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.
