Jason McRoy was a pioneering British downhill mountain biker who played a key role in putting the UK on the global downhill racing map in the early 1990s. Known for his fearless riding style and raw talent, McRoy rose to prominence after finishing 2nd at the 1993 Mammoth Kamikaze Downhill in California—at the time, one of the sport’s most prestigious and high-speed events. This result marked the first major international success for a British rider in downhill racing.
In 1994, McRoy made history by becoming the first British rider to sign with an American professional mountain bike team, Specialized/Downhill Racing USA, competing in the UCI World Cup series. Though he never won a World Cup round, his consistent performances and aggressive style earned him global respect and inspired a generation of UK riders.
Tragically, McRoy died in a motorcycle accident in 1995 at just 23, but his legacy lives on. He is remembered as a trailblazer for British downhill racing, helping to ignite the sport's popularity in the UK. He was posthumously inducted into the British Cycling Hall of Fame in 2009.
Original oil painting is owned by Jason’s parents, Jim and Rose.

Tom Pidcock is a British cycling phenomenon known for his versatility across road, cyclo-cross, and mountain biking. While he has achieved success in all disciplines, his mountain biking career has been particularly impressive.
Pidcock's standout achievement came at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021), where he won gold in the Men’s Cross-Country Mountain Bike race, becoming the first British rider to do so. His dominant performance on a technical course against seasoned World Cup veterans marked a turning point for British mountain biking on the international stage.
Tom has claimed several UCI World cup XCO (Cross-country Olympic) victories, including notable wins at Nove Mesto (2021), Albstadt (2022), and Nove Mesto again in 2023. He has consistently challenged the world’s best riders, such as Nino Schurter and Mathieu van der Poel, despite often balancing a full road racing calendar formerly with INEOS Grenadiers and now with Q36.5 a relatively new pro tour team but one with which he claimed 3rd in the 2025 Vuelta a España
Pidcock is widely regarded as one of the most talented all-round cyclists of his generation, but his mountain biking achievements—particularly his Olympic gold—have had a significant impact in elevating the sport’s profile in the UK.

John Tomac is a name that looms large in the history of mountain biking — a true pioneer whose fearless riding and all-around talent helped define the sport in its formative years. Born in Owosso, Michigan in 1967, Tomac began racing BMX as a teenager before transitioning into road cycling and eventually becoming one of the first true stars of professional mountain biking in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
What made Tomac exceptional wasn’t just his speed — it was his versatility. At a time when most riders specialized in one discipline, Tomac raced cross-country, downhill, dual slalom, and even road — often in the same weekend. He famously competed in the 1990 UCI Road World Championships for the U.S. national team while also dominating the NORBA mountain bike circuit. His ability to switch between slick tires and knobby ones made him a symbol of the sport's raw, hybrid beginnings.
Among his most iconic achievements are his 1991 UCI Downhill World Cup title, multiple NORBA National Championships, and a silver medal at the 1991 UCI XC World Championships. His aggressive style, flowing technique, and signature drop-bar mountain bike setups made him a fan favorite and a visual icon of early MTB culture.
Beyond the results, Tomac's influence helped shape mountain biking’s evolution from a fringe pastime into a global sport. He brought professional polish and cross-disciplinary credibility, inspiring a generation of riders to blur the lines between speed, skill, and style. Later, his legacy continued through his brand Tomac Bikes and through his son, Eli Tomac, a motocross and supercross champion in his own right.
From BMX tracks in Michigan to the wild descents of Mammoth Mountain, John Tomac didn’t just ride mountain bikes — he helped invent what it meant to be a mountain biker.
I hope this painting captures a bit of Tomac’s outright bossing of the bike and inspires you to shred in true JT style. The original oil painting is available. Prints are on Hahnemule photo rag artists paper. All profit from the sale of prints and the original will be donated to RideForCharlie

Nino Schurter is widely regarded as the greatest cross-country mountain biker of all time. The Swiss legend has dominated the sport for nearly two decades, with an unparalleled list of achievements that includes a record-breaking 10 Elite World Championship titles, 36 UCI World Cup wins, and an Olympic gold medal from Rio 2016, along with silver (2008) and bronze (2012).
Beyond the World Cup circuit, Schurter has also shown his strength in stage racing, winning the prestigious Cape Epic three times — in 2017 with Matthias Stirnemann, in 2019 with Lars Forster and in 2025 with Filip Columbo — showcasing his endurance and versatility over multi-day events.
After a career that redefined cross-country mountain biking, Schurter has announced that his final professional race will be the Lenzerheide World Cup, held in his home country of Switzerland. It's a fitting venue for the sport's GOAT to close an extraordinary chapter, in front of the fans who have supported him throughout his legendary journey.
