Downtime - The Mountain Bike Podcast

Misspent Summers just launched their downhill and enduro yearbooks, so we thought it would be a good time to catch up and chat about some of our favourite memories from the 2024 season, as well as to look forward to 2025 and talk about some of the changes that are coming to the sport. Find out if we understand the rule changes. Hear our thoughts on three person podiums, the move to no protection, and the jeopardy created by the restriction on team numbers. The guys also tackle the big question, will enduro be ok? There’s lots to dig into. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Ben and James from Misspent Summers.

You can also watch this episode on YouTube here.

You can get your hands on Misspent Summers’ amazing yearbooks here.

Today, we’re joined by one of 2024’s breakout stars, Lachie Stevens-McNab. After narrowly missing the win in Poland, claiming third in Leogang, and finishing just 0.06 seconds from victory in Mont-Sainte-Anne, Lachie has become one of the year’s most talked-about riders. But his journey didn’t start here. A three-time BMX world champion, Lachie transitioned to mountain biking, quickly making his mark. Despite setbacks from serious back-to-back injuries, he’s finally hitting his stride this season. Hear how Lachie pushed through challenges, how Loic Bruni’s influence shaped his path, and what it took for him to break into the top tier. There’s plenty to learn from this laidback rising star. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Lachie Stevens-McNab.

Today, we’re diving into an incredible story of resilience and drive with YT Mob’s own Sian A’Hern. From a total skeptic about mountain biking to racing at Nationals – and then World Cups – all within a couple of years, Sian’s journey has been nothing short of remarkable. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing; she’s faced multiple injuries, each time coming back stronger. We explore her mental strategies, the tools she relies on to stay focused, and how she’s overcoming the feeling of getting too comfortable since achieving her dream of making it onto a factory team. Sian’s outlook on life and bikes is contagious, and there’s a lot to learn from her story. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Sian A’Hern.

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.
