Dunno.
How does the US one work? A few people get inducted each year?
I think initially there were ten, then a few each year. I guess it would be good if folks gave a bit of a reason as to why they think someone is eligible.
Ok, my interpretation of the original O.P was to merely put forward a list for Nominations, so members could Vote from an ultimate selection...and a winner or winners are picked.
I obviously have reasons for all of the above names in my list, however thin the reasons may seem to others.
The Uk, is not a massive place, and i do feel there are a lot of Unsung Heros, that do deserve a level of grattiude, and thanks.
Call the view romance and rose tinted glasses if you wish, but for example....
Every Mountain bike racer on the list above at one time or another won a race/s on a Professional level, some went to the worlds and represented our country some had less funding and championed the Nationals, Some maybe more than some gave feedback to the framebuilders/manufacturers, (cause and effect).....making big and small changes to the development of the bikes we were able to buy on the highstreet, all thanks to much needed feedback provided by the racers, and there teams.
One thing they did all do, is work hard, the entertained us, they gave us competion at the highest levels, they gave us glory, we saw there pictures, we read there reviews, we stood there and watched them bleed for that slim chance of Victory.
They made me Proud to be English Again.
But as i say, this is just my view...., i wont go down the list, it will only bore you.
