Title: Jeremy Velhurst
Post by: TwoBobRob on September 05, 2008, 09:03 PM: My apologies if I've spelt his surname wrong :-[

So can anyone give a little history on him? I only know him from various Standard vid sections, always loved his style and apparent attitude. What became of him, he's not been on Standard for a while has he? Is he still riding?

Post by: Philbert on September 06, 2008, 02:40 PM: rode for standard all through the 90's and worked in the warehouse stickering the frames amonst other things! had his own small company called 'team jv'. not sure how far it went but he made an awesome video in conjunction with SBC. not sure if he is still at standard or moved away. i'll try and find out a little more!

on a personal note, good to meet and ride with him! loads of energy when he rides, stupidly high airs to 5050!

After that whole deal when Velhurst punched that guy (it was in a bike Video) Trainor was going to find Velhurst and punch him. All very silly, but they were very similar.

I heard that the guy wrote that comment in the card, didnt know that Jeff had actually broken his neck.
I think Velhurst even aploagised for punching him a while after.
