 The word legend gets used way to much. But Peaty is one of few people I know that fully not only deserve the title, he should be in the definition in the dictionary for it. Here's to many more years of Peat on his saddle showing us all how its done! ;-)

 thanks to PB and to the film makers and Steve Peat for such an awesome movie, the best thing I have watched in a long time

this took me right back to my early mountain bike days in the UK; racing alongside Steve Peat, Rob Warner, Will Longden, Andrew Titley and a host of other guys and girls seen in the film as we moved from XC into the DH world.

It was a very exciting time to be involved in the sport, and I went on to found my frame manufacturing company 'Bombproof Bikes' with a team including the Weavers and Adam Robertson who went on to battle the other UK racers in the National, regional and many local DH events that were being held all over the UK.

And of course this film brought back bittersweet memories of my former Hardisty Cycles team mate JMC, who Adam and I rode along side (JMC and his buddy Paul Plunkett also used to come riding with the Newcastle University bike club) until he inked his deal with Specialized USA and the rest is history as they say

Great to get a better understanding of Steve Peat's entire career as I had lost touch with the sport in the late 90's until I got back into it in the early 2000's

thanks to everyone involved with the film, and best of luck to Steve Peat for the future as he has been such a positive force for so many riders in the UK and all over the World.

 Very well done. Great/bittersweet life story. Def have more love & respect for you now as i didnt know the history.
That feeling of 'making it'... when you got up from laying down on that truck.... wow! You my friend, are the definition of NEVER QUIT!
Age is just a f*cking number and you will remain in MB history forever. Legendary does NOT even come close to what you are Steve, youre jesus mixed with WHAT IT TAKES. You have the dedication of a f*cking PEAT! Nothing will ever match that...
Mads love and respect friend. Keep on keeping it real.

 Best part of the film is when Bas de Bever (young guys prob dont know who he is) was so stoked when Peaty won the World Champs and saying that was the most important day in DH, and how Peaty winning this one time is more exciting than Nico winning ten world champs (no disrespect to Nico of course). I would agree - the vibe is awesome when Peaty wins.

 No point in posting a review, wouldn't do it justice anyway. Few random highlights were the 10-15 minutes about McRoy, the early footage, and some of the race runs commentated by Rob Warner, I think it's safe to say he's a fan of Peaty's, and also one of the best story tellers in recent history.


Much like Senna, Peaty transcends his sport, his story is great even if you don't care about cycling. Which leads me to a question for the British PB users, why the hell has he no been Knighted yet? Get on it.
  • 1 0
 Man, that comparison to Senna is totally correct! They both gave to their sports what nobody else did. Both had their charisma. I mean really. Honestly Minnaar deserve nothing less that movie for himself, but somehow it's Peaty who stole the show. I like them both a lot, but Peaty is simply my favourite rider. Maybe one day Ratboy may be the one, but for the moment I still keep crossing my fingers, for a 40-years old rider, starting race runs from about 20-30th place. I don't like Santa Cruz bikes, but they have the best guys in the DH world cup. Cheers.
  • 4 0
 the thing with peaty is even once he retires he will still be alive in the sport even at worldcups, he has had a major hand in so many young riders every time they succeed you feel like its a victory for peaty too.No doubt he will probably retire from the worldcups and turn to coaching young riders. His imprint on the sport is so much more than results and triumphs but his major impact and part in the success of future and current riders.

 damn, i am still watching it and i just couldn't stop coming and commenting this, i mean everyone should have this movie in their shelves seriosuly this is not just pete's history you have the whole DH history in there amazing movie.
  • 2 0
 I appreciate that Clay and co give credit where credit is due. Sure this film is about THE GREAT SUPREME BEING PEATY but Clay also gives credence to the fact that Nico is arguably the greatest WC racer of all time. I would agree, just by looking at his results. TEN world champ titles?! who's going to be able to match that? This film was well done. I compare it to the old school film Headliners, but with modern HD and mainly Peaty being featured.

 That was really a great film. Perfectly capturing the emotions and making the viewer a part of it.

 Another thing this film really drives home, is how badly we need to see the return of some balls out top to bottom rough and technical tracks. IMO World Cup DH should represent the best riders in the world on the hardest tracks in the world. Of course, not every track during a season is going to be like that, but the scales need to slide back into balance and move away from the predominantly smoother bike park flow and super pedally courses.

 Shaun Palmer would slap you like a bitch on, and off the trail. If you knew enough about the dude you might understand his ego trip. Not excusing it cause he's an arrogant fuck, but you still have to respect the dude.
  • 25 3
 You can admire Palmer as an athlete for sure... But respect him, I am not so sure.

 nah, someone else would have came along and changed up the wardrobe anyway. DH is a masculine sport by nature. just depends on what your definition of masculine is Wink
  • 17 4
 If it wasn't for Palmer this sport wouldn't be where or what it is! Are you for real with a dick comment like that?! For anyone who has followed the sport long enough and seen Palmer, this video actually shows him has pretty respectful. It didn't matter how much he got beat by Nico, and how pissed he was, he never ever bad mouthed him, called him names, or anything but have total respect for how good Nico was. He was a whirlwind, and I for one truly missed him in DH.

Your the only douchebag here with that comment I'm afraid.
  • 10 8
 Watch miserable champion if you are in any doubt as to who Palmer really is/was, anybody that dogs on somebody with having no idea what they went through to get to the pinnacle of MULTIPLE sports needs to take a shit in their own mouth! And swallow.

That's you stevevstheworld !!
  • 6 0
 wow, we hit a soft spot. i think he's a great athlete. and he did talk down to his opponents and totally bad mouthed them when he could. it's been documented and he doesn't care that people don't like that. he's a sports legend for sure. a consummate professional? that's up for debate.
  • 5 2
 props to jmbrit + clarky78. doesn't matter if someone would have came along and done it later...fact is palmer changed our sport then and there. I wonder how many folk will have watched this movie that actually followed the sport from the JMC/kamikaze days
and how many folk spouting shit that have been into the sport only long enough to think that Blenkinsop is old school.

 what's with the overly angry defensiveness - it's funny. how dare anyone question my right to irrationally despise someone while on the internet!!!

 I have not seen 'The Miserable Champion'. I will check it out. I have no doubt he was awesome, and it is great that he had an impact on the sport. Still, he comes across like an arsehole tho. Apparently he is not the only one... On a side note I competed in my first DH slalom race in '94 so please don't hit me with all the newbie slander bullshit.
  • 6 8
 @jmbrit Do not threaten me with a good time. Plus Palmer probably gave up the sport to become a full time Nickleback fan. And do drugs. "A lot of drugs". I rest my case.

 Palmer didnt change only DH, he was the THE man in snowboarding. He was in 2006 U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team at age 38 and could not go because he tore his Achilles tendon and so on and on.... How about 2nd in Boardercrossing Snowboard World Cup in 2008 at age 40.

 Nowt wrong with lycra, so long as you've got the bod! Some of the kit is getting a bit tighter these days as it has obvious benefits, just look at Graves' enduro jersey!?

 Looking at some of these comments it seems that Palmer's bad boy image hasn't dated particularly well. That doesn't surprise me, I took an instant dislike to him when I first saw him on a snowboard documentary in the early 90s, and he continued to ruffle my feathers throughout his career.

He cuts a bit of a tragic figure these days, which unfortunately undermines his considerable achievements as an athlete, especially in the world of snowboarding where he's a real pioneer.

The mainstream macho version of "extreme sports" which he epitomised has always looked dumb IMO. I'm glad that our sport has been able to carve it's own path away from that world.

Huge respect for Steve Peat who is coming from that far and is still on top of the game and not willing to let it go. Happy B-Day Peaty ! Thanx for being here !

Fantastic story, fantastic man and an inspiration to me despite being 2 years his senior! Now I should probably go ride my bike! Happy Birthday Peaty. Keep riding hard.
  • 11 2
 I know a lot of people hate his attitude but I fucking love Shaun Palmer's attitude. I don't like the whole idea of clean cut professional athletes who do everything just to impress people, pretty cool to see someone just speak their own mind and do what the fuck they wanted to. But I've also got mega respect for Peaty, being in the game for as long as he has, I'd say he represents Downhill, if not he could possibly even represent Mountain Biking as a whole. Such an inspiration.

 dear Steve,
thanks for the opportunity to relive so much of my youth, we spent so so long watching dirt and getta grip, it still moves me when i drive past Jason's memorial.
I doubt i'll ever forget the day my mate and i were down the local bmx track and he said "what would you do if peaty turned up?"
imagine my surprise when when you did turn up that afternoon for a magazine shoot.
Cheers for giving me the chance to see the rise of Sam Hill, i missed that when i was having a break from bikes.
This film seems to be about not only your life, but mine,
From rickety old bikes with no suspension, through Gt RTSs LTSs and i still have my lobo, to coming back to this amazing sport.

Congrats for all your achievements and i wish you all the best in the future.

Aidy

 Steve Peat deserves a knighthood for what he has done for our sport in Britain. He inspired me to ride an mtb as fast as I can. Ad I know he's inspired thousands of other riders too. The man is a living legend! And as Rob Warner said, us Brits are one of the best countries in the world as far as DH is concerned. So why is everyone so hyped up about this football/soccer world cup (which we are doing worse than terrible in) when they could watch this and see their countrymen winning a real man's world cup and being far more exciting! I love mtb!

 I am a late bloomer to MTB but the first time I saw Peaty I was a fan and at the time I didn't know what he had done with his career and for the sport, a few years went by and I understood,knew and follow his career. But to watch this is an eye opener that brings it all into a new prospective. Every sport has its own legend for that particular discipline and non of them have done what Peaty has done for their sport like what he has done for MTB. The word legend well that's the only word that fits, Peaty you truly are a legend!! Happy birthday! Let me know when you want go ride!

 Peaty has always been one of my favorite racers since back when I started racing Downhill in 2002. It is so amazing to see how much he has accomplished due to the fierce determination he has shown during his lengthy career. ( Clay sure has come a long way since Spectacle ). I went there.

 Perhaps his greatest testament, the example made and the impression left with young riders who looked up to Steve, their ambition to emulate him... the sport, especially in the UK would be nowhere near the level it is now without this man.... No doubting McRoy (especially for UK riding), Palmer, Vouilloz, Tomac, Gracia, Barel etc etc shaped the sport, but none commanded the absolute respect and adulation of other riders (and prospective riders) than Steve Peat.... In virtually any other sport he would be recognised and awarded (sportsman bollox of the year?) yet his achievements and notoriety go virtually unnoticed to the general public... no matter Steve, you've impressed those that matter... us !

 I would agree that Peaty is a DH legend like Vanderham is a FR legend. SPOUT off once you have reached their age and accomplished what they have in their respective fields. Most of who is in it now, today in the moment, will be at best in ten yrs, honorable mentions or worst, has beens, or a passing name to our way of life. So many newer hopefuls to carry the torch for the long run are based on guys like these men! These guys are the plankowners of the quote' extreme' side of the mtn bike genre. Praise be given to their accomplishments in the field , industry and influence on the younger crowd that helps grow this passion we all share in.

 This film is brilliant. Seeing all Steve's ups and downs and his outright dedication over 20+ years couldn't fail to blow you away. Too often the careers of outstanding sports people who fly below the radar of mainstream media are never properly documented, especially when they have down to earth personalities and aren't the sort of character to blow their own trumpet. Thanks for setting that right!

 Fuck it! Fuck Green Mile, 7 Pounds or any other movie I've seen to this day. This one brought me to tears and that's what none other could so far. Best movie 2014!!! Cheers Peaty!

 As someone who just recently got into the mountain biking world, I have to say that this is completely inspiring and Peat's story is something that is truly incredible. Just embodies why people ride, because they love it.

 Saw this at the premier, and at the outdoor film festival. And still had to watch it again now. I ride bikes because I was inspired watching Peaty on the tv. World champs 2002.

 Fantastic, amazing, awesome film. Inspirational beyond words, really makes me regret now trying my chances at DH racing.

But several things I noticed about that film: DH races have become ridiculously short compared with the early days, look at those race times, 6mins plus courses! Now what, 3 min average. And I swear some of the old courses were gnarlier than nowadays even on those 4-6inch bikes! Another thing, who the f*ck allowed the 2009 World Champs course in Canbera to class as a DH!!? The footage from the finish line shows the track in the background, and there's barely even a hill in sight! All the amazing tracks available in the world and the use that shit?

 First film since Forrest Gump that's made me eyes water. Steve. You and JMC inspired me to ride. Hill added to that. Thankyou so much. Ride hard and ride fun. Never give up.

 Shaun Palmer is a complete asshole... he looks like a crackhead...... But great movie really shows what it takes to be as successful as Steve Peat. RIP Jason McRoy seemed like a pretty rad guy
