Welcome to Platinum MTB Racing
About the TeamWho is Platinum MTB Racing?
Platinum MTB Racing is an enduro mountain bike team dedicated to competing in enduro events across the UK including BNES (British National Enduro Series). We started the team in 2022 with two riders:- Lee Mciver and Harvey Slack who are two very passionate mountain bike racers who strive to be at the top spots.
Lee Mciver
D.O.B = 06/04/1999
Location = Dumfries, Scotland
Lee Mciver started racing downhill at the age of 13u; competing in SDA events across Scotland with the occasional BDS round. Within only a few month after his first race Lee managed to grab his first win at SDA Ae forest. Lee went on to be consecutive top 15, then in 2016 Lee was asked to represent Team GB at the UCI world cup in Fort William. Sadly Lee did not qualify but the experience he took away from that race was worth it. The following month Lee decided to take on an enduro race being held at Kirroughtree and bagged himself a second place. This is where Lee mad his switch to enduro racing with the odd downhill race when he could. Lee went on to win 2 races and managed a third while still keeping him self within the top 10.
Lee started racing for Platinum MTB Racing in 2022 after reaching out to us in 2021 at Llangollen PMBA in need of support. We had seen Lee race and knew he had the style and determination to be the fastest. The way Lee carries himself on race weekends is years far beyond his age. Lee has a great reputation at his local (Ae forest) with the bike shop and also the younger generation. When Lee has some spare time he will spend it helping the younger riders in his local area.
Harvey Slack
DOB = 22/09/2003
Location = Richmond, England
Harvey comes from a competitive background having competed in dual slalom skiing and trial bike events. Harvey started racing enduro in 2018 and in his first race managed to come 4th. With only starting racing in 2018 Harvey has a very impressive record with 21 races under his belt. Out of those 21 Harvey has found himself on the podium 10 times with 6 of them taking the win. On two occasions Harvey has managed to be fastest rider overall. In 2022 Harvey took the win at SDA Ae forest on his enduro bike in a stacked category.
Harvey caught our attention at a local race where he took fastest time of the day and showed great professionalism in doing so. His attitude towards racing and being the fastest stands out among the rest. Harvey has already had a great start to 2023 coming third at NDH Descendant enduro.
