James, aka Jimmer, is a two-wheeled fanatic. With 20 years working on MBUK, he got to ride some amazing places, ride with the world's top pros and of course, test a lot of bikes and kit. Having ridden and tested everything from XC to DH, he now calls the trail/downcountry stable his happy place. Although a self-confessed race-a-phobe, it hasn’t stopped him racing XC, DH, Enduro, Marathon and the notorious Megavalanche. Fast talking, fast riding, he’s still happy to send it, and likes nothing better than putting new kit through the grinder. Usually found bothering the local wildlife around Bath’s trails, he’s in his element whether on a bike, in the mountains, or immersed in the ocean surfing his local breaks around Devon.
