John Tomac is both a legend of the trails and roads and known to be one of the most versatile riders in history. He competed across multiple disciplines (BMX, cross-country, road racing, trials and downhill) but no matter where he went, he won. In the late 1980s and ’90s, his image was everywhere. He was a poster boy. A rock star. One week you’d see him bombing down a dusty mountain trail in the Rockies, riding a Yeti with drop handlebars. The next he’d be hammering the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix with Team 7-Eleven. Looking back, he says it was an interesting experience straddling two different worlds.
