  • In the Face of Adversity – Kasper Woolley

    In the Face of Adversity – Kasper Woolley
    Oct 8 2024
    Today, we’re joined by Kasper Woolley from the YT Mob. After less than a year on a downhill bike, Kasper entered his first World Cup in Mont-Sainte-Anne and made it all the way to the finals. But his journey to this point has not been easy. Kasper has faced significant health challenges and overcome serious injuries to make a name for himself in enduro racing. We sat down at the Loudenvielle World Cup to hear Kasper’s incredible story, from his early days in BMX and skiing, to discovering the health issues that were holding him back, and how he overcame those hurdles, alongside numerous injuries, to finish 7th overall in the Enduro World Cup. Kasper’s journey is a testament to resilience and determination. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Kasper Woolley. You can also watch this episode on YouTube here. You can follow Kasper on Instagram @kasper_woolley. Podcast Stuff Join the Team? We are looking for someone to help us part-time with video, YouTube and social media related bits and pieces.

  • Mont-Sainte-Anne 2024 – Post-Race Show

    Mont-Sainte-Anne 2024 – Post-Race Show
    Oct 6 2024
    Mont-Sainte-Anne is an iconic venue that once again played host to the final round of the World Cup. As always, the racing delivered and I'm joined by Neko and Olly to dig into what went on. There's plenty to discuss, with an updated track, injuries, near misses and more enduro riders than ever before joining the start list. It was also the end of an era with Greg Minnaar stepping away from World Cup racing. So sit back, hit play and listen to this Mont-Sainte-Anne post-race show with Neko Mulally and Olly Morris. Supported By Maxxis Tyres Maxxis is synonymous with performance and racing and is the winningest brand in the history of World Cup and EDR racing. No matter where or how you ride, Maxxis has the tyres for you with a wide range of tread patterns, casing and compound options. They also have a brand new intermediate tyre for you to check out, the new High Roller. You can check out the entire range of Maxxis tyres over at Maxxis.com, and find the tyres at your local Maxxis dealer. You can also give them a follow on instagram where they are @maxxisbike.
