In 1995 Dirt was filmed in and around the grounds of Pete Tomkins’ house in Yorkshire.
It was a film about mates messing around on their Mountain Bikes.
An iconic classic, often copied but never bettered.
Jason McRoy would never see the final version; in August 1995 he was struck by a lorry on the A628 while riding home on his Harley Davidson from Steve Peat’s house.
The lorry driver was never traced.
Jason died at the roadside
In the film Jason could be seen riding his Specialized ‘fun’ bike, a specially-equipped bike that he used for dual slalom events.
This is the actual bike used and ridden in the video as well as being used in dual [SIZE=5]slalom events on the mountain bike circuit.
The bike is in pristine condition and has been ridden for about 10 miles since his death by his Mum, but has been regularly serviced and is in cracking condition
