The name J.A.B has its humble beginnings back in 1999. This was formed by a group of three riders
each initial of their first name forming the J,A and B. A fairly standard formula in that case...
It all started off with the typical photographing local riding sessions thing, which soon got put into
a seasonal photo magazine. Over time, riders who joined us came and went (mainly 'grew' out of riding)
but the name stuck almost as a brand. Photo sessions expanded to DVD's, which expanded to the web.
Which ever it was, the simple initiative to illustrate that the South East is for riding bikes was put
first. This page aims to show where all things fell into place, and gives a little info about those
who make things tick...
The J.A.B Timeline
The People Behind J.A.B UK
Name: Ben Wain.
D.O.B: 17.04.85
Rides: As varied as possible. Prefer the full-suss in honesty and most often caught doing Downhill and Shore.
Chores: Site design & maintenance, Forum admin, event photography & filming (more filming than photography).
Like: Digging trails and the mentioned above so long as there's not heaps of pressure!

Chores: Forum admin (though don't do as much as I should!), photographer and do the odd bit of filming.
Like: Actually being able to ride my bike when I get the
opportunity and getting a good shot.
Dislike: Chavs. Yummy-mummies in their Cayenne's. The amount of time Work and College takes up.
