  • Downtime Goes Downhill for the Last Time
    Welcome to Downtime Goes Downhill, a podcast mini-series that’s bringing you along for the ride, as we have a go at racing downhill.

    Downtime Goes Downhill is back for the final time ever. As the year comes to an end, so does our time together racing downhill.

  • From World Cup Racer to GMBN Presenter – Neil Donoghue
    Today we’re joined by Neil Donoghue. While many now recognise Neil as a familiar face and presenter for GMBN, his journey started long before his YouTube fame. Neil was part of a group of UK riders handpicked and supported by Steve Peat through Royal Racing. In this episode, we delve into Neil’s career as a World Cup downhill racer, exploring the highs, the challenges, and what ultimately led him to step away from the race circuit. Neil opens up about rebuilding his life and career, transitioning into a respected coach and enduro racer, why the EWS didn’t quite click for him, and what eventually drew him into the ever-evolving world of YouTube. We also dive into the explosive growth of GMBN, the shifting landscape of mountain bike media, and Neil’s thoughts on topics like injury recovery, e-bike technology, and much more. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Neil Donoghue.

  • From Beginner to World Cup MTB Racer: Sian A’Hern’s Journey
    Today, we’re diving into an incredible story of resilience and drive with YT Mob’s own Sian A’Hern.

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.

  • Josh Bryceland – Don’t Call It a Comeback
    Josh Bryceland, aka Ratboy, is a huge fan favourite. After stepping away from World Cup racing after his 2016 season, we've seen Josh change his focus. But after all those years away, will we finally see him back between the tape at a downhill World Cup? Join me as Josh and I catch up on the last few years. Hear how his use of psychedelics has informed some of his decision making. Josh shares the details behind his move from Santa Cruz to Cannondale, shedding some light on the impact it had on his own mental health. We also discuss becoming a father, running an enduro race and ask the question on everyone's mind 'will we see you between the tapes at a World Cup?'. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Josh Bryceland.
