Richie and Norval. Norval has also played an important role in the Fat Tyre Festival since 2007, driving the shuttle truck and a whole lot more. Richie was our bus driver and tour guide for the event.
Martin has worked with the Fat Tyre Festival since Jon and Andy took it over in 2007, and he's an important part of the event. There are a lot of logistics and a fair bit of work involved in shuttling 20 or so riders around Jamaica, and Mr Martin definitely adds to the vibe as well.
Jamie Edmundson. This year marked Jamie's 10th Fat Tyre Festival, which is a solid testament to the appeal of the event. The Jamaica Tourist Board used the slogan "Once you go, you know" for many years, and there is a fair amount of truth to that statement.
Sanchez Hubbard was a BMX rider from Ocho Rios. One day Andy Giles noticed his bike skills and gave him a moutain bike, and after a few years of working as a guide for the Fat Tyre Festival Sanchez is now living and riding in the USA.
