In this episode the boys are joined by Tim March who ghostwrote Steve Peat’s new autobiography “Forged By Speed – The Making of a Mountain Bike World Champion”.
Steve Peat needs no introduction, he had a prolific downhill race career with 17 World Cup wins, 2 World Cup Overall titles, and a World Championship title. He is currently the head coach and team manager of the Santa Cruz Syndicate race team. He is hands down one of the fastest and most successful downhill mountain bike athletes in history.
He’s well known, not only for being wicked fast on a bike, but for his rock star persona. There’s no other athlete that we can think of that embodied the “work hard – play hard” philosophy more than Peaty. His party animal shenanigans are as well documented in the media as is his downhill supremacy.
The book, which was underpinned by ~20,000 journal entries that Steve religiously kept throughout his career, tells the deeper story of Steve’s upbringing, thought process, training methodology, challenges, and a healthy amount of his infamous shenanigans.
Ghostwriter Tim March (who himself, is a Professional BMX racing legend and long-established bike journalist), worked for several years with Peaty to document and give fans a true inside look into Steve’s back story and the trials and tribulations that lead to his success.
