Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins from the Foo Fighters are both mountain bikers, brother in law met them at Squamish.
Motor gp racer Scott Redding rides downhill, pretty quick as well. I crashed hard while trying to keep up in practice at a FoD winter race a couple years ago.
Piers off of Dragons den also rides downhill. Not very quick and wears a LOT of armour and some nasty looking 80's style motocross jerseys.

Juan Pablo Montoya (F1, IndyCar, Nascar race winner) loves his MTB'ing.
