Tim was the Steve Peat of the bmx world in the 80's, most succesfull brit of that era, told me he would've raced downhill instead if it had existed back then, he loves it.
Back the good old days of Eurosport coverage there then, the riders could go from blazing sunshine in shorts to torrential downpours and be in one of those see thru boil in the bag jackets and back to sunny short sleeves for the finish....
