I would personally like to thank everyone who has left such heart felt comments about Steve. Steve's son Tim knew his dad liked to mountain bike but it wasn't until he got sick that he learned just how important Steve was to so many people. These comments will show Tim just how highly Steve was regarded and how much people loved him. Thank you once again.❤
Great tribute to a great mate. Sad to learn of his passing. I'm part of a similar riding group here in Australia. Sunday rides are my mental health day as well.
So sorry for your loss Guys. He was so fortunate to have such a great bunch to ride with in his last years. Lovely tribute. Agree we must make the most of our time here. 😢
Mate so sorry to hear about Steve, his families loss and your groups loss. You are so right when you say not to put off the bucket list items as you never really know. We have a similar group of riders here locally that formed much like yours. Group is called the Spokesmen.. we also lost one of the guys just on 12 months ago and similarly to the rapid and unexpected onset of cancer. We still celebrate his life on rides.
Spokesmen. I like it. Sorry to hear about your friend. I am guessing in almost every one of these groups we have sadly lost one of our members to cancer. I guess that is life but it sucks.
Just come across this channel, and I can relate to the dad’s army thing being in a group of over 50’s here in Lancashire. Sat here with a tear in my eye.. Rip Steve❤
He was a special man to many ! What fantastic memories you gave Steve with your mtb adventures together . He will live on in all the great footage you have . Lots of love to his family in this difficult time.
So sorry to hear you lost your good mate Lance. We have a good MTB mate in a similar situation, he recently did the Kaimanawa Descent with us and had the biggest smile on his face for the helicopter ride up, but finds it hard now to do the bigger rides. You're right about getting out there while you can, and I think every one of us who do the sport probably think that way about life, just get into it while you can and are able. A friend and I zoomed past you at the bottom of Rowdy Neighbour this past Saturday. We would of stopped but you were chatting to someone about Italy at the time.
Sorry to hear about your mate. It almost seems like an epidemic at our age. Come say hello next time. We are always talking more than riding. People coming up to me and saying they enjoy the channel is the biggest motivation to keep going.
@@bestdayevermtb2 Yeah its good to look after yourself for sure. Yes will make sure I do next time. The channel is defanitely appreciated and love watching all the different locations you get to. Please keep it up :)
This was genuinely heartbreaking to watch. I didn’t know Steve, but had met and chatted with him and a few of the Dads Army crew at Woodhill at the odd trailhead. It’s because of Steve and the crew that I am now on an eBike. I was inspired to go e, through watching all of your exploits over the years. Condolences to Steve’s family. He made a difference in this world and that counts for a lot.
You are right he did make a difference to many peoples lives. Just getting people out riding and staying fit and having fun is an awesome thing to achieve
I would give anything for one more train down Eagle vs Shark with Steve - this is a beautiful tribute Lance, I've been struggling with words, but you have summed up how much he meant to all of us so well, so many epic memories ❤
Thanks Robyn. I know we are all dealing with this in our own way. For me I want people to know how amazing Steve was and to celebrate his achievements.
What a great tribute to Steve, having ridden with Dad’s Army occasionally over the years I know what a tight bunch you are. He will be greatly missed but will live on with so many memories over the years. Cheers Gyro
Lance, so sorry to hear of your buddy's passing, we lost one of our guys a couple of years ago, he had just turned 60 and was one of the fittest blokes I knew, still sadly missed. Hope you and the blokes fill the void left by Stevo with lots of great memories and keep his memory well and truly alive 😇❤
Sorry to hear about your friend, It seems so many people get taken way too early. Must admit our group seems very dysfunctional at the moment. Nobody wants to take Steve's place so everybody is sort of doing their own thing.
What a great tribute to a man who was obviously well loved and a timely note to make the most of the time we all have. My thoughts with you all at this time.
Hey Lance, building trails in the forest i would always come across Steve and have a good chat, such a great guy and a Riverhead local legend and guide. I will be naming my latest trail in Riverhead "Steve" if that is OK with the people who matter, hopefully ready for summer. Cheers Perry
Hi Perry. Steve loved Riverhead forest , in fact I believe his ashes will be spread there. Calling the track Steve would be great. I believe Matt Munford is also doing something similar. I am happy to make a sign with a plaque as well.
I've been watching your videos for years now and you guys have become my extended riding group. I feel like I have also lost a buddy even though I never met Steve. This is a superb tribute to him and I hope that Dad's Army continue to Shred For Steve. Take care of yourselves and look after each other. ❤
As a mtb and my dog I started on a hard tail and to hear one of the guys who was on your video pass away my respect and condolences to the family and friends RIP Steve from me and my dog Scooby 🎉😢
RIP Steve. At 58 years young I’m definitely feeling it when I ride the bike park but I love the rush of the speed that still keeps me coming back. Retired now I finally have time to ride all the great rides all around the US so I’ll keep riding til I cannot! You do the same! I started carnivore this year and I’ve finally dropped the stubborn weight and feel much better, hopefully will add a few years to my riding.
That was a lovely tribute to a bloke who obviously meant a hell of a lot to you all. Well said. [surreptitiously wipes eyes] As someone who's had life get in the way of dreams, your words of advice are spot on. You never know what the future holds for you or your loved ones. Enjoy them and life while you can.
Thankyou and what a Beautiful Tribute to your Bro, to your Rangatira! ❤🙏 Special for you to be able to share a part of his and your guys story and capture those EPIC memories and Special times that you shared and created Together so that you and those close to your Bro can look back on and cherish 🔥💯. Great message for the world too Bro! Take Steve’s flame he held for you guys and keep it going e Hoa! Hope to run into all of you Koro’s on trails one day-you guys are Legends!!! Mauri Ora!
@@bestdayevermtb2 it is mate this year has been tough for sure, but this addiction to MTB brings us together gives us positive things to remember and a reason to continue riding. SteveO wouldn’t want Dads Army bikes gathering dust he would want to look down on you all and watch the dust fly off as you smash it down the trail.
Ah dude. This brought a lump to the throat. Life is amazing and brutal at the same time. So pleased you guys had such an amazing friendship. And at least you have packed plenty fun into each other's lives.
Thanks Jamie. The day we had in the Tweed valley was just what I needed as I was very down at that point. Didn't ride much in Scotland in the end as just felt so low but Tweed was a highlight for me.
This so sad news! Shed a tear watching. Sympathies to his family and friends. Great advice Lance get out there and do things you never know what’s round the corner. ❤
I am probably going to be responsible for loads of middle age men heading off and doing crazy things now. That would be a cool legacy for Steve though.
I had the pleasure of meeting Steve here in Rotorua a while back. He spoke of dad’s army and how it started, and how much fun it has been riding with all the guys & gals. Such a great genuine man that showed passion in mountain biking. My deepest condolences to all his family, friends and dad’s army. Will definitely be in my thoughts when shredding in the forest. Thanks for the tribute video Lance, would have been a hard one to put together.
Thanks Chris. So many people know Steve as he spoke to so many people. Despite being in a group riding he would go out of his way to talk to strangers and talk about their riding.
Had to type this message a few times as I simply can’t find the words to express what a profound loss this is (plus the misty eyes)😭. Sincerest condolences to the Dads Army crew and Steve’s family. RIP mate.
Took my breath away when Zak told me the news, truly devastating. Steve was the most generous, warm hearted, caring guy. It was genuinely a pleasure to guide you chaps all the way back in 2017 and Steve made the effort to keep in touch ever since, a beautiful soul. Thank you for this video Lance, you're all top chaps :)
Lance - I've been watching you and Dad's Army from a far over here in the states for years. I am sorry for your loss, and wholeheartedly agree with your - "Embrace this life now and don't put things off, do the things you are dreaming about." May you all find peace and comfort during this difficult time and may Steve rest in peace.
Ohhh mate im so sorry to hear about steves passing mate thats really sad news. My condolences lance. Great to know he had a bunch of brilliant mates around him.😊
So sorry you lost your friend. I was feeling like skipping a ride this morning, but after seeing this, I felt ‘do it while you can’ got me outta onto the trail instead
So sad to hear this, glad you guys made so many great memories and got to document them as well. At our age, the goal is to make life as enjoyable as possible.
Beautiful tribute Lance and team Dad's Army. Must admit the last part of Steve doing what loved got me. Get out there and do what you love as life is short. Rest in peace Steve❤
Really sorry to hear Lance and all of dad’s army. Lost my brother 2 years ago to the same cancer, it’s awful as hard to diagnose early and such a killer. All the best to his family.
Steve and me had little in common other than a passion for mountain biking. This however was the basis for a great friendship between us and then developed into a huge network of friends.
Hi steve love your videos.Sorry to hear you have lost your leader.What an awesome group. Im from Taupo were we have a group similar to Dad's Army.We call ourselves the Old Farts. All over 70 and a couple 80.Check us out some time.
Nice name. Yes, dad's army is replicated all over NZ and the world. It is a great way for guys to get together and have fun and support each other. Must get back to Taupo at some stage.
Thanks for the kind words. Talking to Steve's son I don't think he realized what a huge impact Steve has had on the mtb community. People leaving comments will show him just how much Steve meant to so many people.
Hey Guys I’m gutted to hear of Steve’s passing he was probably the reason I got to meet you guys in Alex all those years ago on your trip to Alex. Hopefully we can ride again down here in memory of Steve.
Really sorry to hear about SteveO's passing he was definitely a stalwart of the Auckland mountain biking scene and he will be greatly missed both on and off the bike by all who knew him. It was so good to see him riding full on with passion and energy for as long as he was able to do so... Rest in peace Steve and thank you for bringing joy to us all through all of the Dad's Army's adventures over the years!😥
He was certainly well known and well loved. I am glad I captured that ride. Steve only managed 3 rides between diagnosis and passing away. Brutally fast disease.
Anytime matey you guys are awsum.always watch your vids and learn some stuff. Biking is in our blood and having the support around keeps us going. You have mine by the way.👌🙏🤙
That was a really nice tribute to your mate who sadly died. Like you mate I’m also 55 but I still ride like a 25-year-old trust me. Still quicker than a lot of people half my age. Age is just a number, it’s how you feel mentally.
I love it when I ask to join some youngsters on a lap. You can see they don't think I will be able to keep up. Seeing their reaction at the bottom is priceless.
So sorry to hear this sad news mate. RIP Steve, our condolences to you and the whole dad’s army in this time of sadness for you all. What a great tribute to a great friend!

Don't be sad, be glad you knew him!
So sorry for your loss Guys. He was so fortunate to have such a great bunch to ride with in his last years. Lovely tribute. Agree we must make the most of our time here. 😢

I love this channel and this is heartbraking news. Condonolences to all of the Dad's Army crew, family and friends.
Thanks for the support.
Sorry to hear of your tragic news Lance, truly we just don’t know how long the ride will last. Sending much love to Steve’s family and friends ❤
So sorry about Steve, bloody tough xx

Lots of love to his family in this difficult time.

Hits home mate. I’m 53 and have lost too many friends.
We all imagine we are going to live till our 90s but sadly many gat taken way too early. I guess all you can do is live life to its fullest.

Man, Steve is an awesome rider!! Beautiful!
Rip Steve, will miss you on the future video’s. Go hard riding in the next life 😊😊😊
RIP Steve such a shame awesome tribute ❤
We have all made into existence it’s truly amazing!
God bless Steve 🙏 I never got to know you but I know you were an absolute LEGEND 🔥 May you R.I.P
What a great tribute to Steve, having ridden with Dad’s Army occasionally over the years I know what a tight bunch you are.
He will be greatly missed but will live on with so many memories over the years. Cheers Gyro
Thanks Gyro. He will certainly be missed.
Lance, so sorry to hear of your buddy's passing, we lost one of our guys a couple of years ago, he had just turned 60 and was one of the fittest blokes I knew, still sadly missed.

@perryHughes I couldn’t think of anything better that would please Steve o ,he would love that 🙏🏽
@theziggyg maybe have some tools at the start for some trail maintenance.
Great video, Steve seemed like a top bloke. Huge loss but lucky to have rode with a great group of guys with lots of awesome memories.
So very sad news - RIP Steve - you will be missed and thanks for the memories
Was hoping the title wasn’t true! Sorry to hear the news! Is never easy losing on of the crew! Riding on with them in spirit!

Good on you for retiring. Keep up the riding and go out and have some epic adventures.
So sorry for all of your losses, a real tough time for everyone, what a beautiful way to honour your friend. Sending love from the UK.
Thanks so much. Wasn't sure how people would respond to the video but clearly it was the right decision.
Lovely tribute, thoughts with Steve's family and all of Dad's Army.
Enjoy today for tomorrow may not come. Thanks for sharing this story. I'll go out and ride today. Tomorrow? Who knows.
That was a lovely tribute to a bloke who obviously meant a hell of a lot to you all. Well said.

Been watching the channel for a long time, very sad news indeed regarding SteveO love to all you guys keep shredding for Steve.
I guess that is all we can do. I felt guilty riding in Europe while Steve was suffering. Just seemed so unfair.

Sorry for your loss lance n dad’s army
A lovely tribute to your good mate, condolences to his family and friends. I’ll shred for Steve tomorrow.
As some of my friends have said to me. The only thing we can do is get out there and keep doing it.

OMG Thats awful!
I loved Steve...he was such friendly guy.
Always remembered me and always had a good yarn.
He will be missed.
He was very good at remembering people. Had time for everyone.
So sorry for your guys loss!! And great tribute Lanced.
Lance - I've been watching you and Dad's Army from a far over here in the states for years. I am sorry for your loss, and wholeheartedly agree with your - "Embrace this life now and don't put things off, do the things you are dreaming about." May you all find peace and comfort during this difficult time and may Steve rest in peace.
Hope your ok saw you today at wood hill
Thanks
Ohhh mate im so sorry to hear about steves passing mate thats really sad news. My condolences lance. Great to know he had a bunch of brilliant mates around him.😊
Nice Tribute Lance. Thinking of you, Dads Army and Steve's family.
Condolences to Steve's family and the Dad's army crew. I think it would be great if you did some tribute video"s where Steve loved to ride.
I have so much cool footage. Some of it never seen. Was hoping to do something going forward.
Very sorry to hear that. 😥
So sorry you lost your friend. I was feeling like skipping a ride this morning, but after seeing this, I felt ‘do it while you can’ got me outta onto the trail instead
A ride fixes most things. Just about to head out myself.
RIP Steve , gonna miss the banter 🏴.
So sorry to hear about your loss, its sad but at least you all had a part of your life with him and all the memories together. God Bless you all.
wow how sad, my condolances to all of Dads Army ..
So sad to hear this, glad you guys made so many great memories and got to document them as well. At our age, the goal is to make life as enjoyable as possible.
Sometimes the guys find the cameras a bit of a pain. It has meant however that all these great memories have been documented to watch back as old men.
So sorry to hear that. Condolences to Steve's family and friends. Rip
Beautiful tribute Lance and team Dad's Army.
Must admit the last part of Steve doing what loved got me.
Get out there and do what you love as life is short.
Rest in peace Steve❤
Yes, Steve was only 61. That seems way too young.
That put a tear in my eye watching this today.
Must admit the first time I saw Zak's tribute bit at the end i balled my eyes out. We did a lot together over all those years.
Commiseration to all friends and family of Steve. Cancer is certainly an emotional roller coaster for all involved. Rest in Peace Steve.
So sorry for your big loss. My thoughts to the family and Dad’s army. 👊
Really sorry to hear Lance and all of dad’s army. Lost my brother 2 years ago to the same cancer, it’s awful as hard to diagnose early and such a killer. All the best to his family.
Sorry to hear about your brother. I know a bit about medicine and as soon as I heard Pancreatic cancer I knew that is as bad as it comes.
Gutted. What a lovely guy he was. Sorry for your loss, best wishes to Dads Army and Steve’s other nearest and dearest. 😢
Amazing how MTB'ing creates such fond memories of people and moments in time, great tribute Lance.
Steve and me had little in common other than a passion for mountain biking. This however was the basis for a great friendship between us and then developed into a huge network of friends.
Hi steve love your videos.Sorry to hear you have lost your leader.What an awesome group. Im from Taupo were we have a group similar to Dad's Army.We call ourselves the Old Farts. All over 70 and a couple 80.Check us out some time.
Nice name. Yes, dad's army is replicated all over NZ and the world. It is a great way for guys to get together and have fun and support each other. Must get back to Taupo at some stage.
Beautiful tribute Lance! I'm so sorry for your loss...
Lance I'm sorry fella. My Mum had the same and it was brutal to see and in such a short timescale. Rest in peace Steve
Sorry about your Mum. It certainly seems the most cruel disease.
Damn. Nice tribute Lance. I met you in Rotorua 2 years ago just before my dad passed of cancer so hits right in the feels
Sorry to hear about your Dad. No doubt we will cross paths again. Take care.
Nice tribute Lance . Never lose sight of that philosophy
Sorry for the loss of your friend RIP . God bless him in the name of Jesus Christ 🙏🙏
Very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing, love watching all you guys ride together such an inspiration. My heart goes out to you all and Steve’s family
Thanks for the kind words. Talking to Steve's son I don't think he realized what a huge impact Steve has had on the mtb community. People leaving comments will show him just how much Steve meant to so many people.
Sorry for your loss guys..just go ride whenever you can, you never know when it could be your last😊
Lovely tribute ❤
So sorry to hear ,life is so short live everyday like it's your last we are all here for a good time not a long time 🙏
Sad news. My sincere condolences to Steve’s family and friends.
RIP Steve…. Always loved his contributions to these videos, he came across as a really nice guy.
That was a moving tribute Lance.... shedding a tear watching it in the mealroom at work.
He wasn't as loud as Zak and didn't jump crazy stuff like Graham but everyone loved him and he was very funny.
❤️
I'm sorry to hear about Steve's passing. A great bunch of riders and most importantly, friends.
Steve was one of my closest friends. We had done a lot together. He will be missed.
Still can’t believe it. So sad. Rip. Beautiful tribute to a very well liked person woodhill/riverhead legend.
Thanks. He certainly was a legend around these parts.
Really sorry to hear this sad news Lance. My condolences to Steve's family and friends.
I’m very sad for you all. Steve will be a big loss to you all. All the best 😢
Hey Guys I’m gutted to hear of Steve’s passing he was probably the reason I got to meet you guys in Alex all those years ago on your trip to Alex. Hopefully we can ride again down here in memory of Steve.
That would be nice Phil. As you know Steve could talk to anyone and did. Strangers became friends very quickly.
Oh wow, what incredibly sad news, very sorry to hear this. Hope he's shredding hard somewhere ❤
Lets hope so. His bike came to the funeral and he was dressed in his riding gear.
@@bestdayevermtb2 ❤

That was a really nice tribute to your mate who sadly died. Like you mate I’m also 55 but I still ride like a 25-year-old trust me. Still quicker than a lot of people half my age. Age is just a number, it’s how you feel mentally.
I love it when I ask to join some youngsters on a lap. You can see they don't think I will be able to keep up. Seeing their reaction at the bottom is priceless.
Sorry to hear. I lost a riding buddy to Melanoma. As Lance said we need to look after ourselves guys.
I need to take my own advice as I seldom go to see the doctor. We are getting to that age though when things start to go wrong.
RIP Steve. Sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear this sad news mate. RIP Steve, our condolences to you and the whole dad’s army in this time of sadness for you all. What a great tribute to a great friend!
Thanks Paul. Really appreciate that.
