DANNY MAC ON HIS TRIALS HEROES

“THE RIDERS I’VE ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO ARE MARTYN ASHTON, MARTIN HAWYES, HANS REY AND CHRIS AKRIGG. MBUK DID AN AMAZING JOB OF TURNING THE RIDERS INTO GODS, AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED! I COULDN’T WAIT TO GET THE LATEST COPY. I’D HEAD OUT ON MY BIKE AND TRY TO RECREATE THEIR MOVES. SOME OF THEIR POSTERS ARE STILL UP IN MY PARENTS’ HOUSE! I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO CALL THEM FRIENDS THESE DAYS, BUT I OWE THEM A LOT FOR ALL THE INSPIRATION OVER THE YEARS.”
