So look out for Dave at the weekend, repping and riding in 250LONDON gear.  Despite his elevated legendary status, he's a friendly, approachable guy who loves a selfie by the way, just saying!   He had this to say...

“Riding for 250LONDON is like the ride home! Founded by Adam & Jen, they create a buzz around the brand that takes me back to the early days and infancy of MTB, where people were not put off to try new things. Adam’s skills as a Designer truly give the brand a unique, fashion led feel and their boldness to go bright, hits the sweet spot for me. Looking forward to unveiling some new designs at the Malvern’s Classic, hey maybe even doing a Hemming signature model!”
— DAVE HEMMING, MTB LEGEND

Dave's competing in just about every category available to race!  Watch him in the following... Dual Slalom, Bunny Hop, Enduro, Legends Downhill, XC.  He probably won't even break sweat!!

With countless front covers to boast, here's a few clippings he sent us to share and these are just a drop in the ocean.  They'll likely evoke some nostalgia in you, take you back to the good old days when XC was the coolest new sport in town!
