

 sorry about that mate, didn't realise it wasn't finished, just got taken there by the lads and told it was the one to film. Massive respect to the builders though it is an awesome trail.

 i know the trail builders craig and james very good friends of mine. And the other dude who's been building Gee was aware of me filming on the track. how do i know if its not finished or not?? riding it surely helps a track been built! next time ill wait for permission.

 You know a trail is not finished when it stops suddenly in the bushes.

I know for a fact that myself and Gee (the main builders of the trail) were not aware of the filming. That doesn't matter though we don't have any ownership on it and nor do we need to give you permission. We just wanted to get the trail finished and sustainable before it was riden too much. No harm done though.

We will be filming an episode of this is sheffield on it in the not too distant future too!
