my name is steve but most people call me peaty. i live in sheffield. mt favourate food is fish and chips and i am married. last but not least i love to ride.
I started riding bikes from around the age of 3 years old, I had 2 older brothers who I used to chase around the streets at home and then we all got BMX bikes and I used to chase them over the jumps in the park. I got into Mountain bikes when I finished school and didn’t start racing until I was 19.
Early on I would say it was my brothers that used to influence me, but since then the people that I look up to in races were Jason McRoy, He was the first UK guy to go out to the States and get a big deal. John Tomac He Always looked wicked in pictures and was an awesome all round rider.
Jeremy Mc Grath also influence me in other ways, he is a true pro and a really nice guy and used to dominate his sport.
I can ride most terrain fast, carry speed well, hit technical sections fast, and keep a level head when it comes to the mental side of things.
I would say winning the 2 World cup titles has been my greatest Achievement, but I would also like to say that Fort William World cup race last season will be my Greatest memory of racing. for my worst race it has to be Les Gets World Champs in 05, I was up at the split and crashed with only 200yrds to go. That hurt me a lot and will hurt forever.
